    Lower End Unit Water Stream?

    Thank you. Now, I wonder why I didn't see it before. Would it bad if the water wasn't flowing through it before? I just can't remember seeing it.

    Lower End Unit Water Stream?

    Today, when I was flushing the engine as normal, I noticed a 2nd stream of water coming from the lower end unit. I've never seen water coming out of it, and I don't know if that's normal or not. My regular pisser still works without any issues. Attaching picture. I had no issues on the water...

    Upgrade Steering On 16ft Bayliner

    So I started taking the steering rod out, but I'm not sure how it would come all the way out. I have the rod half way out (I think), but it won't come out any more, because the hole is higher than the rod, and the cable is already at an angle, that I don't think it can be pulled out further.

    Upgrade Steering On 16ft Bayliner

    So after I disconnected the motor, the motor moves very easy, but the steering is pretty hard without the motor. It seems like when the rod goes in, about half way, it starts to steer easier all the way in, and same out, half way out it's pretty easy, then midway until it's fully out, gets...

    Upgrade Steering On 16ft Bayliner

    Thank you. Will look into that option. Outboard. I haven't tried to re-grease, but will try that in the next couple days. Thank you. Will try that in the next couple days, and see if that's any better.

    Upgrade Steering On 16ft Bayliner

    Hello. I have a 1999 16' Bayliner, and steering is a workout. I've been looking to upgrading it, but I'm not sure what would be best, hydraulic or power steering. Also the other day, I came across a video on YouTube from 8 years ago, about a system called Invisible Touch. They were able to turn...

    Bayliner 1600 rotten floor

    The other day, I noticed soft spot on the back floor. Then as I was cleaning under the left side seat, I noticed there was a crack in the floor, and it was muddy. As I cut open the fiberglass floor, the wood was just wet all throughout. I've been running dehumidifier for couple days now, but I...

    Hello. I am trying to flush and replace the oil in the lower unit, but I can't seem to find the exact answer. I came across PDF file from mercurymarine.dk that says to use "Quicksilver Premium Gear Lube 80W-90 For Outboard lower units below 75hp". (mines 90). Then towards the bottom, it says to...

    '98 Mercury Force 90HP Starting Problems

    Hello. I recently bought a Bayliner boat, with 98 Mercury Force 90HP motor. I tested the boat on the water with the seller, everything was great. Compression was around 130 I believe, on all 3 cylinders. Got it home. Next day went on the water, and it wouldn't start. Fuel film started to appear...

    Quicksilver/Mercury 3000 throttle only button will not depress

    Please bear my boating language, as I've been a boater for only 2 days. My boat stalled, and I might've panicked, and broken the throttle only button, while trying to start it, by giving it a bit gas, so it starts. The button ended up being pressed in, and the boat wouldn't crank at all. I...
