Sorry all if I was not clear, they did not steal the radome on top of the boat, I still have that. What they stole was the monitor/electronics. I was just curious if the radome provides a fairly standard radar input via the wires so that if I bought a new monitor/electronics I would be able to...

Hello all, someone broke in and stole my radar head unit for my Si-Tex radar. The unit was kinda old I think Si-Tex Model: NKE-1066. Don't know what the hell someone is going to be able to do with just the head unit? Question is now what to do. I didn't really every use the radar much, so...

Luckily my Cーdory rode out the storm fine parked at our in my driveway. Good thing I pulled it too because our marina did not fair very well at all where my boat was parked had a big boat sink and the docks are totally destroyed. I have my carbs all taken apart so I decided might as well pull...

Well whatever these idiots who worked on my motor did, they really messed it up. I used it maybe 10 times this summer, all the time never getting enough rpm or as much speed as I should, not running great, went out today and it is just pouring fuel out somewhere around the top carburetor...

What is your speed at 5500. I went out today with him again for a test ride, downwind on a flat day and the throttle mashed all the way forward it hit 5200 and maybe 22 knots, but that's all she had... he suggested using Ring Free, I guess it is something to knock off carbon build up. Only...

I don't remember the compression numbers but I think he said something like 128 130?? But he checked the throttle cables, and took the carbs apart, check the spark on the plugs, checked the fuel flow to the carbs and said he check the compression and said it was all within specs. Said to check...

I don't think he works on a lot of Hondas they don't seem as popular where I am at. NW Florida/Destin area, does anyone know any Honda specific service shops in the Destin area.... just hate to start all over with someone else and possibly have them spend more money/time working on it. Kind of...

I know this is an old thread but it applied to my situation so I was wondering if you all came up with any answers. I recently had some folks do 500 hr maintenance and am having similar problems. At WOT, lever smashed all the way forward, I am barely getting 5000 RPM and maybe 19-20 knots...

So I am having some issues with the folks I took my engine to and wanted to see if what they are telling me is correct. I pulled the boat last fall for shoulder surgery and left it out for several months. While it was out I had someone do some maintenance (500 hours) general checking all the...

So I went out again today, and it continued to die. This time it died and then would not crank over at all... then a bit later it started up again... I am now starting to suspect electrical. Talked to the guys who worked on it and they said maybe the connections on the motor are loose, said it...

Thanks all for your words of encouragement. Took my son out today, it was beautiful and perfectly flat, we didn't catch anything but pin fish and hardheads, but it was a beautiful day out. I still keep having engine die problems. Was cruising along at WOT and the whole thing just stopped. It...

Thanks I will work on keeping the nose down more, didn't really mess with the trim tabs, played with trimming the engine. Also, had a full tank of both fuel so more weight in the back than usual. I have tried trolling in the bay here but I never caught anything or seen anyone catch, but...
