Hi,
Does anyone know of an adjustment for a 79 70HP manual tilt? I need to really mess with the lever flicking up and down and playing with it before it finally comes unlocked and lets me pick up the motor. I see all the levers move but then it just remains locked until I get it perfect.
It's...
Hello I am a new boater and funds are starting to get tight with everything needed for my new boat. My curreny prop is some plastic thing that the guy told me you can replace the fins on. My friend told me I should get a new prop and use that one as a spare.
I found a prop on e-bay for $50 and...
