Hi Ray, Do you mean the part you mount on your transom? If so, it's called a "speedometer pickup". Some outboards like Mercs, have pickups built into them, so you just have to join a hose. The other way you can go is the a GPS speedo which in the end is more accurate and you don't have...

Glad to hear Jim! Hopefully your post will help someone down the line somewhere. :) -Chris

Here's a local News report on "the incident". gE5tVs4v8bE

Not sure if it was because it was a Ford, or if Winston just doesn't like Cop Cars in general. Enjoy! uXNmVZIoX_U

Here's a few shots of another beautiful wooden boat that was at the show. This one was made by a manufacturer called Blackbird. :)

How long ago was it last serviced if you know? By the book, you're supposed to change impellers regularly, although most people often don't. Over time, they start to dry out and then they start breaking up and then don't pump as well. Also, if you dry start your motor that will quickly...

Essentially a Merc dealer should be able to hook up a diagnostic cable and scan it for codes. That's where I would start. Then you go to other things if there's no code. Suggestions - worn impeller, plugged up water inlets, poppet valve etc. Then I would look at oiling system and also...

Hi Gang, We're quickly approaching a little milestone - that being we're very close to signing up our 1000th member. I would think we're only a few days or so away now. I'd like to thank everyone for taking the plunge, joining up and participating in building our community. With your...

Welcome aboard - nice to have you with us. :) I would check the obvious things first, like pulling the plugs and see how they look. If possible, check and see if you've got spark on both banks of cylinders, I would think you've got two powerpacks, one for each bank. If a pack goes or is acting...

All of our boating activities revolve around the cottage, so we haven't really changed what we do much. Perhaps if anything, we tend to use our small boat more as it uses less gas. But other than that, we get so little time at the cottage that it's hard to resist the urge to drop a few...

Hey Captain, Do you have any bigger pics of the 'Stream you're working on? And what kind of "grenade" do you plan on mounting to it? :devil: -Chris

It sounds like a fun project - wish I could help more. Maybe some of the I/O guys will chime in and have an opinion or two. I hope you'll post up some update pics as your progress, it would be fun to watch things come together. :) -Chris

Have you tried scanning the computer for any codes? -Chris

Here's page 14 & 15. :)

Here's a few more of the Chris Craft. :)

Those pics were obviously taken in the fall. We usually take out the docks around Thanksgiving weekend. I'll try to post a bunch of pics this year on a regular basis. I did that a few years ago and it was kinda fun and nice at the end of the year to look back upon the year in review as it...

John, Thanks for sharing, it looks like fun! Hopefully warmer days and more daily boating memories are not too far off. How does it run with the 90 on it? :) -Chris

Here are some shots of a really nice Chris Craft that was at the show. :)
