Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda
I can't wait to have mine fixed and back in the water, I'd have taken her out yesterday even though it was 39 degrees here but I wouldn't have cared.

Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda
it was 55* & sunny with slight northerly breeze, so we loaded up & trolled for about 30 minutes, then found a spot out of the wind and enjoyed the sun . I also listened to LSU basketball, ate vienna sausage w/ crystal hot sauce & read a Randy Wayne White book.

Sorry about your luck chuck!!
Hey 2 more post and I hit the 100 mark, Now comes the decision: When I post #99 then do I post some undeserving bull #hit for #100 or do I make it worth while so it adds something educational to the site, or post some pic of the hottest babe I can find, or something dealing with the effects of adult beverages or my favorite PORN!! Do we want to take a survey? |
Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda
I have been posting useless crap my whole time on this board, I highly recommend it.

That is educational, isn't it? What about your favorite sex toys, like HAMMER's swing. |
Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda
Yes, I have learned much here... 8) ...

Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda
Well I ended up posting hopefully useful information for my 100, but now I know what's expected then I'll post some of my useless thoughts, born in a sick mind cluttered with guilt of having to work inlieu of broading my experiences of fishing techniques amassed while in a state clouded with the effects of adult beverages.

Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda
OK guys,
went fishing today http://home.cfl.rr.com/jackman1939/DSC00002.JPG put 55 miles on the boat - 19.5 gallons of gas = 2.8 mpg - most of the travel was 43 mph 5000 rpm = 43 mph 5500 = 46 WOT 14.5X19 SS prop full tank of gas - 2 people (~430 lbs) The E-TEC is quieter than the Honda Starts instantly (every time). Love the motor. |
Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda
Jack...ya'll havin' TOO much fun down there!!... ;D ...great pix and thank for the numbers!!... ;) ...

Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda
Hi Guys,
I'm back. Have been enjoying my rig! Need some help with something: I'm smelling some gas fumes in my boat. Looked at the top of the gas tank (where the fuel gauge sensor goes into it) - nothing leaking there. Peeked around other places, but could not pinpoint anything. Any ideas? thanks |
Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda
Is the smell constant or do you just smell it after the tank is full?
|
Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda
I just replaced the gas fill hose on mine, it got rid of the gas smell. If you have original hoses, thats probably it.
I just hope it aint the tank leaking. |
Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda
I get heavy gas fumes for the first hour after filling tank , the vent is in arms reach of helm the dually dosent have that side windshield to block the wind while moving
|
Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda
mix some food coloring( make sure its coloring only, no sugar) with 1 gal of gas(use green or blue, red is hard to track in a boat, too close to fiberglass resin color) pur it into the tank and see if *and where it shows up, you can buy some florecent coloring that shows up with a black light
|
Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda
Fumes huh ??? ... sounds like a dangerous situation ... I recommend you remove the E-Tec and send it to me ASAP!!...
No kiddin'...is it after filling?...do you fill to top? ...tanks topped-off can many times overflow their vents due to cold gas from ground tank EXPANDING as the gas heats up ...specially in the FL sunshine... Check hoses for deterioration, connections for loose fit ... and if Spare's suggestion about the food coloring doesn't yield results, find a shop that can do a pressure leak-down test on your tank...keep us posted on how it goes ;) ... |
Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda
Thanks for the tips guys.
The last time I went out, and returned, I did not fill 'er up all the way (maybe 5 gallons short). Have not smelled the fumes. The E-Tec runs great !! |
