    Mercury 60 vs. Johnson 60 vs. Evinrude 70

    A compression test and a check of the lower units for a "Milkshake" on all three may help you decide.

    Yamaha or Mercury

    Which one has a long lasting timing chain and not a corner cutting belt? Hint it starts with an "S".

    12V - 55# - Group 31DC - Approx. Run Time on 16' Alumacraft

    18 year old 43lb Motor guide 12V, 27 month old East Penn group 31 AGM on a 1652 Weld-Craft/60HP Zuke. I have a volt meter on the battery. I lose 2-2.5 tenths of a volt for every continuous hour use on low speed.

    '89 Evinrude 70 hp, maybe

    I guess those numbers are off the freeze plugs. If the carb throat diameter is different between the 60/70 you might be able to use that as an indicator.

    2020 Tohatsu 50 Bad performance, Is It My Prop?

    I would start considering a new prop, and I would highly recommend getting a tach before you do to help choose the right size. I could definitely see how that "Compromised" blade contributes to your ventilation issue in turns.

    Post a Pic of your boat!

    Water was low in that pic. We walked the boat over 3 sandbars that day. Jets are not needed in most of the area we frequent, mostly sandy bottom around Ocala NF. Though Airboats are very common here. Jets and airboats are very common with serious sportsmen on the west coast from the Chaz river...

    Tin boat mayhem down under

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5yvvJ_3108 Nope. And the criminals down there have found out how to port and fab 50HP reed cages and carbs to a 30HP and do a rev limiter delete. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQOJTl3EFio 7.5K-8K RPM out of a 30HP Yammy 2-Stroke?

    Flotation pods on a bass boat?

    I wouldn't own a jon without them. I'm amazed how much of the hull I can fly at cruise speed without purposing. They act like the mother of all trim tabs, this directly equates to much less whetted surface and increased fuel mileage. I have a group 31 and group 27 AGM's under front casting...

    Galvanic corrosion problem

    Great info, Thanks! Will do the primer step before I adhere the mount piece with 5200. I'm also gonna run a fused hot directly from the battery to the bilge pump circuit so I can switch the battery switch off when not in use.

    Cruise fuel mileage

    Thanks Pappy and Insane for the info. Glad to find out the hours and service promps are in the ECU. That makes things much simpler. Yes that is my tach model. It's 4 days out of warranty. Gonna talk to the dealer tomorrow and see if they will cover it. Thanks again. Good news. Diamond Marine...

    Cruise fuel mileage

    DW and I did the 19 Mi loop around our lake yesterday. 21MPH cruise is now an indicated 3.6K RPM on the tach, It used to be an indicated 3.9K RPM. Tach is obviously defective, and just out of warranty. The can of worms is it has the hour meter for the engine that displays total hours in RPM's...

    Now THAT is a big girl ... or BEAST ?!?!?!

    That swivel foot and 2-speed tranny are true innovation. Naturally aspirated now, I'm guessing after they supercharge it (and you know they will) at least 800HP.
