Got our boat running good (mercruiser 76' 120 hp i/o) and went out on our snagging trip and it ran like crap!! We noticed a tink tink tink noise and we think it might be coming from the distributor. The boat will make it to 4500 rpm wot but only did it once that entire day, otherwise it was...
was told to start a new thread to try to find the service manual for our motor and stern drive sn# on both motor and stern drive is 4441373 is there a downloadable service manual for this really could use one right about now lol
Just wanted to show you guys what all the help you have given us has amounted too. When we first got this boat it wouldn't run worth crap on muffs and wouldn't go past an idle with a load on the prop. Brought the vid in a bit to show you we fixed our cooling issue we posted about recently and...
I (the mrs.) was down on the missouri river when I was younger fishing with my parents. I thought I had a fish bite my bait (I tend to overreact while fishing.......) so I jerked really... Really hard back. Up out of the water comes soaring my hook which was way closer to the bank than I thought...
*sigh* so we got our lower unit off (76' mercruiser 120), cleaned out all the junk, took out the water pump impeller and bought a new one so we can install it when we get home. There's one big problem. We forgot which direction the impeller fins were turned when we took it out! We don't have a...
Anyone plan on going spoonbill snagging on the osage (warsaw, mo) starting next weekend? I think we will be there every weekend.. We will be the ones with the white 76 trihull seasprite with a pirate rubber duckie mounted on the front lol. Been waiting all year to go again... Got a decent setup...

Took apart the lower unit on a 76' mercruiser so we could replace the impeller. It was pretty twisted up and the ends of the fins were falling off.. Poor...
Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone on this site. A year ago my husband and I bought our first boat and got really scammed on it. With no money to get a different one we prowled this site and checked everything and anything we could for assistance on why our boat was running like a...
Just needing to know if it is safe to reuse gear oil {please forgive me if I got the terminology wrong.. noob :( } from the lower unit if it has just been used for a few hours? Got it out after winterization and noticed the engine was overheating so I think its time to replace the impeller, but...

My husband and I got our first boat. Its not big, just a 16 foot sea sprite tri-hull with a merc 120 in it , but we are wanting to take it somewhere to socialize with people... We never get to have any fun :(
Where is the best places on the Ozarks for that? We live in the area so we know it can...
I am hoping I am in the right place for this..
My husband and I's 76 sea sprite has some steering issues. The steering wheel has about 2 - 3 inches of side to side freeplay before it will turn the drive (mercruiser i/o 120 hp) and when it does turn the steering wheel pops and creaks but will...
My husband and I just bought our first boat and have just a pretty simple question. The hull on it looks like it has had some repair done to it before, but we cannot tell if it pierced all the way through the hull or was just a scratch. The patch is kinda showing and you can see the wire grid...
This is my first post here. After reading alot of posts I have decided to give a shot at letting you all try to help me and my husband get this figured out!!
We have a 76 sea sprite with a 120 hp mercruiser that we just bought. The previous owner had it running and everything on muffs and we...
