Hi,
I own many nitro cars/trucks. I never owned a boat. On an impulse, I bought a boat from ebay. The hull is fiberglass, and the length is about 27 inches. It has the 3.5 K&B outboard, and is like new. I was wondering if anyone could identify the manufacturer and model.
It does need some tweaking, the servo horn is not long enough to open the throttle over half way. Also, if you try to turn it to the left at all, the throttle cable gets yanked.
Okay, now some dumb questions.
What fuel should I use? (I was told not to run my O'donnel 20%)
How do you fill with foam? (without overfilling!)
How do you know what prop to use? (currently octura x438)
Do all outboards use a large fuel tank, with a small inline bottle, before going back to the engine? (I'll post a pic if I confused you)
Where is a good online place for parts, such as a throttle cable setup? My LHS don't carry boats, so I'm on my own.
Thanks for any help!
