I recently purchased a 2000 era Honda 50 hp outboard. Yesterday I had a marine mechanic synchronized the carbs and while doing so he dropped the small plugs into the water that he had to remove to thread into the manifold the vac. hose. Where can I obtain a replacement and would it be ok to...

pretty much. Felt like it had dead space before it accelerated. The motor ran good

I had the boat out several times, as i am working out the bugs and all appeared ok. I recently has the carbs rebuilt and yesterday took the boat out for a spin. I did notice that when i shifted the control in forward position and proceeded to accelerate the shifter arm traveled some before it...

Not sure where to look?.

I recently purchased a 1997 18 ft Polar Kraft. The boat has a 50 hp 4 stroke that I believe is in the 2000 era. Today I decided to clean up the rat nest of wires and install a fuse block. As I worked on clearing wires that had been zip tied to the steering cable and outboard remote control I...

The problem i have is the front deck sits below the gunnel and does not allow a trolling motor to be mount. Please help with some ideals or OEM bracket I can...

It goes in reverse fine, and it does go backwards in reverse, but at no speed. When you open the throttle up in reverse it does not back very fast and it does not have any power. I like to lay my trotline in reverse and when placed i like to pull the line tight. My friend has a 25 hp Merc. and...

Purchased this outboard approximately 3 years ago and to date the motor is running flawlessly. Last year i did notice as i was laying my crab trotline and running my outboard in reverse the outboard did not have any speed or power in reverse. I could throttle it all the way up in reverse, but...

MallardAddict Thanks for the reply. I went ahead and painted my boat with a brush, it turned out good and i did not use a quart to do the whole boat. Parker paint is some great stuff. After you painted your boat how long did you wait to put it in the water?

Well just primed my project 14' grumman v bottom and now ready to paint. I plan on using Parkers Duck Boat paint in Hunter Green color. Will a Bostitch 6 gal 2 hp pancake compressor run a hvlp spray gun and if so how much do i thin the paint and with what? acetone or mineral spirts

Well just back my Johnson 15hp tiller. I had to have a fuel pump installed. I placed the motor in a tank when i got home to run it . After about 5 - 10 minutes of running with the fuel line connected, i removed the line and let the motor run out of fuel. Would the next step be to remove the two...

The vent on the tank was open, i even loosened the cap to make sure . Still acted as though it was starving for fuel.

Thanks guys very good info. When i purchased the motor the seller started the motor and let it run. After demo, the seller removed the fuel line and let the motor run out of fuel. Due you think this might have caused the problem, possibly sticking something in the fuel pump or carb. The seller...

I am having problems with my 80's model johnson 15hp tiller. I think it needs a fuel pump. Where would be the cheapest place to get one, or does it come in a kit to rebuild.

I am new to the site and was looking to put a floor in my 1987 Grumman 14 ft v bottom boat. The boat has deep sides and i was looking to putting a floor above the second seat. I wanted a steady platform to put crab pots and to be able to stand and pull the pots. Need feedback on how to apply floor.
