For down rigging I would sell that 9.9 and buy a new 4 stroke 4 or 5hp kicker.. you would be about the same price. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

I would also vote for the long shaft motor, you could modify your current boat with a jackplate or reworking the wood in the transom. My newest boat is a long shaft and I love it for when the waves are coming towards the stern - be it trolling with the wind, or reversing into wind. Most new...

You didn't check the tank vent which was recommended.. does the primer bulb still collapse?

I have a 1974 25hp with electric start.. my motor does not charge the battery though. if you can find a starter motor and a solenoid etc. For less than $275 that would be a rare deal. I'd be apprehensive about dumping that kind of money in a 50 year old motor tho.

No one has ever wanted a smaller motor

To answer your question, you have a restricted fuel flow somewhere. By choking the engine you are reducing air flow so the fuel/air mix is sufficient for combustion. As Pappy said, we need more service history to give a suitable answer. It really helps if you tell us if it started all of a...

I was curious about this line as well.. I have 2 25hp Evinrudes with said line. I pulled off the line while the engine was running and raw fuel droplets travelled from the intake up to the side plate. I'm guessing it's some sort of drain to prevent the intake manifold from building up with...

Yup.. run 'er wide open.. that's what the previous owner did Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

An OMC is a johnson or evinrude.. same motor, different name

It all depends what your budget is. If its low budget, 2 stroke for sure. If you want to spend a bit I would do a 4 stroke. I'm guessing you want to troll with a 12ft, so the 4S has a lot less smoke to deal with at idle. A 2 stroke will run smoother, but if it's a few years old it will be...

I think what you should try is getting a lower pitch prop when you add the extra weight. Alot cheaper than a new motor.

Set yourself up with the motor in a barrel.. the extra resistance against the prop exhaust will change the adjustment.

Yeah clothes hanger is probably the perfect diameter rod to use Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

Ask anyone who drives a first generation Ram Ecodiesel.. lol

Imo that boat is too small for a console steer

I'm sure it's not real crucial for an exact measurement.. but I just measured my motor at 3 and 5/16 inches from center to center on the bends Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

Yes.. happened to me once with a 70hp.. motor would idle all day, but would only get half way up on plane.. changed the hose.. all good Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

This is my 1448 homemade Steel ATV hauler.. the 15hp 2 stroke will plane it out when its empty. I don't know what it weighs, but you can't lift it! Either your boat is not set up properly, or your motor doesn't run properly. The sales team should have known which motor to put on your boat and...

Neat concept.. but the weight and being a single cinder turns me off.. not to mention it's pure Chineseium with no dealer support. Also, did you notice the max rpm of 3800? You would need a 21 pitch prop to get any speed out of it!!
