    Tach acting weird

    I installed a new teleflex Tach a few weeks ago. (I have an Evinrude 140 and an OMC control box.) It acts fine in the lower RPM ranges but when it gets up to WOT at maybe 4500-5500 something goes screwy and the needle goes to zero until the RPMs drop back down... then the needle comes back to...

    Boat Ramp Helpful Hints & Other Pet Peeves

    Trailer setup My two cents would be to make your trailer setup work for you. When I first bought my boat I had a hell of a time driving the boat on... in fact I resorted to guiding it on and winching it up. The trailer originally only had two bunks. I added two more bunks to the inside and...

    Teleflex controls

    Has anyone ever installed these controls? I have OMC controls now... What do you do with the ignition switch? My current controls also have the lever on top to open the throttle while starting. Any help or knowledge anyone has about this would be appreciated. I would like to replace what I have...

    I am good to go now... finally got a title for the trailer. It just took 5 months of waiting and research to get the trailer titled correctly. I could have always just titleded it "homemade" but wanted to do it right. Thanks to all who responded. I was agreeing with you all that it looked like a...

    I appreciate everyone that has helped so far. I am going to keep trying to dig up what trailer it is for a little longer.. probably the rest of the week. If I dont find out anything then I will go the homemade route. Thanks again for the tips!

    Any ideas on where to look for the number on the trailer?? I did a quick look and didnt have any luck. Its being painted isnt helping either.

    I know there isnt much of it to see in this picture but its all I have right now. Does anyone recognize this trailer? I bought the boat from a guy in nebraska, they dont have trailer titles. Now that I brought it back to Virginia I have to get a trailer title and I dont have anything on it...

    Damn, I wish this was around when I was looking for my checkmate. I would have to lose the tall windshield though and get more power.
