Call Rob at Action Marine. He makes house calls and is good.
Wasn't it called performance outboard or something line that. Morris is the one telling me bout it and where I took it last time. They've moved though. Major, Ill give him a Hollar. I need a good tuneup n Lower unit oil change. Might as well change out the impeller again even though I just changed it 6 months ago
If you can change the impeller yourself, you can do the rest. Not too hard to remove a spark plug and screw in a new one.
Changing lower unit oil is easy
Same building as the bass cat dealer across from tommy's trading post.. bass cat dealer has the front of the building and performance has the back
It's running real rough and cutting out. Itll be running good at wide open and then start spitin n sputtering. Think the injectors need cleaning. I've been using seafoam every few tank fulls but maybe not enough.
Is it fuel injected ? or do you have carbs ?Quote:

Been there done it with a previous boat. Been running StarTron since I got my current boat to try and keep the tank from ever getting any kind of build up. Well, tank seems to be ok, but fuel line still fell apart from the evil ethanol even though StarTron was in the tank. Put on the new supposedly ethanol resistant line with last yearly maintenance. See what happens now.Quote:

100% gas and keep filters changed = no problems. Its worth the extra trouble to find a station with pure gas
Recon carbs not injectors but this is DD you talking to here, remember? Lol 2005 Merc 125. Same motor Torch has
I also put stabil in the gas
Two stroke? probably has carbs.....and if it does....with its age its probably time to have the carburetors cleaned and re-built.....grab hold of your pocket book lolQuote:

I always use RJ's, he is behind Duncan Marine on Old Fannin Rd. He has serviced my 40 hp merc four stroke on my Tracker and both of my 150 Yamaha 4 strokes on my center Console. He has always done me right. Just whatever you do DO NOT take it to Smith Marine by Shuckers. What a rip off!!
No way I'd take it to Smith.
Pure gas...every time....and a good filter/separation system in line.
Is rj's going to stay there when duncan moves out on 25 ?
RJs is going with Duncan.
I went by RJs today and they changed their mind and are staying put. RJ told me they would be handling some alm boats and doing full service and motor work.Quote:

I can assure y'all RJ'S is going nowhere. I've been doing business with those guys since Rob was born
Rode by there today too. I would hate to know the rent he is paying on the huge lot.Quote:
