I just ordered a noco lithium jump starter to keep onboard . For what they cost and how small and lightweight they are I figured it would be nice to have in emergency. I can't imagine what I would have to be doing to drain 2 group 27 agm 90ah batteries on a boat that has a 50amp alternator but...
I have a cobra handheld I keep on the big boat. We venture onto the chesapeake bay and it's tributaries from time to time so I like having it for emergencies.
It does sound like a fuel starvation issue. What's the cost of Injectors vs sending them out to get bench tested? Not even sure if bench testing is a thing with outboard Injectors .
If that's only a 1500lb axle it's sitting on I doubt its the trailer that came with the boat. A quick search pulled up 1klb hull weight. That only leaves 500lbs for motor,gear, fuel, batteries, and the trailer itself. If you keep and modify the trailer to fit the boat I'd suggest an axle...
Just seen our first wake boat of the year quite certain its someone who lives on this stretch of river as I'm pretty far from the dam. Was the last thing I expected to see round the bend as it's only 5 ft deep this far up today and the water is up about 2ft from the rains over the weekend.
Welcome aboard...I lived outside San Antonio for a few years and fished Canyon Lake a bit. I would keep the 15hp even on a 1k acre lake if the fish aren't biting at the dam and you decide to head to the other end of the lake the 15 will get you there 4x+ faster and burn very little fuel doing it.
Nice boat! That's going to be a very nice rig once you get it all sorted. If it was stored properly it may not take much at all to get going. I would check to make sure bugs/vermin haven't made a nest in any small passages and see if she fires on fresh mix.
The jetski and pleasure boat crowd doesn't get going here untill memorial day. I have only seen 2 other boats all year both were fishing but I haven't gone on a weekend yet
Fresh coat of wax ...maybe now it will do 60 lol. In all seriousness it took me over an hr just to get the scum line off from our first couple trips this year with the high flood waters. Been waiting for a nice warm day to give it a coat nothing special just spray on wax but it will clean up a...
Stocking up on bait and making sure everything is ready to go once mother nature gets ahold of herself. Been getting less salamanders and more crayfish in our traps.
20mph is moving with a 9.9 in that boat. A tachometer would tell you if and how much you could potentially change prop pitch. You can play around with where you have the trim set to see if that helps the time to plane any.
