Re: Honda Tachometer issue !
Hi All ! Went on to diagnose this issue and found the contacts for the engine cycle and calibration pot were slightly corroded. cleaned both with electrical cleaner and put the tack back in and adjusted it to actual engine speed. All set....... If anyone has this issue you may be able to get away by...

Re: Boga Grip
Hi All ! I am well aware of how the Bogo Grip works. If my post was read carefully it reads I owned a Boga grip and I sold it after I discovered the lipper. It is much easier to use and quicker that is exactly why I switched. If it was not that way I would still have my Boga.... The 60 pound Lipper ...

Re: Boga Grip
Hi All ! Yes the lipper is all stainless and mine is 4 years old and its seen many a dive session with just a rinse off. I liked my Bogo but you had to close the jaws yourself and the Lipper is spring loaded so when you get one half of the jaws in the fishes mouth , you just pusg the button and the ...

Re: Honda Tachometer issue !
Mac: I believe you are correct. I have fished around some and one tech told me the Honda tachs have a calibration screw inside that is adjusted to various engine sizes. Move it from its original position then return it to it original position and retest. Its no big deal. The engine run perfect , jus...

Honda Tachometer issue !
Hi All ! Thought I would post this to see if anyone has anyone had a problem like this. This past weekend I started to notice that my Tach was reading higher than the engine was actually turning. It was reading about 1000 RPM at idle and 7000 RPM at WOT throttle when the engine should have hit the r...

Re: Boga Grip
Welder: Save your money and go with a Lipper ! Features automatic release, 60Lb calibrated scale and a very nice leather sheath. Quality is just as good as the Boga and half the cost. I had a Boga and after using the Lipper I sold the Boga on Ebay. Much easier to use and much less money with better ...

Hi All ! Glad I could point you in the correct direction. The Surfix slides work great and the hull slides off and on easily too.

Re: Pacific Repairs & Modifications

I don't know where it is, maybe Welder can find it, but in short is the creation of a very large battery. You have the hull, the trailer and the wet bunk as acid. The bunk being soaked...
