I was at a local lake today and waiting to put my boat on the trailer. No problem except this a@@ had his boat on the ramp preping it. Still no problem as I wasn't in a hurry. This ramp has a huge parking lot about 400yards from the ramp. This guy puts his boat in and parks in the turn around...
I was at the local boat ramp the other day and met perhaps the stupidest person ever to own a boat. I had pulled my boat into an overflow lot getting my fishing stuff ready when this guy and his wife pulled up to put there boat in. It looked like a new boat pulled by a new truck. They launch...

When I was about 14 years old, mom and dad bought a cabover camper and bass boat. We went camping after dad got off of work. We get to the campground around midnight, find a camping spot and attempt to pull into it. The truck did not have the power to pull the boat into the camping spot (truck...
My 125 Merc. 2+2 has a raw gas smell after a wot run. You can only smell it for a few minutes after a run. I have checked all lines buy pumping the bulb hard. I don't see any gas leak. The only thing I can see is some gas in the carbs (looks like bleed over). Thinking carbs need rebuilt. Any...
I have a 94 125 merc. with the 2+2 idle. I understand that the carbs. control the 2 cyl. idle with the mixing screws on the top 2 carbs. The mixing screws on the bottom 2 are blocked off.
