well, looks like I'm down....

[Randy Stinchcomb]

....tried fixxing my outboard problems on my own. changed the fuel filter, fuel/water seperator filter, new plugs(correctly indexed) and some fuel additive, checked all the fuses and relays. got it running for @ 2 mins on the trailer in the driveway and it started sputtering and stalled and would not re-start. Im thinking it's one of the fuel pumps or the ECM, atleast its all still under warranty, sooo back to Jenkins Marine it goes hope its fixxed before vacation in August

Man, that sucks. At Least its still under warranty.

Did you try replacing the outboard engine? Bet that would do it

yup, been down that road before. got brochures here on just about all small boat manufactors. ie: Cobia, Triton, Sea Pro, Mako, Whaler, Triumph, Pro Line, GW, Sea Fox, Sea Boss and more. right now it's between the Pro Line and the Triton, untill I go look at this Scout

I know but I may not have a choice as Brunswick(who owns Merc) has bought-up dozens of small (and large) boat companys in the last year and making Mercs mandatory now only 1 dealer I've found will-do the Evinrudes and a few still offer Yammy power:( and that Merc Verado is starting to look sweet but christ is that power-head huge

[mdram]

man for me having to have a merc would be a deal killer.

here ya go

I know, I know but what can 'ya do, they (brunswick) are flooding up the market my brother swears by his 4 stroke Yammy and if I must chose, Cobia makes a very nice 22' c/c and is only powered by Yammys since Yamaha owns Cobia now

[mdram]

i had a 2stroke yammy on my last boat, got it to replace the anchor (merc) that died. loved that engine! also like the 4str suzuki a friend has

[Randy Stinchcomb]

well just got off the fone wth Jenkins, seems there booked and can't look at my boat till the 19th of July
