Im buying a 1548v Weldbilt boat and my dealer sells a venture 700lb cap for $600, Venture 1300lbs for $700 and a Loadrite for $750. Need help choosing a trailer that will last, particularly in saltwater. I was wondering about an aluminum trailer also and how the prices of those trailers are. I...
a few of the lakes near me have a <10hp rule. I have a Gamefisher 9.9hp (Model number 225.581994) and i want to make it run like a 15hp. I see there is difference in the carbs but i was wondering if anyone had done this to these motors and what they could tell me about it. Ofcoarse i can spend...
I currently have a 14ft fiberglass trihull with a 25hp Johnson and have been considering getting a 16ft Tracker or Weldbuilt welded aluminum Jon. I duck hunt and do some fishing out of it in saltwater and freshwater normally with 2 people and 1-2 dogs. I plan to keep the 25hp outboard. How would...

I also have a 9.9hp that I'm trying to get running. What does it mean when some fuel comes out of the leg...
The rectifier was bad on my 79 115hp outboard (tach only zeros w/ ign on and it was not charging) so i replaced it with good one (checked it as Reeves recommends). Hooked it up, started it up, tach went up to about 5000RPM for about 5 seconds and then zeroed back out. Turned motor off, started...
