Hi, I have a 14ft portabote.(getting the RV mounts put on tomorrow!) Looking into buying a handheld GPS that I can use in the boat and in the car Any...
Just a quick question for the mechanical/technical wizards out there. I'm seriously thinking of getting a 12' PB this year and am wondering if the 4 hp...
Have you looked in the archives for the powerhead question? There has been extensive questions about this in the past. I personally would not modify - kills...
One note: Probably want to place the 12-V battery towards the front of the boat (use some long jumper cables for this for example) to get some weight up-front...
After extensive research I purchased the Garmin 60CSx for both purposes. It is expensive. At the time (Christmas) I got mine for $313 that included a $50...
Good point - that is exactly how I rigged the boat. I spliced the cables to extend them all the way to the front, but I place the battery under the bow seat...
The motor differences have been discussed before. There is no easy modification to increase HP. The valve lift and timing is different between the three, so...
Found an interesting report on the net: http://sv-timemachine.net/?p=210#comments http://sv-timemachine.net/?p=169 The email exchange and comments are...
My husband weighs 225 - I want to buy a PB for him for our anniversary, but do not know which size. He loves to sail, too. Will that impact which one to get. I...
Hello, I use a Garmin GPSmap 276C which I like a lot. It moves easily between both the car and bote. The model is a couple of years old now and can be found...
Thanks for all the input. After talking with a friend who boats I found the solution to my woes. Seems that Suzuki offers outboards of 4 & 6 hp with both the...
Hey, Craig. We'll probably get down there next Sunday night, (the 11th), or early Monday. Maybe take in Disney on Tues. How far are you from Disney and in...
Has anyone had any experience with the Suzuki 2.5 hp 4 stroke outboard? It is light (30 lbs) like the Honda 2 but is water cooled and is much cheaper than the...
The newer oarlock sockets are much stronger and all have had nylon bushings from the start. No chance of corrosion and no "bump" in the hull. There is really...
hmmm...maybe my memory is failing me...thought I actually put an oar into one of the new style sockets on a friends bote...no bushing and it was a close fit,...
We're slowly but surely making progress with the new Porta-Bote Boarding ladder. The two movies below were recently taken in Florida. The man trying to capsize...
I have one. It is very cold blooded. (It is being cooled by 45 deg water). I have only run two tanks through it, so it really too early to tell. I went to buy...
If the movies were of a guy jumping up and down on the back end of a portabote, yes, I was able to view the movies yesterday. Just now (08:25 PST) checked, and...
I believe it depends on how many Porta Boters would like to see your new inventions at the same time. I tried a few times and was able to see one movie( the...
Thanks for the information. I hope it works better when it is broken in. Have you fiddled with the choke to get it to run better until warmed up? Right now,...
Worked for me. ________________________________ From: PortaBote@yahoogroups.com [mailto:PortaBote@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of portabot Sent: Sunday, March...
Thanks to all who have responded. Quite a few emailed me directly. This first test was made with a 14' Bote and no engine attached. We just wanted to see how...
