Just sent in a new PiranhaMAX 4di. Down imaging isn't an option I can select as it should be. Can only select the Sonar and Status options and when I select the Status option it will not populate the...
Newcastle here!
There has been some water intrusion but it appears to be isolated in that specific area. The transom is inset from the back in such a way that it will take a lot of water to cause issues. I've sealed...
You may try searching "free vector logos". I was in that business for a long time and he should be able to recreate the logo from a high resolution photo. Another option is searching online for...
Any good way to fix the screws that hold the ladder at the transom? Mine are loose and appear to be stripped.
Any more news on this subject? I am having nearly the identical issue. Mine doesn't smoke a ton or have a heavy fuel smell.
I have a 94 200 EFI that starts great on the ramp but this last time out it was giving me issues starting while warm. I would have to raise the idle handle to get it to fire and it would die...
I wish. I will eventually but right now just don't have the funds after purchasing the boat, upgrading the trolling motor, adding a new battery, upgrading the stereo and upgrading to a Humminbird.
Can anyone tell me what box I need to replace my existing steering box. The one I currently have is a little too loose for me. It appears to be a Dual No Feedback Rotary style box. Would like to up...
Been a while since I've been on here since my 83 Ebbtide got parked for a while. Well I have recently traded it for a 4wheeler and am now the proud owner of the 94 20' Procraft F/S. So far love the...
I have the exact boat but only in a fish/ski set up. I replaced my transom 8-9 years ago and it's still holding strong. Now I have to get my motor bugs worked out. Take some pics of the gel for us.
Hey Frank let me know if you want some help. Just down the road here in Newcastle. My brother lives in Piedmont so it would give me a good excuse to see him as well.
http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif I was wondering how you would reinforce that area when it went back together. Did you glass the deck on the bottom and top?
Thank you sir.
Hey Frank, who did you use to work on the Johnson you had on one of your projects. Have an 83 175 needing some work and not sure who to take it to.
The machine shops I know of are automotive. I'm in Oklahoma so would I ship you the powerhead or need to bring the boat to you? How long have you been doing this?
Hey Frank, you did a resto on a boat that had a Johnson on it and said you had a guy that was good look it over. I'm close to you and looking for a good mechanic for my 175 Johnson. Thanks for the...
Thanks for the input. Checking out different sites for used options now. If the boat was newer it would make this much easier.
I know Frank (TotalBeverage) lives close and he had a guy do some...
Thats about what I've found on the parts. A shop will rebuild for $3000 - $3500 here in Oklahoma unless anyone has other advise. As we all know if I sell and buy another used I could be in the same...
I have a 1983 175 Johnson that is about ready for a rebuild. Anyone know of a good rebuilder in Oklahoma? Frank? The boat is a 1983 Ebbtide Dynatrak so I'm also considering selling as is and buying...
Nice job Frank! My brother lives in Piedmont, I'm down here in Newcastle. I'm looking for a good motor mechanic and noticed you had a guy who works on Johnson / Evinrudes. Gotta 83 175 Johnson...
Good idea. Once I get the cylinder/spark checked I'll post my findings. Anything else I need to check while I'm at it.
Thanks guys. I'll check the cylinder firing when it stops raining here. It sounds like you guys are leaning toward electrical/spark issue. I may go ahead and order a powerpack and have it ready just...
Got it! Makes perfect sense. May take you up on the boat ride. If you want to try Oklahoma Lakes, Tenkiller is a good one as well. There are about 4-5 decent ones in northeast OK.
As for the my...
When you say index the flywheel and do running check for timing can you be more specific? Where do I point the gun on the flywheel? As for the numbers on compression all were 95 with one 100 and one...
