Yea, I would say I have about 1/4 throttle left once I get on plan and am cruising. Not a ton, but enough to increase speed.
I actually don't have a tach. If I had to guess w/the 13 X 11, I'm probably actually running somewhere between 17-20 knots, best guess. I have...
Hey Experts, Looking for the ideal prop pitch for my set-up. 1988 21ft. Carolina Skiff (8ft. wide at top of gunnel) w/~2000 50HP Johnson 2cyl....
Tried the boat in the water. First of all, it's hard to start cold - have to use starting fluid. Ran for a while until it got hot. Buzzer...
Pulled the boat for other work and got ready to mess with the wires. Hooked it up to muffler and hose and ran it for ten minutes or so...alarm...
Also, this is from a rearward facing perspective. If you were facing towards the bow, the sides would be reversed.
Ok. So I see a beige/brown wire on the right side going from the head into something that says "Spare" (I assume fuse) and a beige/brown wire on...
Thanks! Thanks CDK! Interesting the seller told me it was a 2001, but clearly didn't know or knew otherwise... So the tan wire should be near...
Pics of Engine Here are the pictures of the outboard to ID whether it's a VRO or not. Now the alarm kicks on when engine is started cold...
I can't get to it until next weekend unfortunately, so will get the model number and determine the VRO status then. Thanks for all the ideas and...
CDK - not sure if it's VRO, but I premix my fuel, so don't think there is an oil pump or corresponding alarm. Then again, I am unfamiliar with...
It's actually a two stroke. I just bought it used, so not sure when the last time the impeller was changed. Leaning towards the impeller...
Hi Folks, I have a 2001 Johnson 50HP with good compression (135# and 137#). Just put in new plugs, water/fuel separator and lower unit oil....
Thanks Brendan!
Hi, I am looking to buy a used Johnson outboard. Had a guy do a test on the two cylinders and they came back: #1: 135lb #2: 137lb Is...
Hi, I am considering buying a 1988 21ft Carolina Skiff to be my workboat. I am going to have to mount a davit style crane to the deck; the...
Thanks all for the great ideas. As far as specifics go, the beam of the boat is 8ft from the bow plate to transom. It's probably around...
Ok thanks. Sounds like there will be considerable side forces at play and a solid framework and laminated base plate are required. I guess the...
Thanks for the help Gonzo. So laminate a big plate onto the deck and then bolt the crane base to it? I was planning on building some supports,...
Hi - I am looking to mount a Davit/Thern style crane in the middle of my 21ft Carolina Skiff. I am a novice when it comes to hardware...
