I do have a carb. I will check the fuel filter. Thanks, Mike

Initially I could not idle. I had to drop back to the center and then quickly into gear. The idle seemed to be low. It would kind of sputter lowly. Dave I could not go to the link you posted. It said I did not have permission to view that page.

This week I put my boat back in the water for the first time this season. In December, I did my annual maintenance. I did not fog the engine. I filled up the fuel tank and added some sta-bil. I replaced the fuel filter. The engine starts fine when first launched. I run it for about 45...

You dont want to sell your boat. We have boated two seasons and love it. Your 185 will do just fine. I live in Pensacola. People tend to wakeboard in the bayous and a river, where the water is the calmest. On calm days, I take my boys wakeboarding in the intercoastal waterway. In Pensacola...

I do the same thing. Turn a light on at night. Unplug it when I get up. Also, pour about a cup of antifreeze (the marine kind) down your prop. That will help if you have any water sitting at the bottom of your drive.

Merrell Waterpro ottowa. I cut my foot real bad once trailering a boat, so I wanted a full shoe. http://www.merrell.com/US/en-us/Product.mvc.aspx/M-F-F/17151M/0/Gender-Gallery-Root/Men/Footwear/Filters/Mens/WaterPro-Ottawa

I have a few pictures from an evening of wakeboarding:

When I purchased a boat I was considering one of the Yamaha boat that have twin jet drives. They cost less and had a lot to offer. I asked around and was told to go with an I/O or an outboard. I did since I did not know much about boats and those who did was telling me to. I am glad I went...

I mainly cruise in the intercoastal waterways. Most of the time I am within ten miles of the boat ramp. Sometimes I will take a day trip to neighboring cities, Destin or Orange Beach. I travel there in the ICW. I do go offshore for fishing. Most of the wrecks I fish are about three miles or...

For me, almost every time I cruise at night I am returning to a ramp from my initial destination. On my GPS, the last 50 tracks are displayed. While taking tide information into account, I can usually be assured that if I follow my track back fairly closely that I will not hit anything that is...

Here is a previous thread about WOT level: http://www.clubsearay.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21555 Here is an article that outlines how to measure prop pitch: http://www.propellerpages.com/?c=articles&f=2006-03-27_manual_pitch_measurement You are probably better off having a prop shop put it...

You just need a prop wrench. I bought one of those floating yellow ones from west marine. That is good to keep on a boat, but not good if you plan on changing props several times on land. Get a metal one for that. I wish I had. The plastic one will strip. Or a deep socket, I think it is 1 1/4.

Did your boat ever go faster than 4200? If not, I would think you are overpropped. I went through six props trying to find one that would run properly with my boat. There are going to be a lot of differences going from difference size props (not just pitch, but diameter) and from aluminum to...

You are right. I had it backwards. I would recommend looking through information on crutchfield.com. I noticed a kicker speaker that requires a 5 1/8 cutout. Another option is to place wood behind the cutout and screw into that. It should still look clean and you shouldn't even be able to notice.
