I ordered a suzuki 9.9 HP manual start outboard online as the nearest Suzuki dealer is 300 miles away. I went with Suzuki because I also have the 115 HP Suzuki on my Lund. Anyway I mounted the motor went through the start proceedure and pulled the rope at least a hundred times. Never really...
I like the simplicity and affordable connecting rod that Cabella's puts out to connect the steering for the big outboard to my kicker motor, but here is my question. Because of the shape of my transom (2002 Lund Fisherman) the steering rod for the big outboard sits 6 inches in elevation below...
I need to seal around the bolts used to mount my kicker motor to the transom. Obviously needs to be water proof and durable, but I do not want it to be permanent. Since it is above the waterline I was thinking about using some Permatex RTV silicone that I have on hand. Is this a good...
I have been reading lots of threads and posts, but still feel like I want to pose a few questions specific to my situation. I respect all the cumulative experience on this forum.

On new Tohatsu how does the manual tilt work?. Is it designed to tilt up by pushing down on the tiller handle or do you have to reach to back of cowling and pull up while you release a locking mechanism? I am not familiar with operation of small outboards. Thanks
Recently acquired a 2006 9.9 manual start mercury outboard, but need owners manual. Can anyone provide me with a .pdf document. I did go to the Mercury website and they have documents on maintenance and storage for the new motors which might be OK if nothing has really changed since 2006. Can...
Been studying this forum and have convinced myself that a Tohatsu 8 HP 4 stroke long shaft outboard will be just fine for a kicker on my Lund 1700 Fisherman. It would appear that the best price is buying it online at onlineoutboards.com. I did see a reference on one post about being cautious...
Looking to buy a kicker motor (8 HP) and am giving serious consideration to the Tohatsu. From what I have read they seem to be an OK motor and they fit my budget. However I know very little about small outboards. I have the steering figured out I think. Plan to tie the kicker to my big...
I am wanting to add a kicker motor to my 2002 lund 1700 fisherman. In reading posts it seems that if my boat has a second pickup on the fuel tank this is the preferred method of providing fuel to the kicker. So this leads to several questions.
Does my lund have the second pickup?
If it...
