I have a 2000 17ft Skeeter Aluminum with a 75HP Mercury 2 stroke. I have occasional problems starting the engine. A few weeks back I was trying to get the motor started and the starter went out. I changed the starter and plugs just to see if that was the problem. I put the boat back in the water...
it -6 degrees outside and i was walking past my boat and noticed a small amount of oil on the floor of the garage. it looks like the oil is coming from the top port and just finally reached the ground. Is it possible that the oil froze? I pulled both the drain plugs and nothing came out. The oil...
I just purchased this boat a few weeks ago and noticed it is leaking after the fact. When I purchased the boat, I inspected all the visable welds and they looked fine. The only weld i cant see is the center of the hull because there is another piece over it, that Im guessing is met to protect...
I have a 1993 30hp johnson and its not the easiest thing to get started. Its a pull start. The motor sat up for about three years after my dad passed before I aquired it. Last year, I put it in the shop for a grand total of $600 worth of repairs. I had the carb rebuilt, water pump and housing...

When I shift my motor between gears it doesnt seem to "click" in to neutral. Forward is fine, reverse is fine but there is a small margin to get it into neutral. When I removed the lid and look at the inside it looks it is rounded off. Guess its worn for all the years of swithing back and forth...
I just purchased a ez-Glide system for my 1993 30hp Johnson. Can someone give me a link to where I can find a steering rod kit to connect the EZ-Glide to the motor.
What can I do as far a kill switch is concerned? The motor is a pull start so I need a way to kill the motor from the front and a...
