My buddy has an achilles rib and he needs to get the numbers off teh side to register it in a new state. As the old rubber decals are peeled back it seems to be taking some of the orange from teh tube with it. We use a hair drier and it didn't seem to ease things much. Does it matter that it is...
Got a motor the other day that was sunken recently, the guy had the clamps bust and the thing went into the river. It is a 9.9 evinrude with electric start model 10855M Serial E0001479. He got frustrated working on it because after weeks of work he coudln't get it to start, so it ended up with...
Last summer I was on my way to home when i saw a very stupifying site, an Aluminum boat laying in the middle of an intersection with teenagers trying to put it back on its trailer. It was an easy loader, roller type trailer, so i can only imagine they did not hook the nose or strap it, and...
I have a 16ft larson fiberglass with an 85hp merc that really flys on the water. The motor is out of commision at the moment and has me contemplating getting a 10"2 Fiberglass hull zodiac. The boat is rated for 10hp which is just enough to make my 16ft'r go 7mph, already have a nice motor for a...
I've fished in several locations with serveral different baitss off of local docks and boardwalks and have caught shiner after shiner, with the occasional sculpin to break the monotany. I have YET to catch a surf perch of any eating size. Do the larger species of surf pirch really exists in the...
I've seen 10"2 zodiacs with rigid bottoms, marine ply wood, and highpressure inflatable hulls. My guess is the Rib would be fastest and the max power for all these boats is 10hp, i wonder how fast a 82lb tohatsu 9.8ph motor would move me with these boats, hoping more than 7mph, if anyone has any...
A guy at boaters world told me the other day that the 2005 and 2006 tohatsu 4 strokes are awesome motors, he says they weigh 82 pounds which is very light for a 4 stroke, and they are very effecient and reliable. I currently have a 1971 mercury 9.8 and it is getting to be less and less reliable...
My Mercury 110 quit spraying water awhile ago, recently i removed the lower unit and found my impeller destroyed. I put a new impeller in and it will still not spray water. I ran water through the exit hose and it came out of the bottom of the engine so i know there is no obstruction in any of...
My motor sn is 4297123. It is a 4 cylinder 85hp. I have no spark whatsoever. I just replaced the coil because i had no spark before. When i put the new coil in the motor worked fine for a few days, now i'm back to no spark again, last time the coil fixed the problem, i don't know how it could...
I have a few probelms with my old merc 9.8hp model 110. One big problem is there is no serial number placard on the thing and because i bought it used i have no what year it is, i've gone to a few websites to try to identify it. I know it is newer than 64 and older than 78, it has a red stripe...
