So this season is the first time I've had my outboard somewhere where it gets cold. It never really got that colds most of this winter so I didn't winterize it but late February and most of this month it's been getting pretty cold. I'm wondering how screwed I will be next month when I try to...
Ive searched and searched and can not find an answer to my problem. I have a 2006 15 hp mercury that the reverse lock does not work on. All the posts ive read have had to do with a reverse lock cam, which I'm pretty sure my model doesn't have. There is basically a linkage going from the locking...
I have a 14ft valco v hull that came with a Bimini when I bought it. Today I have started to try and mock it up.
Does this look like it is mounted the correct way?
If i fold down the back supports and put the top down towards the stern i would not be able to control the motor, or use my rod...
I the 2006 15 horsepower Mercury with low hours,, bought it a couple years ago took it out once last year with zero issues.
let it sit for about a year and just recently I changed the oil
the filter, spark plugs and the lower gear oil. I then put the engine into a bucket so I could test it...
Hello everyone, i have a 2006 15hp mercury outboard that is smoking and i wanted to get some feedback.
I bought this outboard about 2 years ago and it ran fine, 0 issues.. Took it out once since i bought it and had no problems then either.
It has since been sitting outside attached to my boat...
I have an 06 15hp 4 stroke mercury outboard that I have a few questions about as I can't seem to find and of the manuals online
First off, the motor used to lock in the upwards position, and to let it down I would have to shift it into gear. after taking the boat out for its first time...
Changed the gear oil on the lower unit the day on my 2006 15 hp merc. Today when i went to fix the trailer lights i noticed that it had leaked a couple drops of oil. upon closer inspection i noticed that i had tightened down the screw and the seal was not sealing correctly and being pushed out...
Wondering what everyone here uses as a tow vehicle and what are you pulling. I plan on using my 2005 Subaru wrx to pull my 14' aluminum valco. It doesn't weigh much and the wrx is rated to tow up to 2,000 lbs. I have taken the boat on a 4 hour drive round trip with no outboard and I did just...
PO had it on the trailer like this, and even if I move it forward about the foot that I can the entire bottom will not be supported to the transom it looks like. Maybe this isn't the right size trailer for this boat?
so i got this boat at a good deal with a pretty much brand new outboard. anyway there is a couple tiny leaks coming from rivets and the front of the keel. Was wondering what you guys suggest is the best way to fix this? i was thinking of just bucking rivets, or maybe drilling them out and...
So i am looking at purchasing my first boat for fishing. I mostly do trout fishing in smaller eastern sierra lakes, maybe tahoe. As well as some southern california lakes like casitas and pyramid. I am looking at getting a 12-14' aluminum hull with an outboard motor. Just wondering what are some...
