    Do it yourself Pumpout?

    It's not that we can't afford it, I just like calling people out that rip you off that's all. You might say, well, they have to pay to dispose of it. Then why am I paying $40 for 10-gallons and the yacht that pulls up next has a 60-gallon tank and it's the same price?

    Do it yourself Pumpout?

    Thanks, I'll try that. We are bringing the boat to a large inland lake for a week for the first time (first time not being on a Great Lake that is) (not living on it) and most people by their reply's don't realize they don't have marina services like pump outs, you're lucky to find gas on the...

    Do it yourself Pumpout?

    State of MI does, WI lets the marina owner charge whatever they want! My point is pump outs should not be a huge money maker, thank God some states like MI (and others) do it for cost just to help keep the lakes clean. But on a side note, how many of you actually put down your beer and get out...

    Do it yourself Pumpout?

    Okay, the public marina in Fish Creek, WI has raised prices once again and now it's like paying $6 for every gallon of pee water, (wish I lived in MI) has anyone come up with a way to pump it out themselves? I have a septic system at home I can put it in just need a way to extract it.

    What should the piston psi be on late 70s 2hp outboards?

    What should the piston psi be on late 70s 2hp outboards?

    Most common causes on those little 2hp Evinrudes: Dirty carb jet Weak spark (coil/points) Partially sheared prop pin Okay, I replaced the carb and same issue so #1 is out. I'll look at the prop/pin next, then go to the coil next if the easy fix is okay. Might be awhile for test run but Ill...

    What should the piston psi be on late 70s 2hp outboards?

    So, here's the deal, I have a 1978 2hp Evinrude and a 1982 2hp Johnson, I run the Johnson on a small dingy, runs fine and good power wide open, but for some reason the Evinrude on wide open seems like it's a 1hp and not 2hp, and YES I know how to adjust the high and low jets, so it comes down to...

    350 Mag MPI Thermostat Replacement ?

    Thanks, Got It! Now I only wish MerCruiser/Quicksilver would sell their thermostat as a kit with all gaskets and plastic sleeve, from what I have seen, you have to buy everything separately unless you buy an off brand:(

    350 Mag MPI Thermostat Replacement ?

    They are raw water. So, you're saying that my original stats are 160* and the SmartCraft and the analog gauges are just reading it lower at 150 degrees?
