Hello everyone, I just purchased my first pontoon. I've rented pontoons before and wanted one for a long time. I decided to look for a used boat and found a cream puff from a local dealer. She's a 1999 Sylvan 18' with a 2018 Evinrude Etec 75 HP. The boat is a one owner that's been garaged it's...
Hi everyone, I have a 1969 Holsclaw tilt trailer that's in excellant condition with roller bunks, new wheels/tires and lighting. The trailer has always been garaged and has very little surface rust only. Does anyone know what a trailer like this would be worth? The paint is still decent and...
Anyone know if I can remove this without removing the powerhead? I have the lower unit off and all bolts removed. The housing moves freely around but I can't seem to get it far enough back to slide down off the exhaust housing. It's an 84' model. Thanks
Does anyone know where I can get Suzuki Arctic Silver touchup paint
(part#99000-10209-02M)? Brownspoint Suzuki said it's discontinued. Are there any other places that may sell old stock paint? Thanks
I'm trying to clean up and re-paint my 84' Suzuki Outboard. It's pretty corroded and I have alot of black pitting on the lower unit. Does anyone know how to remove this black stuff so that I can prime/paint? I think if I sand I'll go too deep into the metal. Can I just prime over it? Thanks
Can anyone give me advice on removal of agae from the lower unit? Is there a recommended cleaner to use. I've heard of using muratic acid but is it safe on aluminum? Are there better alternatives? Thanks
Can anyone explain what exactly "Oil Injection" is on a 2 stroke outboard? I'm going to buy an 84' Suzuki DT140 tomorrow and I'm confused about this. Does this mean that I don't pre-mix the fuel? Thanks:confused:
I need a motor and have the choice of a 140hp 1984 Suzuki, or a late 80's 115HP Mercury. Both have tilt/trim. Same price. Any opinions or advice? I'm mounting it to an 18' Trihull. Thanks
I'm new to boating and need a motor for my boat. I'm looking at one on craigslist. It's a 1984 Suzuki DT140 for $1100. Runs good and looks clean. Does anyone know if this is a 2 stroke or 4 stroke and is it fuel injected? Also, is Suzuki a good brand of outboard? Thanks!!
I'm going to start replacing my transom and flooring and saw something at Menards (Home Improvement Store) this past weekend. They sell a product that is made from recycled plastic, like grocery bags or whatever. It comes in 4x8' sheets and was in the same area as the plywood. It's 1/2"...
I'm new to boating and this site(awesome), and I recently purchased an old boat(one owner 1969 Larson 18' trihull shark) with a 1973 Johnson 115hp outboard. Previous owner said it got hot and has a bad piston. I pulled the plugs and the #1 looked silver and pretty beat up so I pulled the head...
