    Any ideas for the most compact console?

    John, i have to agree with some of the other guys, as far as the "most compact" remote steering set up, stick steer! no console is smaller. i have a boat that had a remote steer 25 johnson but the side console took up to much room for me in such a small boat(15' x 44") so i bought a used tiller...

    Anybody a mechanic?

    the fuel pump is easy to check, sit down by the rear tire about where the fuel tank is and have some one else turn key on, you dont have to try to start it, just turn it on. you should be able to hear the fuel pump cycle on. it'll run for a few seconds then stop once preasure is up. if it makes...

    Home made mud motor?

    Thanks for the response! but i think you may have missunderstood me a little, my intention was NOT to do a weed-eater type, but rather build something much like a go-devl, or mud-buddy type with a 15hp or so engine. i just think the designs of these types of long tail mud motors seem fairly...

    Home made mud motor?

    Just wondering if anyone has made their own mud motor? I have seen straight shaft weed-eaters transformed into long tail mud motors, very cool idea but i don't think this would push my 15' jon boat. They don't look very complicated, so once again just curious to see if anyone has done it, and...

    question about primer bulb on outboard?

    you dont have to pump it up so hard that the float leaks! the idea is just to pump all the air out so you get a good siphon effect. just pump it up till its firm, and make sure the vent is open on your fuel tank. if your still havin problems out of it, make sure all your fuel lines are secure...

    It is just hard to compete.
