    THE best boat flooring

    I'm not sure if anyone else knows of this, especially those not in the south, but I went to a boat show and saw this product and fell in love! I'm about to change the flooring in my boat, and am choosing this over carpet or bed-liner type material ANY DAY! The guy I talked to is a professional...

    Engine history/info

    Re: Engine history/info I'm sure YOUR info is correct, I think the info I provided is wrong. Only because I don't think this is a 40 h.p. engine. I took a pic of the tag, maybe you can make it out better than I can (old eyes and all). The "9" COULD be a "7" or a "0", which would make the s/n...

    Engine history/info

    Someone on here helped me with info before on an engine, I just can't remember who. I have what I THINK is a 70 hp Mercury, MAYBE '80 model??? The tag is B189651. Any info would be appreciated.

    Engine location on boat

    I got the part where the engine goes on the BACK of the boat, but I'm having troubles at to what HEIGHT the engine goes. i.e., in pic 1, the anti-cavitation plate is just a hair above the bottom of the boat. But is that right? Or should pic 2, which shows the "plate" ABOVE the anti-cavitation...

    Mercury carb adjustments

    I have a 1990 Mercury 115 and need some assistance in adjusting the carbs. If someone could email me that knows what they're doing, since I don't, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Removing Bad Oxidation

    Re: Removing Bad Oxidation Luv I agree with the Vaseline remedy. Here are my before and after pics of my boat after trying the V treatment. Granted, I am 100% aware this isn't a fix all or maybe not even the "proper" way to restore shine and color to a boat, but it's an easy fix, short term...

    Question and comment

    Just read about 13 pages of posts, just for the halibut (lol....get it, instead of hell of it, I said halibut since most of us fish and a halibut ...oh, never mind) and noticed something. Mercury 115 h.p. (year doesn't matter) is NOT mentioned alot. This is either because it's a very good and...

    Tach issues

    Howdy...here's what I got.... I took a tach outta my boat that I suspected wasn't giving me an accurate reading. Stupid me, didn't mark the sending unit line, so I had 3 or 4 lines hangin after cutting the wires. Now I got my new tach in, have the power hooked and the ground hooked, but after...

    FINALLY some pics of the boat and some questions/ideas I have

    There should be pics (finally) of the boat. I read a post on using Vaseline to "restore" the shine. As you can see, my baby needs it. Also, I'm looking to replace the side seats. Anyone know where I could find some like the ones pictured? Unfortunately, the manufacturer of the boat is no longer...

    Starter rebuild

    Question...my starter needs to be rebuilt, is this a project I can do myself, or just take it to someone to do? I could buy a new one for around 130, but if it can be rebuilt for under 100, I can use those savings for other stuff (beer would be first on the list).

    Tachometer question

    I have a 1990 MERCURY 115 ELPTO, Model number 1115412JD...when I took out the tach that was in the boat, a Performance Plus Magnum 150, it had 3 posts on the back. Can a 4 posts tach work somehow...and if so, how? Or does it have to be another 3 post? I wanna say the one that was originally in...

    Tach replacement

    Ok...I wanna say I've asked this before, but it's been awhile since I've been on the site, and am to lazy right now to look for it...so I'ma get input and advice again, if y'all don't mind. I took out a bum tach...3 post..on a 150 Performance Plus with a 1990 Mercury 115. I was given a CAT...
