    5.7 Merc Alpha One Gen one violently shakes entire boat?!

    Could it possibly be that you hit something under water with your prop while docking?

    Engine runs for 1 minute and stalls, then starts with no problem. Merc A1G1 140 HP

    It seems to me that your problem is a blockage before the filter. Maybe crud in the tank outlet /filter. Or maybe an air leak somewhere in the line that causes your fuel pump to suck air instead of fuel

    Chain worth it?

    There is a restaurant there that serves fresh caught walleye (pickerel in Canadian English) I was a bit doubtful when I read pickerel on the menue, But it was worth every bite.

    ID odd length Lower unit 9.9/15hp series

    When you look at the actual shaft, does it look like it could be cut in 2 and fit 2 short shaft outboards? Maybe somebody just machined a double length short shaft , but never got around to cutting it in two and finishing the job.

    ID odd length Lower unit 9.9/15hp series

    Is it just the driveshaft that is longer or is it the lower unit housing as well? I have heard something about house boats that used 2 or 3 of the 5 inch extension pieces to make the engine more accessible for service, but that was a long time ago. Another thing I have heard about is using the...

    Scientist claim to have brought back Dire wolf

    The woolly mammoth? I love woolen sweaters that's why. But seriously, the only reason I can think of is the somehow romantic idea of bringing back something that is fresh in nordic memory and big and spectacular.

    Stubborn To Start 1979 9.8

    It is fuel starved for sure. Sounds like a fuel hose connection or a defective fuel pump.

    Cruise lines

    If it is piece and quiet that you have in mind, a cruise ship is not what you want. Half the time it feels like a circus with too many people in too small a place and you can't get off.

    Windshield replacement

    Since it looks like a piece of straight glass without a special bend or angle , you can just go to your local glazier with the frame, explain to him what it is for so he knows what sort of glass to use and he will cut you a new one. I had all the windows replaced on my Starcraft Islander without...

After 2 weeks in that hospital she was flown by private plane from Lima to Rochester,NY. She had a good travel insurance...

    Golden Jubilee Evi Sportwin 10 - Should I convert?

    That is a very beautiful outboard. If the inside is as well kept as the outside, you will enjoy it for years to come I would open the cowling and see if it has a fuel pump. A lot of them have been converted over the years. Often without changing the connectors Personally, I would go the fuel...
