My father in law has an Apeman H50 that was working, but now is not. We got the pics off the memory card and put it back in, but it won't boot up. When I connect with the usb cable the screen comes...

Thanks for the input folks. We wear PFDs even while fishing. I just don't want to have my son get scared due to big waves and not want to take the boat out anymore. But we do want to catch more fish,...

So I have a 14 ft v hull jon boat. 15 hp Zuke. I normally stay in what I would call medium shallow water of no more than 25 ft. I am somewhat skittish about going out to deeper water in this thing....

I have been praying about it daily No clear answer from the Lord on it
So I have weighed the pros and cons, which I think is prudent. It means probably a pay cut, it means a 60 daily round trip...

I am 57, wife, kids at home. The company I work for is a fortune 500 company so there is no risk of it going under. There is always risk of them downsizing and cutting jobs. I do IT security so that...

Question for the good folks on here. How much is job satisfaction worth? I mean if you were good at your job, your boss always gave you great reviews, and it paid well, you just did not really enjoy...

You left off some.
Used the streetlights as your "go home " timer.
Had recess in school that was as long as a normal class.
Drank from the hose
Wrote your name on the street using lighter fluid...

Took her out yesterday with my son. It runs amazing. I do have a couple questions though. I used Amsoil marine oil and did the initial break in of 15 minutes several days ago. When I first start it,...

FedEx delivered it yesterday. The book says to use Suzuki oil or equivalent so what oil do y'all use?

Ordered a 15 hp Suzuki from onlineoutboards.com .
Man that was a lot of money, but me and the kiddos will be back on the water soon.

You might look on govdeals.com for one. They sell surplus boats and tons of other stuff.

So I am still gonna sell my old 25 Mercury, but I found the receipt from when I had it checked out when I first bought the boat. Some of the same things wrong with it then that the shop says is wrong...

I have decided that fixing this one is not my best plan so it is up for sale for someone to fix or scavenge parts off it.
Tiller steer. Ran great every time we used it, but last time out (which was...

Where would I find that? The link I posted has pics of all the numbers I have found.

Not sure how far you are from west KY though. Probably 4 tanks or so of gas round trip

Yeah I think I am going to do just that. Save a couple grand and get a new one with electric start that I don't have to worry about. I sasked the guys at the shop and they said Suzuki is the best...

Before I got married I would put the livers on several hopks, put them in an egg carton sprayed with pam, and then freeze them. They thaw pretty fast in the water, but at least you can cast it out...

So I got it back from the shop. Good news/bad news. Good news is the motor itself is still solid. Bad news is the coil pack is shot which is likely why it died. Worse news is the gearbox also is...

Yes, I tried taking one plug out at a time. It spun over fine with the rope and by hand, with more resistance of course, but the rope pulled all the way out.
Disconnecting the wiring to the...

The whole thing just makes no sense to me. I guess I will have to take it to a shop and pay a few hundred bucks.

So I think I found the problem, but I have no idea what to do next. The issue seems to be with the "power" switch that has to be on to start the motor. 435683If it is "on" the rope stops after about...

Yes the shfter is in the handle. Gonna go try some of the suggestions now.

I looked at mine and this does not engage the flywheel until it is at full forward throttle.

That would be using the rope. Raining today so I am not going to mess with it. Overheating does not seem to be an issue, at least I don't think. I put a new water pump impeller on before winter...

Thanks for the reply. It was in neutral. However there is a good bit of slop in the throttle handle so it is possible something has gone haywire with that. I am not 100% certain the neutral lockout...

Last time I took the boat out it was running like a champ. We got about a mile and a half from the boat ramp when it cut out and then died. Went to restart and when pulling the rope it only came out...

So I have another question. After I took the carb apart again, I found a video that showed a gy taking a q-tip with some brasso or soft scrub on it, putting it in a drill and cleaning the needle...

Tried Jonathan Creek yesterday evening. No crappie, but my son reeled this bad boy in. Was about 4.5 lbs. And will be supper tonight.410043

So it appears the seat is pressed in. I can't seem to get it out. I have not tried very hard as it seems fragile to me. I am just going to clean it really well with gumout and a pipe cleaner and get...

Probably the way to go in this situation. And I currently don't have a trolling motor, just a home made paddle. ow just have to get the correct carb kit. And, of course, there will be 100 things in...
