Bass Boat Accessories

I just bought a used 1990 sprint 266 bass boat with a 1990 Mercury 115 hp outboard motor (2-stroke).

A couple times when I have turned the key to the accessory position (where the electrical system is engaged but before the engine turns over), I get a high-pitched, sustained tone. Is this a warning tone? There are no warning lights on the instrument panel, so I am a little lost/concerned.

The noise can start when I first turn the key or when I begin to start the engine after drifting on the lake for a while. The engine seems to be running fine and the noise generally stops after a few minutes of driving.

Any ideas?

you have air bubbles in your oil line, the tone is to alert you of loss of oil to the engine..... if it is a stutter tone... not continous, its probably air bubbles in the remote oil tank and they are getting into your oil line... a steady tone indicates loss of oil flow completely to the engine.. STOP if it does that.
Once i took the wrong cap off my oil tank and plled the one off that had the oil hoses in it, and got air in my lines, man it took forever to get all that air out. There is a air bleeder screw on the side of the engine where the oil line connects, that can be used to bleed the air off while the engine is running.
Easiest thing for me was to add some oil to the gas tank so i wouldnt damage the engine, then i ran the boat down the lake at about 2/3 throttle for about 10 miles and finally enough oil was pushed the lines to get rid of all the air.

Good luck man, i know what a headache these types of issues are on a boat.

We were out filming Greg in his boat when he hit the wave behind the boat at the wrong angle and too fast. Boat speed was around 70 mph. Greg&#39 ...

I wrote checks to pay our utilities a couple weeks ago and 2 checks bounced. My husband doesn't want me to work, so I have been taking college courses online ( my parents paying for). My husband works in the mine and makes plenty enough money to support us. We have no kids. I use birthcontrol as I am not ready to have a child yet...at least with him at this point. Within the past year or so, he has purchased a lift kit and other accessories for his truck, purchased a new 4 wheeler (ATV), a bigger motor for his bass boat (200hp!!!) and plenty of other guy stuff. The garage he built a couple years back is twice and big and cost twice as much as our trailer.

I've tried to discuss not spending so much money, but he doesn't really do anything about it. Mostly, I get a "I hear ya babydoll". My gynecologist has told me that I am the most beautiful patient he has. I know he has a" thing " for me, but to date, I have not encouraged him. I have had enough of my husband. Right?
FYI...my doctor is single and very handsome. I just don't think my husband will ever become responsible.
We got married after highschool. I want a college degree. That is a goal of mine. It means alot to me personally...and to my family. I am aware, trust me, very aware (painfully at times) that men find me attractive.
He spends the money on himself because he likes to brag and show off to his friends. It's almost every evening after work and weekends too.
I have not, nor will I ever cheat on my husband. However, I am considering a divorce.

What? I'm sure he says it to all of his patients. Maybe he likes the way your ***** looks. I would make sure your gyno doesnt have a hidden camera somewhere else. I would say the bills arent a big problem..i mean they are.but you could have worse problems with him. What is the point of taking college courses online if you wont be able to get a job..if he doesnt want you to work? Tell him you are going to get a job (if you want) and make money so the checks won't bounce. Sometimes, if women want something done right, they have to do it for themselves.

I just got a 1999 Javelin 379DC bass boat from my grandfather and have changed out all the batteries. The trolling motor is now working so that is good to go. However, even though I have a brand new starter battery, I can get any power to the engine. When I turn the key there is nothing not even a noise. The other reason I know im not getting power to the engine is because the trim wont work on either the shifter or on the engine itself. Also...all accessories work such as the horn lights, etc...but none of the gauges will move either.

If anyone has an idea as to what this is I would greatly appreciate it.

Have you checked to be sure the lanyard switch is on?If yes check the fuses on the engine.I'm sure you will find that one of these two things are you problem.Hope this helps.

1. Will quagga or zebra mussels attach to a float tube while you're kicking around in it?
2. Has a fish ever pulled you around in one?
3. Whats your biggest fish out of a float tube?
4. Am I annoying you with all these questions?

I have been using tubes for years. started with an old canvas model l bought at a swap meet for 3 bucks. tried earlier building one but gave up on the project.

1. Who makes the best float tube?
A. used to be wood river but they are now out of business. check "outcast" tubes. right up there.

2. Who makes the shittiest float tube?
A. l bought 2 "stearns" tubes at kmart. cheesiest crap l've found.

3. What are good brands of float tubes?
A. caddis, browning, outcast. all those sold by bass pro and cabelas are decent.

4. What's a good price for a good tube?
A. expect to pay $150 minimum for a good sturdy one.

5. What kind of accessories are available?
A. you name it. rod holders, depth finders, even electric motor mounts.

6. Do they come with an air pump and fins?
A. usually purchased separately.

7. Do they come with anchors?
A. usually purchased separately.

8. Do they inflate easily?
A. yes with a good hand pump made especially for the job. electrics also but be careful of over-inflation.

9. Do they deflate easily?
A. pretty much. yeah, if they have the over-sized valves.

10. Can one be stored in the back of a car or pick up while its inflated?
A. let some air out when storing anywhere. the air WILL expand and they WILL rupture. even sitting in the sun. gotta check 'em constantly.

11. Do they puncture easy?
A. some absolutely do. most for that matter. get one with a 1000 cordura denier bottom or other heavy material. if you are using a round one with a regular innertube, use a heavy oversized truck tube and keep a repair kit handy. fish can stick them with their dorsal fins. had a bass on a stringer do that once. wondered where the hissing noise was coming from. found out. a nice row of little pinpricks.

12. Are float tubes safe?
A. very. you have a very low center of gravity in them. impossible to tip. wear blaze orange for the boats. you want to be SEEN. l have fished in the ocean and local harbors from my tubes. l'm still here. l can't stress enough. you have to BE VISIBLE.

13. Are they reliable?
A. a good one, yes. one you blow up with your mouth, stay away from.

14. Are they comfortable?
A. very. better'n the big chair in front of the TV.

15. Are they fun to use?
A. ABSOLUTELY. l cannot state just how much fun they are. good exercise too.


Please help. I have a $500 budget. That includes float tube and accessories.
