Just bought a new to me 2007 15 HP merc 4 Stroke with a boat and trailer. I need to remove the motor from the boat so I can remove the boat from the trailer to do some work on the bunks. The motor weighs in at over 100 Lbs and I cannot lift it off. Cannot see any lift points on the motor...

If a major player in the PWC market decides to buy and further develop this our lakes will become a very different place.
New Zealand mechanic Rudy Heeman has just developed a two passenger hovercraft that has the ability to lift off, leaving other water based craft in its wake. The hovercaft...
Found this while surfing with my morning cup of tea. Looks like a new toy for couch potatoes. http://www.boats.com/boat-content/2010/03/electric-sofa-boat-wows-crowds/
I have a nice little rudy 4 hp that needs a new powerhead, but before I start looking I though I should ask what model years are good to match this motor. Thanks.
I recently bought this motor for $100 knowing it was a none runner but was hoping I was looking at a dirty carb. Not so the upper clyinder is 90 Lb's after two pull's the lower can barely make 30 Lbs. Removed head and exhaust cover to discover the bottom cylinder piston top ring is gone which...
My son is looking at buying a 1991 Bayliner 2855 Ciera. This will be his first large boat and his first fiberglass hull. I have little experience with this type of boat as I have always owned tinnies. I know it is V8 powered as it has a 7. something liter merccruiser. It is currently for...
I am about to bolt on a new CMC power trim unit and have removed the steering cable to make it easier to remove the motor. My current cable is 10.5 feet and with the extra 6" setback the CMC will give I thought I might need an 11 foot cable. The number on my Teleflex cable is SC/270 H1 tried...
A good friend just picked up a nice little 6 Rudy Serial Number plate shows 6604A C67006. My old OMC Pdf shows that this is a 1976. It looks like the previous owner was using lawn mower plugs in it need to know what the required plugs are. Thanks.

I have narrowed my selection down to the Eagle Fishmark 480 or the Lowrance 96. I like the 480x480 screen on the Fishmark compared to the 320x320 on the Lowrance, but have read a few bad owner reviews on the Eagle at various online retail sites. No bad reviews for the Lowrance. The price is the...
Looking at buying a new Lowrance X96 for my console and moving my older eagle to the trolling motor. My question is can I use my old speed sensor from my eagle with the new lowrance unit, or will I have to pay another $90 for a new unit.
My old 1982 Lowe bass boat has the original pedestal bases and posts that do not lock in. Last weekend I finally lost on of my seats with its seat base because of it's inability to lock down. I live in an area that has little or no boat supply dealers so must order everything on line without...
