The No Wake Zone / Re: Boat Covers?
« on: November 04, 2009, 10:16:53 AM »
I have the original canvas cover that came with my boat, but it is too pretty to leave on the boat to be destroyed by uv rays.  The one i bought from Wal-Mart looks very similar too it and hugged the lines of the boat rather well.  The nicest part is it appears to breathe and has kept the boat extremely dry.  Hopefully it holds up as well to the snow this winter.  Thanks again for the wealth of information that all of the members bring to this site.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the boat cover advice.  Went to Wallyworld about 6 months ago and the boat has been dry since.  Best 130 i ever spent!

V-Drives / Re: Steering onto trailer
« on: July 20, 2009, 09:11:53 AM »
Not sure what it is called but i have something that resembles a compass that rates how far the wheel is turned.  When straight forward it goes back to zero.  I will get a picture for you when i get home tonight.

SoCal Lakes / Re: Anchoring
« on: July 16, 2009, 02:15:12 PM »
Danger,
Depending on how far out of the water your transom sticks you may want to anchor backwards.  If i park nose first i get water splashing over the transom all day long soaking my motor, electronics, and filling the boat with water.   It can also push sand against the bucket making it stick (not fun when you figure it out).

 I started backing my boat in this year and I am not going back.   I put a sand anchor in the front (if you are anchoring in rocks it sounds like the box anchor is the way to go) and another in the rear keeping my boat out about 10ft. This keeps the jet out of the sand and the boat from flooding all day. The two anchors keep tension on each other and the line absorbs any wakes or waves.

n8,
hope everything works out for you.  I would go and take a look for you but it is about a two hour drive from my house.  If it is real questionable let me know and i will see if he can meet me halfway for you and i can take some pics and look it over.

Jet Pumps / Torn bucket linkage.
« on: July 13, 2009, 08:57:44 AM »
I was adjusting the bucket on my boat the other day and i tore the plastic casing on the cable.  It hasn't affected the throw but i am afraid of water entering the line and causing corrosion in the future.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to waterproof the line to keep water out.  I tried silicone but the first run it came off.

In Missouri these are very common.  They allow you to run in as little as 3-4 inches of water (ideal for small rivers).  My brother in law bought one last year and with a 200hp outboard it does about 42m/h

Here is the pic:

Not sure about the paint, but i was at the boat races 2 weeks ago and a boat there put down vinyl to cover the floor and stringers.  Looked pretty slick!

normally aftermarket tach's are set up for 8cyl, 6cyl, or 4cyl.  You may have bumped it or the wiring may have come undone.  I would google the owners manaul for the tach and see if it can be corrected.  If it is reading exactly double this would be my w.a.g.

hope this helps,
Steve

I figured that GT had hit the nail on the head with his comment.   It is a great feature i just figured that it was built into the pump itself.  On dash also works.


thanks for all of your help!

The No Wake Zone / Ignition Safety switch???
« on: July 02, 2009, 11:45:06 AM »
I was cleaning out my engine bay last night and noticed what i thought to be an extra bilge pump next to my jet that said "ignition safety".  Looks just like a bilge with 2 wires coming out of it but no place to put a hose to pump out the water.  Any idea what it is or am i just a dumba$$?
