I thought I'd share with you (for the guys who have one), what's beneath the side panel after you drill out +/- 60 pop rivets. I installed a Minn Kota 110 charger for my starter battery under the console and ran the wires to the stern this way. I have some sheet metal experience so the...

WELL DONE SIR! G3 needs to make this mod.

My ride.....da bomb. 1860CCJ

I modified (shortened) a motorguide TM several years ago. I took the head off, unscrewed the shaft from the motor, cut the shaft to length (the top, non threaded end) , shortened the wires, put new connectors on them and reassembled it. The head unit was only held on with a pin so all I needed...

I have a 1860 G3 CCJ/ 90/65. I think you will be much happier with the forward console. If you can, move the batteries up front too. If you're gonna go to a jet, you'll likely be spending time in shallow water (duh) and getting on plane FAST will keep you from sucking debris. I had heard the...

Many outboards have two sets of power packs. On older merc 6 cyl's each pack drives a bank of 3 cylinders. If you have one that is bad or greatly diminished, it will significantly reduce your ability to to get the necessary RPM's needed to get on plane. If in fact you are plowing a lot of...

Initially when I read this I thought it sounded like a power pack has gone bad. Sounds like you are only running on half of your cylinders. With regard to the cavitation, could it be a redistribution of weight? Did you recently do something like relocate a battery, an anchor...add a trolling...

Can't help you on the R's but I have a G3 CCJ 1860 with a 90/65 and I'm getting about 32 WOT (via GPS) with only me in it and fully rigged. Sounds like your right on target for the speed to me.

I didn't consider the water pump. I sure wish there was a workable solution for this......other that waiting until after fall. The engine is a 90/65 Yamaha 4 stroke and I can avoid the sandy/rocky areas while grateless.....but gumming up the water pump is a recipe for disaster.....no doubt.

I am wondering if it would be acceptable to remove my intake grate during the fall when the leaves are on the water. I had a heck of a time today on the slow stretches of the river where the leaves tend to become thick on the water. A couple of hundred yards is all I could muster before I had...

This is my first jet. I knew what I wanted and waited until the right model came up slightly used. I was concerned about the weight/performance of the 90/65 4 stroke. But, that engine combined with the center cockpit and it's on plane as soon as you hit the gas....a couple of bumps of the trim...

Thanks guys....nice to be here!

Thanks for the complements guys.... I primarily fish the Hooch here in ATL. It's close, convenient and full of fish. However, I'd like to visit the Clinch sometime soon and perhaps chase some Stripers in the Coosa as well. I was surprised how well this boat did on a recent trip to south...

2007 G3 1860 CCJ 90/65. I love this boat.

Hey folks....thought I'd share photos of my latest completed project. My G3 1860 had a single swivel seat for the helm. I decided to make a wider bench seat and make a canvas bag to hang off the rear. I drew up the new seat and bag using Google Sketchup. I took the drawing to a local...
