Don't forget your wheel cylinders. When they stick the brakes drag, the drum overheats, the grease melts, and it's a messy hassle on the side of the road. MY RANT :amgry You'll need to remove the drum in order to release the wheel cylinder's tension, but how ? The drum is on tight and won't...

I replaced my bulbs with "WHITE 1.25 31mm Festoon 4 LED bulbs" that I found on Ebay. Designation DE3175. 2 Bulbs were $5.33 shipped to my home. These were a direct replacement for the original bulbs in my 1989 Perko 1125DP4CHR Mast Light. Perfect fit, bright, cheap, energy efficient. Please...

That's the rub, Joe. :wink: The F70 uses the same block as the F50 and F60 but shares a similar gear ratio to the 75/90. Compare the displacement of the 50/60/70 to the 75/90. Will she have the "oomph" to power through surging tides and bar crossings ? On a heavy boat, will that strain...

That's great info. 8) Adeline is STILL running her Johnson 70. She's real heavy with all the junk I carry. 14 X 13 aluminum 3-blade is good for around 5700 rpm and 27mph. That's plenty fast for top end as I rarely exceed about 22mph even on flat water. However, I struggle a bit in strong...

Nice 8) I'm still riding old iron. '78 Dt 400. The last year for street-legal 2-stroke big-bores. . If it's not smokin', it's broken. BTW, Senate Bill SB5800 is now in force. It provides a process to get plates for your properly converted dirt skoot How about riding a Cr 500 or KX 500...

I'd sure like to hear more about the F70. Is it enough motor for a heavily loaded boat like Adeline or should I keep waiting for Yamaha to offer a new "lightweight" F90 ?

That boat is TOO beautiful. I'd be afraid to take it out...it might get wet. :roll:

She's sweet ! :wink Welcome

Well‚ I read through every post in those links and I‛m more confused than ever. I‛d just about embraced the Espar and Webasto when I read those reports of sooting‚ coking and fuel sensitivity. I especially like the idea of ducted heat down at floor level. That‛s a Wallas weakness...cold feet...

Didn't he decide to use it as his anchor ? :crook

As I thought about this I was taken back to my Dad's last boat, a 45' Cruise-A-Home. In the main salon it had a wonderful heater called "The Cat". It was a catalytic heater (like the heat buddy) but it was permanently installed, AND VENTED. So I searched the net ("THE CAT" catalytic heater)...

I'm guessing it's simply coked up.

Sounds like the Wallas is functioning normally. :cry Just kidding. I've had this happen quite a few times over the years. The reason was always the same...dirty wick (fuel vaporizer). From bad fuel, condensation, or simply the passage of time. My old model( '92 or '93) has a fuel return...

Here's one way... You can make a template out of cardboard and run over to TAP Plastics in Lynnwood. They'll create a custom deck-guard while you wait. Custom fit and color-coordinated. A few dabs of your favorite adhesive will hold it in place.

Ebay Chinese Works great with 1000 watt generator. Allows the Wallas to act as furnace only so I don't freeze while I cook breakfast.

That's just awesome. The most exciting thing I ever saw was an empty beer can (it was Olympia). That instantly took me back to the 70s.
