Dead issue. I gave up on this motor. Changing directions..... CMOS

Normally I would do that but the current owner is out of pocket for a couple days. CMOS

Hey, My brother and I are looking a sweet garage kept boat with a 1998 Yamaha VMAX 150. Trying to find out if this is EFI or a Carb'd motor. Can't find an answer online..... Any ideas? CMOS

I have fixed and rebuilt a few OB's in the last few years so I'm okay with a little work. To be honest I don't have a hull yet, which is why I'm not in a hurry to get the OB. Need to get opinions on something like an 1860 Jon for a Bay boat. They should run with a 40HP reasonably well...

Thill, I forgot completely about FB Marketplace. Been checking Craigslist daily so I will definitely watch FB. ETA: there's a ton of motors on FB Marketplace. However, many of them have the caveat "needs" (carbs cleaned, impeller, etc.) What are the thoughts about buying a motor that...

Ideally I'd like something like an 1860 Jon.... CMOS

That's exactly what I WAS looking at.... CMOS

Correct. I decided that this small of a Skiff is not what I want for a Bay Boat. Texas Bays are big and therefore can get choppy, even rough. I'd really like a big Jon, like an 1860 type hull. CMOS

My local Boat mechanic suggested the same thing: find one with the Electric Start/Charge already included. CMOS

After a quick look, the parts are available for the upgrade for this 35. I'd be willing to pay a total of $2500 for this motor, with the Electric start/Charge upgrade, but no higher. CMOS

He's a former Johnson/Evinrude mechanic so he's going to give me a price to have the electric start/Charge systems installed. I suspect it'll be out of my budget. I agree, no way and I pull-starting a 35 Horse. CMOS

RedEye, what boat do you have for sale? CMOS

Howdy Guys, I have been without a boat for a few years now and have got the itch again (Texas Bay fishing especially). There's an ad for a 1983 Johnson 35 tiller, rebuilt a few years ago (he has the receipts) and has been garage stored for several years. Running well he states. Issue: it's...

I have read that Skiffs are rough and "wet", which is understood. Would any of you that have owned a Skiff steer me away from this type of hull? CMOS

Howdy All, I found a guy that has a 14' Carolina Skiff with an electric start 25HP Yamaha 4-stroke (tiller handle). He's asking a reasonable price. Thoughts on a tiller on a Skiff? CMOS

Disregard. Got it! CMOS :)

@pappy Just about done, but cannot get the lower unit to mate with the main housing. See attached pic. I have the shifter lever in the Neutral position, but I just can't get the lower to insert any higher. Thoughts? CMOS

That's right! The throttle travel is limited in Neutral! Thanks Pappy. I should be able to finish her up tomorrow. CMOS

@pappy Well guys it's been long time since I touched this motor but now that it's getting a bit cooler and the COVID insanity is simmering down I'm back on the job . I'm putting everything back together but noticed a problem when I put the carb back on: When I advance the throttle, the CAM...

Update: Got the Power Head back on the main cowling yesterday, and started the process of getting things buttoned up. Just need to follow the pics I took as I took it apart to keep the right grounds, etc. Pappy CMOS
