    I have a 99 90hp, when I first got it I brought it in for the 10 or 50 hr. ceekup and they installed some new updates, well it started to miss so I called the factory and asked who is the best mechanic within 2 states, they told me nelson marine in white bear, I took it in and he told me the new updates were ok, but he reinstalled the old program and it has run like a watch ever since.As far as the carbon,even my new 150 yamaha, you have to do the same thing, put carbonguard in the gas and clean or change the plugs, and at the endof year I put omc engine tuner in the spark plug holes overnite let it run for 15 to20 min. the next day and it cleans all the carbon up.You have to remember this new motors demand new thinking and upkeep, because they are far better than the old motors, my 90 burns about as much gas as a old 20hp. I would call nelson marine and talk to them, there are not that many good mechanics for these new moters yet, but it’s getting better as time goes on.Hope this helps a little.

    Hi The only thing I can see is you are still putting the presure on the transom instead of the trailer.Any other opinions?

    Hi I have a Kodak DX3500, the cheapest one I think, under $3oo. It works just fine,I have what they call a camera dock for it, charges and push one button and it`s in the computer. It`s all in how much you want to spend,Ishot a sunrise and printed it on 8×10 glossy paper and it came out perfect. Go to wallmart home page and you can read all about them and what each one does.And of course you get the software to program your computer also.Hope this helps

    I have a 99 ficht 90 hp. on a 16 mr. pike and love it. I can run from the dam to the lake twice and not burn 1/4 tank of gas.I only have a 18 gal. tank.It has the pickup and speed of a 2 stroke and the great gas mileage of a 4 stroke. Personaly I would’nt have a straight 2 stroke if it was free, and I have had a lot of them, and they all run just fine. The new ones are the best of all worlds. Just my thoughts.

    After all these years I think it’s ok to say, I took her to the prom,like a woman with big lips. It looks like a white sturgon, I used to catch out in washington, we could only keep them under 6 feet, so once in a while I had to cut a little of the tail off.

    Hi Could you tell me are you useing any bait on the ring worms, or rigging them a certain way?. I was also up at the dam, if I never caught a fish it would be fun just to watch the people and how they operate. I was useing worms,trying to use them up,maybe not the best bait.Although I did get a few up in 12′

    Hi Well look at this, I give a little advice and all the dogs come off the porch. As Ithink about it that 60hp. Ihad was about 6 or 7 years ago, and the motor was a year or two old. I sure they have more power now, but they are talking about 70 to115 hp., a world of differance from a 50, but I think they are right. I get a magazine called Bass & Walleye Boats, these are the real pros, they test all size motors head to head, and give reports on all of them. I think you can call and order back issues on the size motors you are lookingat. There phone is 310-537-6322 ext.128 Maybe this will get the dogs back up on the porch. Ha Ha.

    On the smaller motors I would not buy a 4 stroke they have no power, but a 2 stroke will go, they burn a little more gas but are well worth it.I have had 60hp. motors and they move and I have had a 4 stroke 60hp.and sold it the next week.This of course is my point of view. Good luck
