Hello,
I am going to be doing some fiberglass repair on my 2004 Seaswirl 170 but have no experience in it and would like some guidance.
The bottom of the hull is scraped all along the middle and the PO tried to do his own repair which was shoddy. I would like to fix it up make sure that it...

My boat ran great all summer but the last two times I had it out, when I turned the key off, the engine sputtered and wouldn't shut down for 10-15sec. It starts and runs fine until I go to turn it off...

The boat is new to me, and if I am having an issue with the RPM's at WOT. By myself it is only running at 3500 RPM's doing 49mph on a calm lake. This engine is supposed to be between 4200-4600 RPM's at...
I have a 1993 Mercury 115 and I have been having problems with the tach and the charging system (read my other posts!!).
I narrowed my previous problem down to a voltage regulator, which I replaced. After doing that, the charging system worked and the tach worked fine for about 20min. I shut off...

I have a 115 merc outboard with a power trim and the gauge on the dash is not working. I have checked the power to it and it is getting a full 12v so I don't think it is the gauge. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should be looking for to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
I took my 1993 Mercury 115 two stroke out yesterday and the battery was completely dead. I jumped it with the truck and the motor ran perfectly.
Went out on the water, and after an hour it stalled will I was idling and when I went to start it again, absolutely no juice in the battery. Had to...
I have a 1994 Rinker Captiva 170 with a Mercury 115 outboard. I decided to change the carpet on the floor and when I stripped it all off, the floor under the captains chair is completely rotted. The section is about 12" by 18". I tried looking underneath the floor to see if I could see any cross...
I would like to replace my carpet in my 17' bowrider but when I went to remove the old carpet, it will not budge. I couldn't even get a little piece up as it is completely glued down everywhere. Is there a trick to removing carpet that is glued down and failing that, can I just re-carpet over...
I have a 1993 Rinker captiva 170 with a mercury 115 outboard and I am having problems with my steering. I just bought the boat and took it out on the water and at low speeds, the steering is fine but when you go to WOT, the boat pulls severely to the right, almost like when the aligment in a car...

Thanks.
