Re: 1986 Outrage Classic 18 foot - engine height
Where are you seeing the transom height of an OUTRAGE 18 specified as 26.1-inches? I am not seeing that concerning the Outrage 18. Transom height is the nomenclature Honda used to denote shaft length. Honda BF130 Owners Manual has the specs. for the actual length of the L & X shafts. X shaft le...

Re: 1986 Outrage Classic 18 foot - engine height
It is mounted 1 hole up now and I can't see the anti-ventilation plate at all when on plane.
I would mount at max height since OM specs indicate transom height is 26.1". Should be the two holes up Marko888 recommended.

Re: Trailer Spindle
I would clean up the spindles and check for significant pitting of sealing surface. Make a judgement call and if decision is to go for it as is keep a closer eye on the wheels and evidence of grease leaking out. New hubs/bearings unlikely to be damaged and the extra seals would be on hand if axle re...

Re: Engine for 1986 11-footer
Apparently there [are] federal regs that the manufacturers use to derive the rating differences for tiller steer versus remote steering.

Re: Using Crouch's Formula to Predict Waterlogged Hull
hull factor of 180 Good factor for me when used for a 18 Outrage. Hull factor not much of a wild card.

Re: 2001 16 DAUNTLESS: Sell or Re-power
the boat stays on a mooring in Boston Harbor Bottom paint will reduce your WOT speed some but not down to what you reported. What's your RPM at WOT? If not near recommended it would indicate rigging or engine problems. Others are reporting 40+ speeds with 115hp and I would think you should be in at...

Re: 2001 16 DAUNTLESS: Sell or Re-power
Before spending a fortune to repower I'd recommend looking at changing your engine mounting height and prop. The speeds you're reporting don't match the boat/power and it should be in the 30s.however can be a bit of a dog... tops out currently at 26-27 with a full tank and myself

Re: 13-footer, 30-HP; Propeller Ventilates
How many increments of 0.75-inch--the hole spacing--is the engine mounted above the lowest position? Most small tiller steer OBs have clamp on brackets and basically only have one mounting height. They do not use the typical four hole mounting that allows for easy adjustment. It does sound like the...

13' Engine Mounting Height Recommendation - 25hp
I'm selling my 25hp 4-stoke Yamaha long shaft to a friend with an older 13' with a 15" transom. His Whaler already has a two piece lift bracket installed similar to the one linked below. http://continuouswave.com/whaler/cetacea/cetaceaPage56.html http://continuouswave.com/whaler/cetacea/images/...

Re: O-rings for Oil side of VRO2 OMS pump
O-ring may be and certainly appears to be 22 but since seal 19 is not included it would wise not to disassemble that side. If already apart I'd want to replace 19 too. Their note also says you'll have parts left over.

Re: New owner, old boat
The Hull Identification Number (HIN) takes three forms in the Boston Whaler boat: the stenciled serial number, the metal tag, the embossed number. Numbering of the hull was initially voluntary but after November 1972 became a Federal requirement. As suggested the format on the title is likely one o...

Re: IPX Water Ingress Protection Ratings
One thing to note about the rating and certification process is that with devices like mobile phones the IP tests are conducted under lab conditions while the phone is in standby mode, so there's a much greater chance it won't stand up as well if you attempt to take pictures underwater.

what do you mean by "bow down" in rough seas? Generally you do want to keep your bow up in rough seas particularly when meeting waves head-on. One can usually be safe to lower the bow some when in a following sea and when you crest a following wave your stern is likely to ride a bit highe...
