    Killer wave

    It was a full tube and “gallons” was just being generous. The whole inertia shift and kill still has me puzzled.

    Killer wave

    Thanks for the help. My restarts were near 100. Good starter motor for sure. I was wondering if water slosh in the clean out compartment could short out the switch? I had gallons of water back there when i got back

    Killer wave

    Thanks. I wiggled the kill switch and pulled up on the rear hatch and could not get it to kill. It felt more fuelish than electrical. Pulling the kill switch and lifting the hatch create almost instant events. This was a bog to death as we stuffed a wave at only 4-5mph.

    Killer wave

    Question for the jet navy: has anyone experienced engine stalling when hitting waves? I had 3/4 tank of fuel headed into 2-3’ swells. Tried to stay on plane and keep the bow from getting stuffed. Left the water a few times. Kid loved it, wife not so much. Half hour of this and motor died. Fired...

    Safety of no props case and point

    Glad it was the best ending to a worst case scenario. I'd rather suck up 1000 ropes than injure 1 person. Propless for life.

    Adding additional trailer bunks

    Lighted 60" Guide poles really helped stop the same problem I had with crooked ramps or nasty current at the launch. And helped backing up the empty trailer much easier to see

    Anyone else is Destin this week?

    Golden nugget right there!

    Anyone else is Destin this week?

    Coheeba, nothing like a new revenue $tream to get the local political class involved. I did have to emergency rescue 3 people on Monday. 2 were drunk drifting out to Cuba and 1 was trying to rescue another drunk when he underestimated the current himself. It can be kid friendly if you anchor...

    Colorado Diesel

    Finally traded my ‘09 Jeep Rubicon in on a new Chevy Colorado Diesel Z71 4x4. The jeep was fun but sucked at pulling the Fsh190. Between the 3.6L mini-van motor and the 35” MTR’s even with 4.10 gears and the 6spd it could barely get out of its way. Forget going up a bridge in anything less than...

    Looking on taking the plunge

    Do it Newflat! I’ve had my 190 since May ‘16 and love it. Great little boat for the buck. Perfect at nothing but good for everything. Insaley cheap for what it offers. Don’t listen to Clemson, he’s like the ex-wife around here, always negative, angry and bitter. If you think this little boat...

    One picture of your last outing.

    Destin inlet

    Anyone else is Destin this week?

    Think Cocktail Cove without the cove. Its basically a triangular sand bar where the inlet channel spills into the bay. Only 1.5-3’ deep over roughly 10 acres. Anchor up and make it happen Captain. They have floating bars, grills, dance floors and obstacle courses for the kids. The ice cream...

    FSH21 front fishing platform!

    Looks awesome!

    Anyone else is Destin this week?

    Here for 8yr old world series all week. Saw another fsh190 on a trailer and a ton of ski boats near crab island. The current was ripping! The fishing was not as good as previous trips.

    FSH 190 Anchor locker hinge screws ripped out.

    Same here. First time off shore in swells the anchor hatch was flopping around on 1 hinge. Thru bolted with stainless nylocks. Aint moved since.

    Removable Anchor Hatch

    How secure will it be in tension? I had a hinge pull and fail after a quick trip in 3’ seas.

    FSH 190 Won't Start - (Engine turns over)

    Pop the air cleaner cover open and spray some starting fluid while she turns over. That should confirm your spark vs fuel issues pretty quick.

    Baldwin County, AL / Mobile Bay Area - FSH 190

    Ben C i fish those waters about once a month. Bon Secour, Wolf Bay, Little Lagoon, Ono Reef, Mobile Bay and the rear shore rigs on calm days. That little boat is great for your area. I use SaltAway to flush the engine and trailer. Almost 2 years on the 190 and she still looks new. I’ll be...
