My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that. If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh… -

I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything... -
Congrats on the motor! I think you’ll like it. I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers. 160 degrees is more than I expected to hear. Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor. Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this. -
You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away. -

Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

Question
JohnMickish
The boat is a 1997 Pro V and the motor is a 1997 Johnson 115 Fastrike. The issue I have is after running from the landing to the fishing spot and sitting there for 30-45 minutes, restarting the motor turnes into a start/die, start/die situation until you reprime the motor. The primer bulb goes soft sitting there for that little while. The motor starts and runs fine cold.
I changed the primer bulb and fuel inlet hose earlier in the year and that didn't help anything.
I don't know if this a related issue or not but after the motor is started (restarted after it's warm) you kind of have to baby it get into any throttle above idle. It kind of acts like a (I am really dating myself here) like back in the day when vehicles had carburetors and the accelorator pump was bad. The motor runs great at WOT once you get there and after you get thru the off idle issue it pulls real strong.
Can any of you 2 stroke masters figure this out?
By the way, the gas is good and has sea foam in it, compression is within 3 psi of each other.
