I'm looking at the EV100 autopilot from Raymarine. The steering unit that I have has a pump capacity of 8.3 cu in. The pump with the EV100 is a type 0.5. The range of capacity for this pump is a maximum of 9 cu in.

I have a 4 stroke 6 HP Mercury long shaft motor. It has the gas tank built in. I've also plumbed it into my main tank with a valve switch. AT idle, about 800 RPMs, it runs fine. A slight twist of the throttle, the idle jumps way up, probably over 2000 RPMs. When trying to troll with my 17'...
I'm going to take my boat from Michigan to Florida. It's a 21' walkaround, 150 HP Yamaha 4 stroke. I also have a 9.9 Yamaha kicker on it. Primary use will be pleasure cruising and doing some fishing. I'll be in the intercostal off Ft. Myers, probably not going to far out in the Gulf. I've...
Not meaning to start a battle here, but I'm trying to figure out what type of boat I want to buy for use in Florida around Ft. Myers. I have a 21' walk around up in Michigan with a Yamaha 4 stroke. I've been told to leave it in Michigan.
I'm looking for a fishing boat/go for a boat ride with...
I have a 1977 14' Sea Nymph aluminum boat, and I need a part. I'm not sure what this piece is. it's the small aluminum deck piece that's on the bow of the boat, that's a small deck piece with 2 handles on it. Mine broke and I'd like to replace it. I could build one out of wood but....

It's getting to be that time of the year again when it's time to think about putting the boats in winter storage. Here in Michigan, it can get very cold in the winter, with temps below zero. So, in the past, I've pulled my batteries and store them in doors in my heated work shop (45F). But...
I just bought a 2005 21WA Polar from a dealer, and had them mount a kicker bracket for a 9.9 Yamaha. The transom is curved at the back, and they shimmed out the kicker bracket to get it flat across the back. I have noticed that the rub rail has come loose, and that the fiberglass section where...
I have a pretty basic question on GPS. Let me give you some background info. I have a 25' Trophy with a hard top and an electronics storage locker. I had a Lowrance Mapping GPS that takes the Navionics cards. It is mounted in my locker, along with my Humminbird Sonar, radar unit, and Fish...
I just picked up a used boat, motor and trailer. The motor is a 1995 40HP Johnson, in the blue color. I want to repaint the cowl because it's all scratched up. What is the code and where can I buy the paint? I just need a can of spray paint.
I have twin merc outboards on my boat. since i'm getting ready to pull it out of storage soon, I want to ask to forum if anyone else has one of these on their boat. my motors are 1996 merc, 2 stroke [not optimax], 25" length, 175hp. there are settings on the back of the meter, and i would...
I have a Lowrance globalmap 6000C that on power up, shows an error about 5% of the time saying the GPS module is not responding. I tried another module, and I get the same thing. I think it might be the extension cable.
Any thoughts?
I have twin 175HP 2 strok OB's on my boat. I'm thinking of putting a water seperator on it. The local marina is telling me 1 per engine, West Marine says one with 2 ports will work.
Any tips?
OK, this might sound like a simple dumb question, but what makes a counter rotation, couter rotation? I know the prop turns in the other direction, but is it the lower unit that the extra gear is in or is it in the power head?
I have a 25' Trophy with twin 1996 175 HP outboards 2 strokes, one being a counter rotation engine. I have a Flow Scan fuel flow meter system, and I noticed that my port (counter rotation) engine uses more fuel than my starboard engine.
How much you ask? Well, a lot. By a lot I mean I burn...
