    Can I use Mercury Laser II on a small cabincruiser? 125HP/500KG/18.5ft

    Hello! I found someone who have the same engine and boat as I do. Mercury 125HP two-stroke on a Alicraft 18.5 ft boat. Known as Alicraft Norwind 18. 500KG without engine etc. It is a small cabincruiser, got a little cabin in the front. He had a 14 1/4 x 23P on it. I found a 14 1/4 x 23P Laser...

    New engine for boat. Which prop is optimal? Alicraft 18 + Mercury 125.

    Hi! Last setup: Alicraft Norwind 18 w/ Mariner 90HP two-stroke 2001. Perfect prop was E.Chance 13.25x17 which gave me about 5500 RPM. The 90HP had a 2,33:1 gearcase. Same boat, same everything expect that I upgraded to a 125HP. Got that engine cheap. It is a 2002 modell in even better...

    Upgrading to 90 Merc to 125 2+2 merc? Experience with the 125/115 2+2 mercs?

    Hi! I got an Alicraft 18 Norwind. Something is off and I only get 28 knots with 90HP, while others are reporting 33-35 with 90HP on the same hull. (It is a light hull, only 500KG). I saw this great deal on a 2004/2005 Mercury 125HP 2+2 engine, two-stroke. I got the two-stroke classic as well...

    90HP Mariner two-stroke 2001 not performing as it should? Speed is bad, gas is good

    Hi! I recently tried my "new" boat and my "new" engine. Bought seperatly. A 2001 90HP mariner two-stroke, and a Alicraft 18 Norwind from the 1980. The boats weight is only 500KG. The hull does not have a very strong V-shape, but is perfectly decent. The 90HP 2-strokes from 1995-2017 is...

    Which prop (3 or 4-blade) for a 18.5 ft Alicraft 18 Norwind with Mariner 90 2T

    Hi! I had a Rana 16 Line, but I bought an Alicraft 18 Norwind a few weeks ago, and the same Mariner 90HP 2T (From 2001) will be pushing the boat. I want an aluminium prop due to lower prices. The Alicraft is 5,65m long, 2,30m beam, 500KG dry-weight without people, gas, engine etc. This is the...

    15.5ft Rana 16 Line (DC) + 90HP Mariner. Spitfire X7 21P good choice?

    Hi! I have a Norwegian made boat, under 50 made. It's called Rana 16 Line and it's from 1970. Pictures of hull and top. (The boat will get a updated antifoul soon, before I release her out on the ocean again. But she dosen't look bad to be 47 years! Bought her last summer) 4.75M long, 1.98M...

    Mariner 60HP 2 stroke 1996/1997. How to get the engine to start easier?

    Hi! With my old Mercury 30HP I could turn the key and it would start, with this I need to turn it 2-3 times before it starts, but stops after half a second. When I turn the key again it will start right up no problem. Not using choke. Only pumping the tank thingy. Is this normal? The comp...

    How to convert Mariner 50HP 2 stroke to 60HP (1991-1997) I've got a donor engine!

    Hi! Recently I purchased a 50HP Mariner 2 stroke 96-97 mod. Been serviced good, had to change the impeller, every bolt was greased up so an easy job! Anyhow, a couple of days ago I got my hands on a complete Mariner 60HP 1992 mod. It was purchased in 1992 for the Barcelona Olympic, so it got...
