There's a few ways to get to them, depending on what kind of phone you have. If it's blue tooth enabled and you have a blue tooth enabled computer, you can use the computer to get them off. If your phone has a removable memory card, you can put the card into a computer with a reader. If...

Let us know what it turns out to be. :) -Chris

Well when two of the top companies in the marine industry, Brunswick and Genmar are struggling as they are, it illustrates just how tough things are. The boating and marine industry has been absolutely hammerered during this downturn. Many have felt the impact. Hopefully things will turn...

Well propping a boat is a bit of an experiment of sorts. Every boat is a little different and responds a little different, so the best case scenario is that you find a local dealer that can loan you some props to test out. Then when you find the one that works best, you purchase that particular...

Welcome to the forums fourwinns - nice to have you with us. There a couple of basic factors with props.... -Material - Composite, Aluminum or Stainless Steel -Number of Blades - 2,3,4 or 5 -Pitch -Diameter Most would agree (I think) that right now, Stainless Steel is the best all around...

Thanks for joining up and posting over here Peter. :) That's a strange one...at first glance, it sounds like a defect of some sort. Have you checked the Sony site or googled your model to see if there is any info on the net? -Chris

Welcome aboard, nice to have you with us. :thumb: As a guess... I would think there would have been some kind of neutral safety switch on those models. Perhaps something is amiss in the control box and the system is functioning as it would if it's in gear? -Chris

On those speed adjustment knobs, they are usually compromised of a few pieces, the needle valve and then the needle valve nut which secures both into the carb. And then there is the knob itself, which typically just screws into the end of the needle valve by way of a small screw. If you remove...

Welcome aboard - nice to have you with us. Thanks for sharing your story, I guess in the end, all's well that ends well. :) -Chris

Could be a few things I suppose. It could be carb related... As in sticking float, or perhaps the gas was sloshing around and you picked up some crap or debris. I would be tempted to see if there is any dirt etc. in the bottom of the tank. You could also check the fuel filter and see if...
