I've only ran it a couple of minutes out of the water. I'll have to double check next time we're at the lake but if memory serves, it comes out the pee hole pretty quick when in the water. The port where I attach the garden hose is on the jet prop housing so it is adding the water down near...

Any more ideas?

My 30 HP Evinrude has a jet prop and there is a small hole in the jet prob for threading a garden hose so you can run it out of the water. The previous owner gave me the garden hose adaptor. My question is this, when I run it with only the garden hose running, nothing comes out the pee hole...

Monsoons are somewhat predictable but you never really know if they are just going to be a bit of rain and wind or a real mess. The monsoon season is a couple of months long and just about any evening can bring one in but most nights don't so it'***** and miss. In this case we could see it was...

Ok, first let me say if I can avoid this in the future, I certainly will, but if not, I'd like to be a bit more prepared. We went out last night to a local lake (about 10,000 acres) and things were fine, water was calm. We got hit unexpectedly with a monsoon storm and just about lost the boat...

Jim, thanks for the legwork and info. As for the weight rating, does that mean 900 lbs total including people or 900 lbs on top of 500 lbs for people. I'm guessing it means 900 total but I'm new to this. Any idea what my motor weighs?

I have a Weldbilt that I assume would be termed a 2036. It is 20 feet long, has a 36 inch bottom, a 55 inch beam and has a transom height of about 22 inches. It does not have any kind of plate or sticker on it that gives the max HP, people or weight for the boat and based on it's good...

Bump.

What exactly am I looking or listening for to determine if the motor is cavitating? Is it a pulsing type of sound where the engine surges or something else? Also, what do you mean by running with the motor unlocked? The PM added a piece of aluminum channel to the top of the transom to raise...

Two questions for you all. On an outboard with a jet prop, how do I determine the correct tilt? New to me boat and it appears to keep the prop in the water when running hard I need it in the last hole to keep it down in the water but it also seems the jet should run more in line with the...

I've done hours of reading on the site and love what you've all done with your rigs. My question is, just how are you all attaching your seat mounts to the boat? When attaching a swiveling pedastal mount to an existing seat, can you just use large self tapping metal screws or do you need bolts...

Well, I've went and bought my first boat. (Except for the Portabote I've had for awhile with only a TM.) It has a 30 HP Evinrude with a jet prop. The PM told me it was a 1987 model and it starts and runs well. I've had it out a few times now with no problems. Does anyone have any...

Is OMC the same as Johnson and Evinrude? I just boat a used jon boat with what I believe to be a 1987 Evinrude 30 HP and would love to have a manual for it. I'm new to boats and outboards so knowing the basic maintenance things would be great.
