Wrench do you have a brass magnet?...lol...switch boxes changed..inner to outer and outer to inner.. time to pull it out of garage to around back and get wet...lol

I don't see a shift interrupt switch on it, i'll unhook regulators and recheck it to see if it changes the voltage on that one lug also. thanks

Stabilizer and advance module is gone..i took them off the other day.

Motor has new CDI regulators, all 6 new coils and plug wires and a new i think CDI stator..previous owner said they had been chasing a dogging out of the hole problem, well it not only bogs out of the hole but once it does take off it just bogs right back out, had up to 63 mph and it just dump on me...lol..still had old original switch boxes..i had already ordered new ones figured it wounldn't hurt. Oh and the tach dropped out just before it shut down, may be just coincident.

Nice fishes Quill and thanks for report..

Yup i agree, the outer switch box is bad which control 2 4 6 cyl which is the side i had troubles with..i have also removed idle stabilizer and detonation box ...2 new switch boxes ordered...Thank you.. this is on my new ride took it out Sunday and it fell flat on its face, then it would run for about 2 minutes then back down to 2000 rpm or something like that...1995 Merc 200 xri fuel injected.

I haven't even been on the water this summer,well i was Sunday afternoon but not fishing.

I was at Big M Sunday afternoon and the where several wake boats running, wasn't there to fish just to run new to me boat which didn't go well.

Congrats to the winners, but if it wasn't for us losers you would not be winners..lmao...J/K

Thanks for report Quill!!

I have seen that happen, not in this state but another state i lived. They said that the person did not have commercial vehicle insurance and this happened many years ago. I probably should have worded it different, i should of put they could possible tell you to pound sand..... I would be checking with my insurance company about it.

Thanks for report RPS...I just moved everything over from my 176 to my 190 and didn't even put the landing net in boat, i don't catch any anyway...lol

47lbs 12 1/2 ounces

I so far down the list i would need a backhoe to dig myself out...lol

Happy Birthday Phil!!!

So you tow there boat with your truck...i hope you don't get in an accident cause your insurance company will tell you to go pound sand...so then who pays for damages ...

Price drop..pulled new sonars out but have helix 5 gps and lowrance LMB 520 gps and couple others..need gone other boat almost ready to go.

Thanks for report Quillback!!!..im glad to hear that BigM is still there...

I think top 10 would be good...might be easier dividing up the prizes better.

When i lived in Florida(actually born and raised) every so many years the red tide would come in the Gulf of Mexico and kill of thousands of fish. It seemed to kill more of one type fish over the other. The fresh water lakes and such where having kill off problems due to all the housing around the lakes and such with fertilizer polluting the water and killing fish or making vegetation grow and choking out the lakes and of coarse algae growth was an issue also.
