    Looking at a pontoon w/ 06 115hp Optimax

    looking for advice on a 1996 merc 15 hp.

    looking for advice on a 1996 merc 15 hp.

    could be his cables are frozen, if you take the cowl off you should be able to shift it into forward and reverse manually that way. if you can find a good tiller then why not!

    Sea Dek or the equivalent

    right on, thanks!! i kinda of figured that would be the case, i love the fact i can pull my carpet out and was it off, dont do it often unless the kids get sand on it from the beach. the platform if it has sand and its dry it doesnt feel good hitting you in the face going 35 mph!
