    About Site Donations

    I inherited this site from Macojoe 3 years ago. Since then I've not changed the details in the Donate button link to reflect my paypal account. When I got the site I just wanted to keep it running. I went through a ton of crap to get the server moved to a new host. The biggest issue is our...

    Memorial Weekend 2020 Fishing Report 5/22 - 5/24

    Headed down to Surfside Beach SC on Wednesday 5/20 for a few days with the family, relaxing and fishing out of Murrell's Inlet. Did not get to launch the boat or fish on Thursday 5/21 due to thunder boomers and showers lingering around the area. It was strictly a drinking and planning day -...

    Electronics - FF and GPS

    It looks like I'm in the market for new electronics. I've ran the Garmin 172C GPS for a little over 15 years and really liked it. For FF I've been using a Garmin 250 DC. I chose to go with separate units in the event of failure of one or the other I'd still be able to use either or...

    Cuts off at idle (video of offending motor included)

    Finally got off my @ss and cleaned/rebuilt the carbs on my 2 stroke yamaha 150. Did not replace floats. By cleaning, I mean carb cleaner and compressed air. Anyhow, she's still misbehaving. Before and after carb work the motor runs strong entire spectrum. Problem is it cuts off frequently...

    Yamaha 150 carbed idle issue

    Ferm/Spare - anybody. 2004 with around ~1200 hours. Runs out perfect at all RPMs except at idle (600 rpms) it runs fine overall, just occassionally coughs, but keeps running except sometimes cuts off. It cut off with me probably 20 times over the course of a day. Seems to be worse when...

    Spark plugs Yamaha 150 carbed

    Here is the story. With saltwater use I like to change the plugs in my 2004 Yamaha 150 every year. Well, I went to buy plugs this year and got the number off one plug so I could buy the new ones. NGK BR8HS-10. So I bought 6 BR8HS-10 plugs. Got home, went to replace them and realized I had 1...

    V20 Team, here is where we are currently: Talked to the current host, yodaddy, great guy. Working on a solution. Note that there could be an interruption when we move. It could result in loss of data, but if it does it should be minimal, possibly ~1 weeks worth of updates? Will make...

    Murrells Inlet Fishing Report 10/29 - 10/30

    Fished a couple days out of Murrells Inlet SC this past weekend with my good buddy Sparky. We had a fun time. Spent over 20 hours on the boat, burned nearly 200 gallons of fuel and covered over 250 miles on the water in the V21. A lot of work and just enough time at the end of each day to...

    tractor seat base = suspension = happier back!

    After blowing out my back on the memorial day trip I decided something has to change. So I ended up buying a tractor seat for $99 at my local tractor supply. I had to drill a couple extra holes in my existing seat base to mount my own captain chair to the tractor seat base (did not use the...

    Yamaha F20 4 stroke tiller

    Posting this for a friend who is having a problem. He says the motor runs but won't run full throttle. Says nothing abnormal when running on the garden hose, but won't go full throttle on the water. It is not much but that's about all I know. He changed the plugs and says the throttle...

    Murrell's Inlet Fishing Report - May 26

    Day 1 left the dock around 4:30 am with my buddy and my daughter. Eased on out under a bright moon and welcomed a nice sunrise half way out to the break around 65 miles from the rocks. The plan was to troll until noon then drop back in to a spot in 120ft to bottom fish. Trolling was slow but...

    V21 Fuel Tank Removal - questions

    Back story - I have an occasional fuel restriction that sucks my primer ball flat. This happens intermittently maybe 1 - 2 times per year. The restriction is between the h2o separator and the fuel pickup inside the tank. I believe there is some debris inside the tank...possibly a plastic...

    3-way fuel valve HELP

    I bought an additional above deck tank to fit under my bench seat. I bought a brass 3 way valve online. Hooked it all up - when I turn the selector know it spews fuel from the selector stem! So I got a refund, bought another brand at the local marine store. Hooked it all up - same sh!t...

    Replacing V21 fuel lines

    So, this isn't my pic, but it is a very helpful pic posted by Destroyer (thanks D)when he replaced his V21 deck. You can see the fuel line running from the pickup at the front of the tank. There are cutouts in the bulkheads routing to the rear of the boat. If you look closely, you see the...

    I'm looking at replacing the fuel lines from tank to fuel separator, fuel separator to primer bulb...Anybody tell me what size lines? I know it needs to be A1 rated for below deck installation. I was thinking 3/8 dia all the way around. Pretty sure that's whats in it now. Looking at 25ft...
