Re: Will Fuel-Injection Improve Engine Performance at High Elevations

I believe that changing the propeller to accommodate reduced engine power output at altitude is a common technique used by boaters. The shop [that is selling me a new engine] said I certainly would need [two] different propellers: one propeller for high altitude, and one propeller for the coast [at...

Re: Dauntless 13 Six Modifications Proposed

[The Evinrude 25-HP engine] has trouble with idle when cold. Before giving up on the engine due to trouble with idle when cold, review the original operating manual to see the exact starting procedure recommended in the owner's manual and any warm-up fast-idle options. Thats interesting. I’ve alway...

Re: Dauntless 13 Six Modifications Proposed

Also re adding a trolling motor: modern outboard engines can idle at very low speeds,.......10-MPG, one ought to reconsider the need to have a separate and dedicated "trolling motor." It’s amazing how much more sophisticated engines are these days. Back in the day we’d drag a bucket to sl...

Re: Dauntless 13 Six Modifications Proposed

We see a lot of "bay style boats" in our area of South Alabama. ..... I think those platforms are probably mostly used by professional guides who are not angling but attempting to put clients "on" fish. All of our experience with skinny water fishing is with guides either in fla...

Re: Dauntless 13 Six Modifications Proposed

...this boat...has sentimental value to me... After you take off the railing, put on a new engine, add a trolling motor, and add a poling platform, how much sentimental value will remain? I think the modified boat will have utilitarian value, but may lose sentimental value. Geez man. I appreciate a...

Will Fuel-Injection Improve Engine Performance at High Elevations

I plan to buy a four-stroke-power-cycle engine with fuel-injection and use it at altitudes that range from sea level to 9,500-feet.

Does fuel-injection as used in a HONDA or TOHATSU 40-HP or 50-HP engine produce a benefit for high-altitude performance?

Dauntless 13 Six Modifications Proposed

Hello, I’ve seen some very knowledgeable folks on [CONTINUOUSWAVE.COM]. I hope to get their advice to keep me from making any mistakes with my boat. I’ve come into possession of a [1997 or 1998--ALWAYS USE FOUR DIGITS FOR A YEAR] Dauntless 13. The boat has been in my family since it was new. I love ...
