I have a new 2014 Stingray and a new tandem axle aluminum trailer (bought separately). I positioned the bunks to be near where the hull stringers are. They can actually be moved in another few inches to be directly under the stringers but i want to avoid making the boat unstable. Outside bunk to...
hey guys,
I'm in the process of buying a brand new 2014 Stingray with a 2013 Yamaha 150. I didn't realize the motor was a '13 until they brought out the paperwork. The salesman told me that manufacturers often slap on older year engine models for whatever reason, so therefore its quite common...
i've rented a saltwater boat slip and am looking for an easy way to flush my motor. I do have a fresh water hose valve/hose at my dock but i have been unable to find hose adapter options like most other outboards have. My motor is a '98 Merc Force 120. I may be able to use the Muffs with engine...

I have a dependable '98 Merc-Force 120 that runs great and performs surprisingly well on my boat but id love to upgrade to a clean smooth & quiet 4stroke. Ive come across a reasonably priced 2010 4-stroke 115 EFI for sale by dealer. Ive searched for info on this motor and I've found multiple...

hey guys,
i have a 18' boat with a '98 Force by Mercury 120 that we bought this summer. It has ran very good so far @ tops out @ over 40mph. However, Ive recently come accross a 2001 Mercury 125 i can get a deal on and after i sold my current motor would probably cost me next to nothing to make...
hey guys, i recently bought a boat with a 1998 Force "by mercury" 120.. I'm on vacation at the NJ shore and have rented a saltwater slip to keep the boat in for the next week & half. Is there an adapter they sell to hook up a garden hose to the cooling system? i do have a water supply/hose on my...
hey guys...
i'm looking at buying a 21' Wellcraft excel bowrider powered by a 90hp Honda o/b. I already know that this combo will not make a "fast" boat, but i was hoping it would get me by for the rest of the season.(repower over winter). Do you guys think this 90 would get me on plane with 4-5...
