Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

what is bad is it was already broken, evidence by the new clamp mark, hell I would of at least "glued" it onto the carb

okay, parts should be in on Friday, I checked out the reed cs/chambers to double for debri from the gasket (I removed 1 pc from that carb, it was too big to get into reed opening)

Looks good now, 1 picture each chamber (I took 4 pictures so they are actually different ones)

Just got home, fed the alpacas and decided to relook at the wiring, since engine monitor did not work....so for some ...wtf-ever reason..the po, forgot to, NO he said fuck it and lets shrink wrap shit i dont know what it is for

So I cut open wrapped loom..ugh dude the grey and black wire need to be hooked up...dipshit

So i went from this To this And this Amazing what power does



Okay i give up on pictures from phone...
All lights are on like Christmas morning

Alpacas are happy And i got parts

I found time to button everything up yesterday, 4 pumps on bulb, quick bleed of start solinoid, hit key and instant idle nice crisp throttle...reminded me of 35 years ago and racing dirt bikes
Plan to button a few things up, and after church put her on the water for a shake down cruise (im charging 2 batteries and will make a quick ghetto mount for trolling motor. Just in case)
I will report back later...
.a 3 hour tour....a 3 hour tour...

So she is one color now Our guard dogs and flock protectors hard at work,
Must be .gov
So grabbed back up power

And hit the road, 20 minutes later...splash... And of course....cheers!!
It was about 45* with a good 6 to 8 blowing steady

On my phone Give up, pictures is pictures

Engine ran good, i need to richen it up probably 1^2 turn more on slow speed ciurcut, she is actually faster than i figured, except i get a lot...i mean a ton of rear hull slap when she is running hard, sits wayyyyy low on water at rear, the toons at 3/4 throttle have a huge wake...slow her down and she is happy
CHEERS

SWEET! Mine won't splash for a couple weeks....

Damn...still ice on my lake

Good job & worthy of some bubbly!

It was nice to get back onto he water,

Have about 10 moar things to get done/fixed so we can put her in her slip in a few weeks

I'm interested in the decking on your boat. It appears to be composite boards? Is your pontoon underskinned? Do you get any water between them while cruising along? Just curious, my uncles has been stripped down and we have looked at numerous decking alternatives. We would consider this as well.

Not under skinned and no water up through it, we have only been out one time for about 2 hrs of cruising at 17 knots (per gps on navionics android app)
Almost 20 mph
It is basic composite deck boards from Lowes

Congrats on getting wet! We were able to get Loretta Jane in the water this weekend, too. Beautiful weekend here. Had a great ride Saturday - short, about an hour. And a half day load of fun Sunday.
Like you, I still have 6 or 8 things to finish up. But, boy! Being wet sure was fun!

No doubt

Even tho' it was cold my Dad smiled and said "it's going to be a great summer"
