    How long is a Enticer? Can't tell from pictures but they look just like a Predictor which is about 16' I think.

    " For Sale" 1984 Enchanter w/Merc 2.4 200 Completely Original

    A beautiful boat... looks alot like a Predictor but bigger I guess ( I'm new to the Checkmate boats). Would be interested in how the bottom stand-offs for the swim ladder are fastened to the transom. Are they screwed or through-bolted? I want to put a swim ladder on a Predictor but don't see...

    Johnson 115 impellar change

    Just thought I'd post a status for anyone wondering how this thread turned out. I couldn't even figure out how to disconnect the shift rod in the engine area which according to the book is the first step. Their picture didn't help a bit... couldn't tell a thing from that. To make a long story...

    Predictor amp meter question

    Well were at the marina tonight, boat in water. Still reading about 12 volts with engine running (volt meter). Checked battery and it's 14 plus. The only other things abnormal is the weird volt meter reading comes and goes... that is sometimes turning on the lights kills the meter reading and...

    Predictor amp meter question

    Big Red... just checked and it is a volt meter. Now today with boat in garage and motor not running I turned the key on and then turned on the nav lights and there was a slight drop in volt reading but it did not drop the needle off the scale as it did last weekend while driving. Someone else...

    Predictor amp meter question

    Big Red... good question, I'll have to look closer when I get in the boat again. Bein and "old fart" we just always refered to the gage that indicated rate of charge as an "amp meter".

    Predictor amp meter question

    Recently had occation to use the nav lights on my 1980 Predictor which I just purchased. The amp meter reads 10 -12 amps when running without nav lights but the needle disappears off the low end when lights are turned on. This can't be normal can it? Power is a 115 Johnson of same age as boat...

    Johnson 115 impellar change

    Well I'm still trying to get my head around this impellar change job and before I even get the parts I ordered the lower unit has started leaking oil on the garage floor. Had it for two weeks now and all of a sudden out of the blue sitting in the garage it starts to leak. I'm thinking I may be...

    Johnson 115 impellar change

    good point Nebs but as far as I know it's always been a Michigan boat. Gotta get some washers for the fill/drain plugs before I can proceed. Hate to just order 2 small gaskets... maybe I'll order some new plug wires at the same time if I can find the correct ones on the web... wanted to change...
