    New Prop-engine sync off?

    FWIW- I have auto-sync with my two Honda 150's and some days they stay within 5 or 10 RPM and yet on other days they seem to keep chasing each other as the RPM keeps increasing. I'm not sure if it's the sea state conditions, the trim on the motors, boat weight distribution, or the side I got...

    TomCat

    I also store the dive ladder inverted but without a bungee, and yes it can be easily deployed from the water. I also see that Armstrong now offers a swing option that makes it even easier to deploy and prevents damage if you forget to retract it, not to mention it can't fall off,

    25 Cruiser vs Tomcat in chop

    What do you consider a "go-fast" boat? Around my lake it's 80 to 200+mph and there are a lot of them out here. On some early morning weekends we will see 300 bass-boats pass by our house at 70+ mph in under 20 minutes On our Tomcat we prefer 17 to 22 mph for cruising. We have found that we...

    Custom boat letting question

    Based on your subject title I initially thought you were custom renting out your boat :lol: When I use a tape measure, the 5 inch letter height seems good to me , but the 65 inch length just doesn't make any sense for 9 letters. If you use 9 'fat' letters that are as tall as they are wide that...

    Anybody within 300 Miles North of Charleston Able to Help?

    I just cannot accept Honda’s one-size-fits-all oil change interval. Honda 150’s outboards are used all over the world, from the arctic to the tropics. They take ungodly abuse in both commercial and third world county use, yet Honda recommends 100 hour oil changes across the board. I truly...

    Anybody within 300 Miles North of Charleston Able to Help?

    My two cents and at the high risk of getting flamed- I have been using oil vacuum pumps for years with no problems. How much new oil it takes to get to get back to the full level will confirm how much you got out. [Edit- I like BrentB's OB tilting idea and will try that next time] My Honda 150...

    OB motor smoking on startup- Thank goodness for the internet

    OMG- Getting old is not for sissies :shock: I just checked my trailer data plate and didn't realize it included the empty weight of 2000. It is also the identical model to yours and with EOH. Bottom line- When the four disc brakes kick-in on my boat trailer it really feels like I can stop...

    OB motor smoking on startup- Thank goodness for the internet

    That's exactly what I did. The boat and trailer are parked on a separate scale and together weighed 9300 lbs. Add 10% for tongue weight and the tow configuration is over 10K. My plan was to disconnect the truck but two semi's pulled up for the same scale. Do you by chance know your float-on...
