    I don't get it. My apologies. I was wrong. I just double checked the specs. Here they are. Honda 8,9.9,15 Here is the spec from Honda Marine. Just do a google search. Too easy. It looks like the only difference in the 8 and 9.9 outboards is carb and rpm rating, the 15 is of bigger displacement. 8 HP Type 4-Stroke OHC Twin Cylinders Displacement 222cc (13.5 cubic ins.) Bore & Stroke 58 x 42 mm (2.30 x 1.65 inches) Full Throttle RPM Range 4500-5500 RPM HP Rating @ Propshaft 8HP @ 5000 RPM nduction Scavenging SOHC Valves per Cylinder 2 Fuel Delivery Single Venturi 9.9 HP Type 4-Stroke OHC Twin Cylinders Displacement 222 cc (13.5 cubic inches) Bore & Stroke 58 x 42 mm (2.30 x 1.65 inches) Full Throttle RPM Range 5000-6000 RPM HP Rating @ Propshaft 9.9HP @ 5500 RPM Induction Scavenging SOHC Valves per Cylinder 2 Fuel Delivery Single Venturi 15 HP Type 4-Stroke OHC Twin Cylinders Displacement 350 cc (21.4 cubic inches) Bore & Stroke 59 x 64 mm (2.30 x 2.51 inches) Full Throttle RPM Range 4500-5500 RPM HP Rating @ Propshaft 15HP @ 5000 RPM Induction Scavenging SOHC Valves per Cylinder 2 Fuel Delivery Single Venturi
  5. I have a pair and they are great. The one and a half weight otter boats float when a cable breaks, while the double weight ones sink. The performance of the one and a half is just as good as the double weight.
  6. They will do that to protect themselves against idiots who drive down dirt roads at 80 mph while the bracket hangs by one bolt and the kicker is not properly tied down. Heck, any beer can that comes flying out of the cab may hit the kicker and it may break away... But seriously If you have the bracket in fully upright position and you have the kicker strapped up against the transom so it does not shake and bounce and most important does not hit the roadbed while driving you should not have a problem. So I drive carefully and have everything strapped down and my kickers must have 10000 miles on the back of my boat,
  7. I just sent you a little print of your lower unit. This is just to make sure that you did get all the bolts. On the outer rim there are 4 bolts toward the front end (#66) and towards the rear there are 2 .(#68 and #70).these two are often allen bolts and sort of hidden . #70 is easily found,but for #68 you will have to remove #76 by unscrewing bolt #77. then you will find #68 hidden inside the trim tab area. (that last one is often forgotten. If that engine has been in salt water, then there may be a broken bolt somewhere. Do not try to drill it out until the lower unit is removed. Very often you will see a stub after the lower unit is removed and if you can get a vise grip on to the stub, they usually can be unscrewed after having applied penetrating oil and some heat. Make sure that the shift rod is not only disconnected from the top but also loose and if possible the gear in reverse. If I remember correct, I sent you a Youtube of the process. Let me know how things work out.
  8. I tried spray paint, but that only lasts a few weeks, Then I tried color coded insulation shrink wrap,that worked a bit better,then I experimented with nail polish that worked for a while.The problem with shrink wrap and nail polish is that you cannot just have a small dot of material. It has to be a few inches long or you will miss it as it goes past. The best material for copper and weighted steel that I found so far is the material that truck garages use to write info on the truck frame . (for filter installation dates and such) I think it comes in red white and blue. The drawback of that material is that it makes for small stiff sections of line.
  9. There is not a whole lot of room under that bridge make sure to keep your antenna and fishing rods down as you go underneath and stick to the west side of the channel after you have gone underneath. The east side always seems to fill up with sand.
  10. I agree with L&M. Because not all primer bulbs are made of the same quality. I find that specially in colder weather the primer bulbs get hard and not so good in pumping fuel over longer distances specially when they have to suck the fuel up to over the transom from a tank on the floor of the boat. I solved this problem by inserting two primer bulbs for the kicker. One about a foot past the water seperator on the bottom of the boat and the other on top of the transom where it is easily reached. Sometimes when the one on top of the transom does not get the fuel up I just lift up the doghouse and pump the other primer bulb. It always solves the fuel supply problem.
  11. That rain sensor comes in handy for the run of the mill late and drunk driving hick because it activates the wipers and helps remove puke from the window
  12. Going through my drawers I came upon an owners manual and a service manual for a 1973 2hp "Mate 2hp model 2302". in good shape for a 49 year old manual. And an original parts manual for a 1959 35 horse Johnson If anybody is interested, I'll let each go for $10 dollars a piece, you pay postage
  13. Been there done that. I solved the problem by checking flea markets and ebay. There are always some old rods with good guides. You can also replace the whole setup with carboloid (carbide) guides as Gator suggests, those are way better than what you have got on that ugly stick.
  14. Looks like badly burned fuel to me. But just to make sure, check your lower unit oil level and color. if it is milky or really low, you may have a problem there. More likely though you need some carburetor fine tuning.
  15. I think he supports one wannabe king who is drifting.
  16. No gas was ever pumped through the keystone pipeline because it was never finished. Besides the keystone pipeline was planned in order to pump Canadian shale oil to the refineries in the southern states with the intention of exporting it. If you want to point a finger at somebody you should point it at the oil companies who are as we speak exporting oil and gas to their clients abroad. Besides, if you look just a bit farther than your interest in hobbies, you might discover that Russia's Putin is attacking a country where many Americans have roots and family. So maybe we should swallow that hike in oil prices and see it as a way to support the war effort for freedom.
  17. Jimsky, The windmills that you are fighting are a lot bigger than the ones that Don Quichotte fought..... Sometime you just have to face the reality that there are not so many open water sport fisherman and our economic impact is miniscule. It sucks,but it is.
  18. So I’m just daydreaming about lures and the kevorkian popped up in my head. Does anybody have a picture? Not the doctor, but the lure.
  19. I run my weighted steel on convectors as well. Make sure that you have line counter reels. That way you have more depth control.
  20. If I were a landowner in that area I would absolutely refuse this offer. It takes away all rights the landowner has to remove unwanted characters. It would be a better idea to allow a few select fishermen to come and fish possibly for a fee. That way the owner has a choice as to who can fish on his land and he will know who littered and he can charge a cleanup fee. I mean , if there is a big rich company on the salmon river that does that, so can you.
  21. they will bring in the vespachio police
  22. Off Rochester they stage in and around 200 feet north west of the river when the kings start moving into the river, usually mid September.
  23. The country you think about is England. There is some dukedom there that as a tribute has to supply the crown with 2 stones weight of lamprey as a tribute once a year. (A stone is the weight of a balistra stone-12 pounds).
  24. There was a comment on slimers that accidentally was placed in a different thread. Here it is: srd 6 125 Location sparrowbush,ny. Home Port Fair Haven Boat Name Anchor Management Posted 9 hours ago I read a piece one time that in another country don't remember which country it was but they make pies and cakes from them.
