My jet boat is a little squirely and I feel like if I let the steering wheel go while I'm cruising down the river its going to pull really hard to one side or another, perhaps throwing someone overboard. Any Ideas on how to add some tension? I have the Teleflex Safe-T QC steering system...

I have an electric start '93 Johnson 115 hp motor and a minn Kota 55 lb thrust trolling motor and am wondering if I could hook up a starting battery (for starting the 2 stroke) and a deep cycle (for the trolling motor) in parallel without damaging anything. It seems like it would work but I'm...

Any guesses on how shallow this boat will run? its a 1978 16' Hewescraft river runner with a '95 Suzuki 140/100 jet. I'm not sure if I want to keep it and build it up or cut my losses and sell it. Mechanically its in very good condition but cosmetically its in very poor condition. Could be a fun...

I am thinking about building a small jet boat but I dont want to spend lots of money and it doesnt need to be pretty. I have my heart set on a 12' aluminum jon boat with an older 60/40 2-stroke jet. I figure any used cheap 12' jon boat I buy isnt going to be able to support a 60/40 2-Stroke...

I am selling my boat and was wondering how much you think I could get out of it. Its a 2010 Lowe 1448 with a 1994 Evinrude 50/35 jet. The motor runs excellent. This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjhGfnaFy-8&feature=youtu.be is up on craigslist with the boat ad for people to see how...

Here is my build. It's not completely done but almost.

Here is my build. Not quite finished but almost. Below is a short video when I was out on the Yellowstone in eastern MT (about 6 or 7 miles upstream of the diversion dam in Forsyth, for those of you who are from around here) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RiJCBXSCuU

So I got my new cables hooked up to this control box. When I move the main lever one cable moves and when I move the smaller black lever the other cable moves (only about 1.25"). So is there some sort of electronic signal between the throttle under the hood of the motor and the control box? I...

Got this with my motor. Does the main lever control both throttle and shift? There is also a little black lever that seats into control box and I'm not sure what its for. Thanks. ADDITION: So I got my new cables hooked up. When I move the main lever one cable moves and when I move the...

I just picked up this '94 evinrude 50/35 jet and I am trying to figure out how to adjust the angle the motor sits at. Is moving the bolt to one of the other two holes on the bracket the only option (see third pic)? I see there are some numbered dash lines (first pic) on the tilt tube and I was...

I am trying to order a tachometer for my '94 Evinrude 50/35 jet and it seems I need to know how many poles/pulses my motor has. Anyone know how to determine this? Also, is this a 2 cylinder motor I would assume? (see diagram)

Do you think a center console this size would look too wide/fat? I kind of think it does but I thought I'd get a few other opinions before I changed it up. I made it out of foam just to see how it might look when I make it out of plywood. Thanks

Does the one main arm control both the throttle and the shift? I figure it would but i though it was weird how the arm locks in the fully forward position. This is my first time having a motor that's not a tiller. I am about to order a helm and cable for the steering: you guys take the...

I just bought this control box off craigslist for my boat. Is it made to be mounted on the right hand side of the boat only? I was hoping to mount it to a center console. Is the black lever that seats in the box the throttle control? This is my first time having a motor thats not a tiller...

Anyone know how high RPMs would go on a 2 stroke 50/35 jet? I am looking to buy a tach.

I just purchased a '95 evinrude 50/35 jet and want to mount a tach on the center console. THANKS!

I have quite a few motor parts and lower units laying around my garage and I'm trying to sell a few on ebay. Anyone know how I can find out what years and HPs the parts fit? Maybe a website or a download I can reference? Thanks

OK so I have a '77 evinrude 25 HP and I just replaced the starter solenoid because the motor would not start unless you tapped on the solenoid while turning the key. I replaced the solenoid with the new one I ordered from iboats. Now when I turn the key, the solenoid will just make a humming...

Sometimes my motor wont start when I turn the key but if I tap on the little black box (called a solenoid I believe) under the cover it will start. You think I have a bad solenoid assembly?

I am looking into buying a used motor with 25 to 40 HP at the pump. There aren't a lot of used jet motors for sale here in Montana. Does anyone have some names of places in your area that sells used jet stuff? Or maybe a city on craigslist you look at? I travel a lot for work. For those...
