    powering a 192 Tournament

    My '86 190 Tournament had a 150 on it...would run 43-44 and cruise at 32-33. These models have a 20" transom...if you go searching for a used motor, keep that in mind.

    Disc Brake conversion

    That SS brake set from West Marine is probably made by Tie-Down. Do a search and you will see plenty of feedback. Generally speaking, most folks prefer Kodiak brakes. I'd check with Eastern Marine http://www.easternmarine.com They are good folks...

    Value of Swaping OB Engine

    What kind of estimates are you getting for the labor to do the swap?

    Value of Swaping OB Engine

    Do you have gauges, harnesses, prop, and controls for the Evinrude? All those things will need to be swapped out. Do they both have the proper shaft length? All things being considered, I wouldn't be opposed to hanging the e-tec on the back...it will make that boat a screamer....and - its...

    Mastlight for 22-6 seafearer

    Its a Perko part and it runs about $100 or so. Its also a custom piece and not typically listed in their catalog...the ones they show have the bend at the top, not at the bottom of the pole. Which, in my opinion, would probably work just as well....

    Flush Mount VHF on a 225?

    When I had my 205, I had the VHF mounted below the steering wheel, with a remote speaker next to the throttle. I wasn't crazy about the location, but I had a space problem on the dash as well. I went from a Icom 302 to a 422 and had to recut the hole. In an effort to get a cleaner look, I...

    Yamaha Fuel Management Gauge

    That $260 is probably for the gauge only. You also need the harness and sending unit, which if I recall is close to $200. That picture of wiring shown in the ad is for the wiring which connects the back of the guage to the engine harness.

    Opinion: Drawstring Cover vs Snap cover - Tournament 185

    Boat Covers Direct (http://www.boatcoversdirect.com) They have a variety of covers available...from canvas all the way to Sunbrella... It all depends on how big your wallet is. The sunbrella one is around $660 or so.

    Arm rest replacement

    Call GW and give them your HIN. There was a "recall"...GW will send you the replacements for free. They glue over the old ones and you can't tell the difference. I may have a set lying around in the garage and I'm also in Atlanta. If you want them, PM me and I'll get them to you.

    Opinion: Drawstring Cover vs Snap cover - Tournament 185

    You want as snug a fit as possible....I would go with snaps...that will keep the animals out and as much of the elements as possible. If a drawstring cover works loose, the wind will cause it to flap.... Make sure that charger has a timer on it so you don't boil your batteries.

    Best VHF?

    Look for something with a Class D DSC (not the SC-101)...the class D is a full separate receiver in the radio that monitors channel 70. Also, look for one that will input AND output NMEA info so you can send position info to your new plotter and have it show up on the screen. I have an ICOM...

    225 Tournament Electronics Box

    Are you going to remove the door and flush mount? If you are going that route, then a 10" (Garmin 3210 or Lowrance HDS-10) will fit. You may have to relocate you VHF though. I'd look hard at an 8" screen....if you do that, you can comfortably flush mount it and the VHF.

    When should one consider changing a Carb'd SWSII to Premix?

    Run it forever with the oil injection. The Yamaha system differs from the old OMC systems in that there is a tank under the cowling which feeds the motor. The remote tank in the boat feeds the tank under the cowling. In the unlikely event of a failure, you can always remove the cowling, fill...

    Humminbird 957, Raymarine A57D, Furuno fcv 620?

    If you decide to sell the 498 and go with one big combo unit (a 3206 or 3210 fits nicely in the 225 box), let me know....I've been looking for one. My spring project includes flush mounting my GPS, VHF and stereo....

    Boat Covers Direct

    I bought a cover from them a few years back....Sunbrella for a 208. It tore, I sent it back...they fixed it within a week and returned it. I'd use them again.

    Sirius XM radio

    No discounts yet....they still run two different billing systems, etc... Part of it has to do with the contracts they signed and the exclusivity rights....for example, you can get all NFL games on Sirius, but only the home feed on XM with best of Sirius package. All MLB on XM, but only...

    Ed's Marine Superstore

    The internet is an amazing thing... The 90 degree OMC V6 200 HP weighed 386 lbs. So, you are adding roughly 160 lbs to the transom if you go with the F150s. Whats interesting is a new Yamaha 2 stroke 150 (the largest 2 stroke still made - although I think you can probably find a 200...

    Yamaha 2 strokes

    I've got the same motor - albeit a 150. Other than a carb problem which was a bear to repair, they are great engines. Thirsty, but they run strong and start right up every time.

    Fuel tank replacement request - 1990 Tournament 19ft

    I had a late 80's 190 Tournament...the factory tank was made by RDS Marine Tanks of Perry FL. Check their website (http://www.rdsaluminum.com). They made the tank and shipped it to me by UPS in less than a week. Fit like a glove.
