    Hydraulic Fittings

    I have a 93 18 ft ProCraft Bass Boat with a SeaStar I hydraulic steering system installed. I have noticed over the last few years it leaks a little so I started investigating. After further inspection, the hoses are being kinked from trimming the motor up to the tow position. With the motor in...

    weird temp readings

    82 blackmax 200 on an 18 ft procraft bass boat. Sometimes warning buzzer goes off at 140 sometimes not my temp guage gets to 180. I have been reading a bit on here and wondering if the sensor might be bad. I have no beep at start up. Over the last 3 years I have replaced thermos water pump and...

    Should my black max 200 pee strong all the time?

    Had to tow a guy in last week. At idle all temps were fine but moving very slow. I decided to try a little faster. @ 1200 rpms I began to overheat. I could shift into neutral run up to about 3000 rpms and get the motor to cool. He later told me that the stream got weaker as it got close to...

    Cracked Lower Unit

    Last week my mechanic called to say my lower unit had a hairline crack in it and was gonna be hard to keep sealed. Long story short I bought a used one from him and I still have the old one. It has a low water pickup and was told by him that it was a "hi performance" unit. I took it to him for...

    Control location

    I recently bought new controls for my 93 procraft bass boat. The old control base is square therefore the mounting base isn't much bigger than controls. The new control is more oval and larger than the old. Looks to me like I should build out the old location. Should I try to make a new bracket...

    Shift Cables

    I recently bought new controls on ebay and seller says I need to use Gen II mercury cables. My boat has teleflex CC17912. What is the difference between the Gen II cables and this one? Will a Gen II cable work on my 82 black max 200?

    Quicksilver control box

I am looking for a box on ebay and wondering which controls will work and which ones won't. I have an 82 blackmax 200 on the back. My kill switch is seperate from the box. The only wires in...

    Lower unit Leaking

    Prop Damage

    I have a 25 P Quicksilver SS prop on an 82 Merc 200. My prop is very slightly nicked on some of the edges. Can I file these nicks out or would this be better done by a prop shop? There are no major nicks or bends mind you. TIA Mark

    200 h.p won't idle

    I have been fighting now for 5 weeks to get my 82 200hp cool, not worrying about anything else. Now that the engine runs cool, I can tackle some of the other issues. When I am at home running on the tank, the engine idles smooth and about 750 RPM. When I go to the lake, the same, as soon as I...
