    40 HP Mercury 2 Stroke Oil Injected - What should I know about winterizing?

    Just recently bought a pontoon boat that came with a 40 HP Oil Injected Mercury Outboard motor (4-cylinder). Runs great, starts up on first try. The Boat itself is a 1993, so I'm not sure if the motor is the same year. I've had experience with one outboard motor before, which was a regular 2...

    2005 Mercruiser TKS 3.0 Litre, some problems with starting.

    I have a 2005 Mercruiser 3.0 Liter Engine with an Alpha One Outdrive. Often times when I start it up cold, it takes about 2 tries to get it going. Once the engine starts to warm up and the choke starts to open up, the engine feels like it's going to stall, but doesn't. (The idle drops to about...

    Pulling two tubes with a Bayliner 175, am I looking for trouble?

    Simple question for you guys that have a Bayliner 175, know a lot about it, or have a boat similar to it. Can i pull two tubes safely without anything to go wrong? I know this varies greatly on the load of the boat and the engine. Well, I have a 3.0L mercruiser, so I know it's not the most...

    Time to change the impeller?

    Alright, to start off, I own a 2005 Bayliner 175, with a 3.0L Mercruiser Engine. Outdrive is an Alpha One Gen II. So, boat warms up to 175 (normal temp). I take off, and as I start to get up to cruising speed, the temperature started to creep up more to around 185-190. (Usually I see 180 at the...

    1983 Mercury 402 40hp outboard starting problems.

    Having problems with starting my Mercury Outboard. To first start off, I don't know much about boats. Ok, so I last started the boat in September, after that we stored it in a garage until now. We did put fuel stabilizer in the fuel tank with a full tank (25L). We did put in a little too much...

    How to find out if a boat is stolen or not with HIN

    To start off, I found a boat that is a steal for the price (at least by the looks. Needs TLC and everything, but I'm willing to put time into it), but the only thing that sent off an alarm to me was that the owner stated he doesn't have the title for the boat. How do I figure out if the boat is...
