As much as I tried to avoid it. I got one. Found a smoking deal on a brand new boat motor combo. Having been told I am staying put and not deploying to AFG again, I got a 2006 MB with 8 hours on it, and a brand new Lowe 1760 roughneck. Yep - 8hours on the motor. Hex prop 11x10 is brand new - big blade already in the mail. boat needs to be completely rigged - lights, bilge, 12v receptacle etc... Reviews to follow once I get it kitted out. Heres a pic. |

Rock guard on the skeg 8 hours comes from 1 tank of gas through the boat in 6 years. Guy bought it in 2011 brand new - used it twice. Then he winterized it and left it in his garage. For me to find! |

^^^ Ft Irwin - someone is ramping up for a deployment? Buzz did the motor come with the manuals so you can do the recommended service on the motor with the right stuff? |

It did. Already contacted MB and then got my compression tester out . Going to zerk the shaft eventually but for a comprehensive go over - - oil - filter -plugs - grease shaft and all zerks -check belt tension -tighten all bolts -clean carb - run new fuel through it for nlt 30 minutes to see how it runs - tighten bolts on transom - change fuel filter - prior to running - check seals- seem great - check shaft - drink a beer - prep boat for rigging. Already started drilling holes. |

Motor is in pretty good shape. Did about 90% of what I wanted. How the heck do you loosen and tighten the bolts behind the clutch? Crows foot didnt even work. |

The crows foot worked fine (and was how I saw it done in the video I watched). Wasnt exactly easy, though |

sometimes I sacrifice a cheap wrench - heat it up and bend/cut/shape into a "special purpose" wrench - would making special purpose wrench help? |

The story continues, Made it out on the water today. COLD But opn water is open water. I had to be fast as an ice shelf broke from a nearby island and would be at the ramp within the hour. Put the back of the boat in the water to see if it had any issues with coils - as I've had in the past AFTER I launched. Ran it to see how it handled a bit of resistance from the water - no issues so i launched. Puttered along to get a feel for it then clamped the throttle. Wow. From a 27 PD to a 35 MB. Got on step fast. Played with the trim to find the deep water sweet spot. Got it dialed in. Ran deep for 10 minutes WOT took a corner and it happened.....sputter....prop stops.....wtf?.... Engine shut off? Gas issues? Nope.... When turning the clutch button touched my coat and disengaged the clutch....motor was still on =) could hardly hear it the wind was howling. Engage and off I run again towards the shallows. To the shallows I go. 2ft was as shallow as I could find with all the flooding we've had. Care to guess the speeds both shallow and deep? Load was me, spare tire, and deep cell. Stock prop. 2006 MB - not the BB its a 10x11. Scroll down for answers Speeds: Deep @3990/4000 rpm was 22.5mph Shallow @4000rpm was 24mph Nothing stellar I know, but for a 715lb boat I was delighted with those speeds. Because with a full hunt load and 3 guys I should be able to see 18-20mph with a BB. Which is EXACTLY what I want. I think the BB will add a bit but my motor was pinned and almost seemed like it was hitting the limiter. Although I believe the limiter is at 4300 rpm? More to follow. Thanks for reading. Happy easter guys =) |
