Attention Pappy: Here are some edited photos. I put very bad black arrows pointing towards hole. It's just getting dark so new pictures will have to wait. Thanks for your interest and any help.

Attention Zum. Thanks for the link, I think it does show water coming from the same hole. I'll download and slow down to be sure. Thanks again for the help.

No the impeller looked ok, but I had already tore the impeller assembly down and ordered a new one. I put the new one in. Simple really, but I forgot the one casket and had to repeat the the process. It went back together as easy it came apart. I ran the motor for about 2 min in a barrel and it...

The reason I changed the pump was on the last trip to the lake it wasn't peeing. Second, it states in the owners manual that it should be inspected and replaced reguraly. And third calm down Tommie Boy, I asked for a little help, not to be lectured by you.

Changed first water pump this weekend. Pee is great. But I've got a leak or the motor has an overflow I didn't know about. My motor is a 2016 Toahtsu 9.8 Electric start. I decided to do my water pump myself. Hoping to save a couple of hundred bucks and a wait times of weeks. After forgeting a...

Hey everyone, picked a little cash and was wondering if anyone has or has used a Raymarine Wi-Fish. I have a ipad mini and was wondering how the Raymarine wifi and mapping options work. Couldn't fine many reviews online and figured I would trust you as fellow tin boaters. Have a good one. Zeke

Thanks for the reply, I'll get a tiny tach and check it with the new one. It's less expensive that the hour minimum of my boat guy. Have a good one. Zeke.

Hey Pappy, It's going the 17 mph, that's what is throwing me for a loop. Shouldn't it be going slower. I'm thinking of figuring out a different way to check RPM. If my tac/hour meter is faulty, buying another seems a waste. can I install a round in dash factory tach on an outboard that is just a...

I'm measuring rpms with a TTO tach/hour meter. The boat almost reaches it's max speed of 18.2 mph, it maxes out a 17.0. The boat is a Tracker 1542 with maybe 150 lbs of batteries and wood. The rpms were right during break-in and I'm at a loss of what could have caused the change. Thanks for the...

Hey all, it wasn't the "making oil"(see post below on "New Tohatsu making oil"" that was causing my low rpm. The motor is new with only 12 hours, I did my break-in to factory specs. It did make a lot of oil, I changed oil and took it out to Tims Ford lake this morning and it still only runs...

I have thinking of a bilge system for my 1542, and this fits the bill perfectly. Thank You.

I know it's not really Making Oil, but the phrase just works for what I'm asking. I got a new Tohatsu 9.8 for X-Mas and followed the instructions. Put the oil in to 3/4 full. (I had read about making oil doing research online, then promptly forgot about it when fishing.) On my last trip I...

Ouch!

Saw this on the Weather Channel website. What not to try. https://weather.com/sports-recreation/outdoors/video/man-sits-on-boat-motor-falls-into-river

Here are the pieces of my front deck going in. I'll be putting support underneath the deck after payday next week. But it'll work just fine for a day or three. I used an old cooler for my seat base. To stop the cooler from collapsing I used some old wood as my base. To lift seat to height that...
