    Plugging Inlet in Transom

    I have 2 inlets in rear of transom as you can see from below picture. One at the bottom is my main bilge drain. The one above it and to the right is an inlet for a live well that fills up when boat goes in the water. I never use the well really and to be honest I am worried about something...

    Solar Power Charging

    Was thinking of possibly getting one of those DC Solar Charging panels. Any thoughts on them? My current configuration is 2 batteries to a switch (wiring setup diagram below) Since I have 2 batteries would I need 2 of the solar panel charging units or would one suffice? And if one..... how would...

    Ramp Loading

    So probably a stupid question but here it goes anyway... New to trailering and ramp use. No problems with loading boat in the water but the last couple of times I have loaded my boat it seems to always be crooked on the trailer. I think this is mainly due to the fact that I am backing my...

    Some Battery Switch Questions

    Single outboard and putting in a 4 position battery switch. Having boat repowered next week so thought this would be a good time to get the switch in before going for the motor to be installed. Couple of questions... 1. According to the diagram I need to run a jumper cable between my...

    1 Engine Down

    So I ran my boat for the first time the other day while it was in the water at my local service center where they were putting some new rollers on my trailer. I have twin 1989 Mariner 150's and noticed that my starboard engine was a bear to start and stalled out on me a few times when out on...

    Mariner Trim Tilt Wiring

    Just picked up a used "Working" tilt trim unit for my 1989 Mariner 150HP (post here before about the tilt/trim pump not taking my engine up fully to the tilt position due to the large center piston failure unless I help it up) The unit I just bought is a 2 wire system. Dont have the boat with...

    Position on Trailer

    Is there are sort of calculation or guide online to figure what the optimum location of boat should be on trailer? Meaning roller location and how much is acceptible to be hanging off back past the last set of roller?

    Tilt Trim Problem

    Started having a trouble with my 1989 Mariner 150 HP Tilt Trim I have 2 sets of pistons. Smaller set takes engine up (assuming to the trim positions) - when they max out the single larger piston takes over and takes it to the tilt position. Once my 2 smaller pistons max out I hear the larger...

    Power Steerling Leak

    Started with losing all steering (89 Twin Mariner 150's) Checked my resevoir for power steering at the wheel and added until full and steering came back. Saw my transom just below the power steering unit was damp and it appears I have a leak. So slow of a leak I stared at it for a while and...
