    Johnson (Suzuki) 90: Another midsection corrosion failure

    Is the corrosion issue due to electrolysis at the point where the steel bolts and castings meet? Is this the only size block affected or has anyone noticed in other sizes, such as 40 and 50 hp Suzuki/Johnsons?

    All about propellers

    Many props have Diameter and Pitch stamped/cast on the prop hub. Manuals often just show a range of possible Diameters and Pitch so you probably will not find the one prop you have since one prop will not fit all. First number is Diameter, second is Pitch. eg. 13 x 9.

    All about propellers

    Our 2007 22' cruiser, with twin 40 hp Suzukis planes around 10 mph with Permatrims and trim tabs. I load the boat so that I don't have to use the trim tabs, and the engines are neutral. Minimum drag. If conditions require additional nose down, then I trim down with the engines, and then the...

    Service costs

    Threads don't spontaneously strip. If this is the same dealer that had done previous maintenance, then perhaps their quality of care should be suspect.

    How heavy is the lower unit on the BF150?

    One person of average strength(for 65 years of age) can handle it and get it up to a workbench. I have two 2x4 pieces bolted to one end of my work shop bench, extending about 12", which are just wide enough to fit each side of the lower unit under the cavitation plate, so that I have waist...

    Shore power

    The fact that you don't have a stove does not necessarily mean that you don't have a dedicated shore-power receptacle wired in somewhere, but if you did you would probably have found it by now. Some C-Dorys have the receptacle placed on the cabin bulkhead, outside, up under the recessed storage...

    Water leak in hull- forces winter projects: advice needed

    Two years and still looks new. Many beachings on sand and rocky beaches. It is critical to follow the directions very carefully. You get one shot at centering the strip while applying, so work slowly. If you intend to beach your boat, this is the way to go to preserve your gelcoat.

    Suzuki engine query

    If FI, you may have two filters under the cowl. Low pressure and High pressure. They should be replaced periodically. If carbs, then float level or low speed jet may be an issue.

    Re-Power with what!

    Removable Protective Film

    I live on a gravel road. I have noticed very small chips in an area about 1' x 2' mostly in the accent color gelcoat, at the same location on both sides. It appears to be in the right area to be road rash. Has anyone tried something like Patco 5560 Removable Protective Film or the 3M...
