Thanks that is helpful I wasn’t sure what oil or quantity it held so that should tell me. I will get on it soon as I can thanks again

No doubt, my dad and I bailed water out of an old sea king many times. I miss that boat. But he now has a bass tracker and we love it. Maybe one day I will be able to afford an all welded boat myself, but until then my jon will have to do. The search for the ultimate primary catfish secondary...

Sorry guys been a little busy here lately. The wife and I finally had our little girl. Healthy as a horse! Mom did well also. But the tilt trim is a cmc power tilt and trim system. This is what it looks like. It has one ram. The engine is a 40 horse Johnson on a 17 ft jon with one of those...

I envy your shop supplies. I see your big Miller, maybe a plasma cutter, and those pipe dies and bender back there. I have to be at work to acces that stuff, I am a handrail builder. Your build looks great I sure hope to do something similar with my 17 ft jon

Will check fluid and check for any leaks when I get home. Thanks I will let you know

It is as the title states. My tilt and trim works very well when there is no load on the engine, or very little load. I can get on plane very fast with it trimmed down all the way but as you probably guessed I can not trim up to raise rpm and speed once I get on plane. Could this be a weak pump...

Well that sounds like a great idea haha. Never even thought of it, =P~

I have a 17 ft ouachita jon with foam filled sides that is leaking from somewhere and I can not find out where. The leak is not so bad that I can not use the boat But I have to run the bilge for about three minutes once an hour. I was wondering if there was something I could paint the boat with...

Good to know about the 2k rpm. I never have gotten too crazy with rpm on muffs simply because it is not good to free rev an engine that is designed to operate at given rpm with a heavy load on it. Plus it does nothing but waste fuel. I’ll see if I can remember to throw some pics up of the boat...

I consider 3k or so high rpm when free revving or no load revving. Is this still too high?

Thanks guys I think I may run a hose to a place I can easily see it. The boat I have is a 17 foot ouachita jon with foam filled sides and has old style pods on the rear that make it difficult to see the stream in its stock form. A water pressure gauge is in the future though I would say. I hear...

Hi new here. Could I run a hose from my engine up to the console where I could see it from the driver seat so that I could be certain my engine continues to pump water while driving or would this put too much load on the water pump? My father and I several years back roasted a motor due to water...
