Did they put a line counter on the new Kokanee Special Tica? I have two Caiman 150's and like them. Wish they had line counters, though.

Kicker now works Finally! I took the carburetor apart after trying Sea Foam. The foam helped some, but the motor still ran bad. I had no manual, but managed to disassemble it and soak it in Chem Dip. What a difference the cleaning and new gas made! It idles down real nice now, and I don't...

I spent most of the day trying to get the rest of the fuel out. Thanks for the idea about running the siphon tube out the drain hole. That helped a lot. It didn't work until I jacked up the boat/trailer about a foot higher. The tank is only 5 1/2 inches deep, so it's tough to get a siphon...

It's a 2025 sk, whatever that means. I siphoned about 23 gallons out of it today, but didn't get it all out. Don't know how much the tank holds. Pulled the floorboard over the tank out to look for a siphon spot. Had to remove the sending unit. Tomorrow I'm going to smoke up the neighborhood...

Thanks, Super D. I was wondering about why changing the fuel lines was pertinent. Hmmm...I hope it's not someone just trying to sell us more stuff. Your comment about storing boats inside may be important. The temperature fluctuations are smaller inside a garage (compared to outside), and...

Hello SuperD, OK...I suspect the gas in the engine was old and I have a full tank of gas of unknown age. On my 2-stroke 25hp Yamaha, I always ran the carburetor dry when retrieving the boat on the trailer. I never had a problem in 20 years with any fuel doing this. (I do use only Chevron). Do...

Thank you, Smoke! I couldn't get it to open up, but I'll try my other computer to see if it will make a difference. Thanks again! I'll PM you if I still have trouble.

Got the locking bar for the kicker on today. My boat key ring is starting to look like a jailer's key ring...

Look on the other forum where you beat me up already!

The new-to-me kicker runs rough...needs choke all the time. It stalls when I put the choke in. Plugs are wet and black. I think I may need a carb kit, sea foam or both. Where is the best place to get a manual online? Model is 2004 F8MLHC. Thanks!

There's a lot of truth to what you are saying. I would feel a lot more comfortable if there were a boat in every driveway in my neighborhood. However, there's probably not another boat in a two-block radius. I guess that's not too far.

Your observations are not unique. I have a friend who regularly tests fish finders side by side in his boat to see what different ones will do. Lawrence apparently assigns a fish arch as a "default" on any reflection that isn't bottom. That's why I have a hard time differentiating between a...

Hey Mr. FRG, Is that a brand new boat? Very nice. I hope you enjoy it.

I changed my prop to a lower pitch for high altitude and it works much better. I'm sure some of the Colorado guys do the same and would be willing to tell you what size prop to try. You need to tell the size of the motor, the boat size, and the current prop size. It should be stamped on the...

Here's another video with some boat theft statistics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NUl5RiNiMM

Yeah...new to me. I'll post photos when I get to it.

Thanks for the advice! On my search for answers, I just found a great article on theft from a thief's point of view: http://www.boatingandmarineinfo.org/?p=165 It does give a few tips.

Hi Guys, I'm looking to increase the security of two outboards...a 90hp Evinrude Etec and a 8hp Yamaha kicker. If you have any recommendations, that would be cool! Thanks!

Thanks, Smoke... I just ordered a prop from them a few minutes ago. A good deal, I think.

It seems like a lot of prop suppliers don't sell props for engines under 20hp. I find this strange. I'm currently looking to replace a Yamaha 8 1/2 x 7 1/2 prop for a 2004 F8MLHC. Thinking about stepping it down to a lower pitch as it's being used as a trolling motor. If anyone knows of a...
