Im having issues with my 2019 Yamaha F25LA kicker.   It was running fine and all of the sudden one day it started having issues keeping RPM under load.   I thought it was water in the fuel but have since ruled that out.   Plumbed off the same tank as my main motor that runs fine.  I have replaced fuel filter and fuel pump and it has not improved.  My next idea is to put a new carb on it.    I had my boat out of the water for 3 weeks for the local mechanic to rebuild the carb  and he never got it it. Just wondering if anyone knows of these motors to have CDI issues that could cause them to run poor? Or should I continue to trouble shoot the fuel system.

It’s an inboard.  I have gone from a 3 blade to a 4 blade 18” Acme prop. 

I have a Baha 277 gle that has a 350 MPI  300 hp rated in it.   It’s under powered for the boat.  I was curious to get some opinions for repowering the boat.  It seems like the cost of repowering newer fuel injection boat is much greater than carb motors.  Is there any shops that any specialize in newer fuel injected motor packages?

Looks nice, I think you will like them there.  I did the same thing but the only problem I have with mine is that I cannot get them to lock down tight enough so they shift on the tubing as I reel the boards in.

You could try wrapping rubber insulating tape around the tubing then clamp your reel over that.  That’s what I did on mine and it seemed to help. 

I’m pretty sure we passed each other a few times on Friday night.  I run a Baha Hard top.  Very good fishing for us that night. 

I’m looking to find someone to apply interlux2000 to my boat.  Boat is in the Henderson area.  Was hoping to have it done on my trailer and just paint the areas of the bunk at the ends of the season.  

Hi everyone.  I have had a 277gle for about a year now.  It has a 350 MPI inboard in it. I have to run 4000 rpm to get the boat going 20mph on a calm flat day.  It has an 18rx17 prop on it.  Does anyone have any suggestions on if I should re prop the boat or know of a good place to talk to about props?  I would like to lower my cruising rpm’s and maintain 20mph around 3600 rpm if that’s possible.  

Would you be willing to ship just board's?

The commander is great if you only fish smooth days.  I owned a 2050 handled big water but I thought ride was sub par. I felt it was rough riding even with a smooth moves seat. 

Take a ride in 2 footers before you drop any cash down. 

I’m looking to upgrade my electronics on my boat over winter.   It has an older ray marine C80 that I use for sonar and an older lowrance 7” unit that’s used for mapping.   I troll both shallow for walleye and Deep for trout.  I’m looking to possibly get 7” unit for running depth charts on that will be mounted in my hard top and then mounting a larger unit on the helm.  Does anyone have any recommendations of units that network together easily?  I’m also looking for something that’s capable of adding radar to also if I decide to do so.  Thanks. 

Henderson Harbor area.   I’m willing to ship the rods for repair.

Can easily replace the with a new guide.  Anyone who does rod repair can do this - it's not very difficult.  Sometimes finding the exact guide if its a lower end rod can be hard but I imagine on the Telora's they are using something pretty standard.  Feel free to message me if you want more details...

Any recommendations on a good rod repair person?

I have a few Tolora rods that got knocked around by the kiddos on the boat this year.  They lost the ceramic inserts on the last eyelet.  Short of cutting end of rod off what’s my options for repair?  Are there any guys that do rod repair?

Bump 

Thanks. I’ll keep trying to get maintenance records of the boat

Does anyone know in general how many hours a mercury 8.1 horizon motor is good for before needing any major overhaul?  It has 2700 hours on it most are trolling.  Will the 8.1’s last to 4000 trolling hours before needing major work?

I’m looking for a larger boat then my current one.  Seems like they are not listed online or hard to find.  Looking for 2000 or newer Inboard motor or motors.  26-30 feet with at least a 9.5’ beam.   Ideally rot free construction.  Baha, SportCraft, Pursuit.  Fuel injection is a must.  Fresh water only.  Anyone have any leads or know of any in there local harbors.   Thanks. 

I’m guessing the term flower pot is not a good thing.   I’m keeping my eyes open to all options.  Just looking for a solid boat for the family.  I know no matter how new or old they are problems arise. 

Do you think there would be more fish in the Eastern Basin if your hopes come true?

There is a 21’ kingfisher on walleye.com and a 1850 commander on marketplace in Syracuse NY

The dome measures 16” across.  Is that what you were asking?

I will have to measure the dome on it.  I’m in between Henderson and Mexico Bay
