    Trim fluid addition quandary...

    I'm sure you guys will laugh at this one, but here goes... I'm sure I have a very slow hydraulic leak in my trim/tilt. Up and down with the switch is just fine, but if I leave the motor up, it gradually travels down (approx 2"/hr). Here's the laughable part: I'd love to find a way to top off...

    Hummin Fish Finder

    I wanted to take a quick moment to thank everyone for their help on my "FishFinder vs. DepthSounder" topic. Ultimately, I had bought the Humminbird Piranha 4 and installed the transducer before the last poster mentioned that the Humminbirds are notoriously crummy. Fortunately, the unit has...

    Fishfinder vs. Depth sounder

    Several neighbors in my area have suggested that going out into our river and bay area would be insane without a depth reading (lots of mud, shallows, shoals). As I'm browsing through the WestMarine catalog, I'm trying to figure out why I would spend $150-$250 for a depth sounder, when I can...

    Hey akk,<br />I'm trying to set the timing on my 1992 Merc 60HP. The manual recommends using a dial indicator to find TDC, then backing off to get to 0.451" BTDC. I'd like to find a dial indicator with a spark plug thread adapter so I don't have to 'rig' a holder on a normal style indicator...

    Motor : 1992 Merc 60HP S/N:0d095933<br />I've just changed the water pump in the above-referenced motor. While I was in there, I replaced the shift shaft bushing and seal (the seal was corroded looking). The shift shaft never left the lower unit, though. Upon reinstallation of the lower...

    Fuel filler ground connection

    While working on my 16' SeaRay BR, I replaced the fuel filler neck and hose (with same part as OE - Perko w/ integral ground connection). Lo and behold, after doing all the work on the filler end, I wanted to check the ground connection at the other end of the wire. It was just flopping...

    Merc 60HP Powerhead swap

    I recently acquired a used powerhead for my 1992 Merc 60hp. The S/N for the replacement is newer than my original, and has some (mostly) very slight differences. The only one I haven't been able to overcome is the oil injector. The bolt holes from my original oil injector don't line up with...
