    Entertaining Gearcase Compatability Question

    So I was digging a hole in the backyard to bury the left over meatloaf that I found in the fridge the other night and my shovel struck a hard metallic object. Out of curiosity, I started unearthing the object wondering if it were ancient body armor, a hidden treasure chest, a time capsule or...

    Bunk Slide Alternatives?

    I had the ironwood pacific brand on my old trailer, they were great, but occasionally cracked. In my opinion, all the brands are all too much money for what they are. Around $200 for my application. (Four 12' 2x4s) Unfortunately since I live in AK I haven't found anyone who will sell me...

    I'm ordering thermostats and a few other parts for my 1999 F80 and was reminded of a question I've had for a while...... What does the "pressure control valve" that is in the exhaust cover actually do? (Item 19, 20, and 21)...

    Alaskan fishing in NE Florida

    I may be moving from Kodiak, AK down to the Jacksonville, FL area this next summer. I have never fished the Atlantic or Gulf and am trying to get a realistic idea of what I should expect. I've spent my whole life fishing the North Pacific. Here's the kicker: I'm going to try to do things a...

    1999 Yamaha F80 When the motor is running in the water or on a flushing adapter I get a good tell-tale stream. When I hook up the yamaha hose adapter on the topside and flush with good water pressure I don't get the good tell-tale stream but I get plenty of water coming out of the exhaust...

    construction financing

    Does anybody have a lender to recommend that finances new boat construction. I am hoping to have a custom aluminum boat built. Our bank approved us for the amount but not the particular boat because it must be 95% complete to write the check. How do you get to that point when working with a...

    704/705 T/T switch compatibility

    Will a 704 (top mount) control box trim and tilt switch rig in a 705 (flush mount) control? .............. an attempt to save bucks. I've gone long enough with the shorted remote control switch un-plugged and I'm tired of going over the transom to trim the motor.

    Discontinuation of Loran C

    Has anyone heard about the Loran system finally getting taken off line? I just caught word of a message today about shutting down of the USCG Loran station in St. Paul AK next year. I'll read through it later to get the details when I can, but it sounds like it is part of the disbandment of the...

    BF 90A lower unit issues

    1998 Honda BF90A It started as a 20" shaft motor which was too short for the transom on the boat. I removed the original Mercury-built lower unit, swapped out the upper shift shaft, extended the water tube, installed studs and a spacer and hooked up a used "newer" Honda-built 25" lower unit...

    Replacement skeg for BF 90

    Well the monster that dwells at 32' out in the channel out in the bay came up and bit off my skeg and chewed up the prop this evening. Go figure. Does anybody have a good source to buy a replacement skeg to weld on? Even a Honda part number would be helpful. It is for a Post 1999 gear case for a...

    Replacement for Eagle GPS

    I have an Intellimap 320 GPS by Eagle. I bought a Nauticpath west coast/AK chip for it that is for Eagle/Lowrance units and they don't work together.

    Jack Plate

    Does anyone have a jack plate that allows the motor to be lowered below the normal height of the transom, or are they all designed to raise the motor? I have a recently purchased 22' aluminum Bayrunner with a 24.5' transom. It has a 90 HP long shaft Honda that sits too high and has a...

    Same part?

    Is the five inch spacer that goes on the midsection of a extra long (25 inch) BF115 the same as one for a BF90. I know the lower units are different, but I'm hoping that if I pick up one of these used that is really cheap I won't have to sell a kidney to pay for a new one.

    Won't shut down

    My F100 is starting to do this..... it's running so well that it doesn't want to stop. I turn off the key and it keeps on running without a miss, I pull the kill switch and it continues to run. If I rev the motor up a little in neutral and drop the throttle back down it might shut off. I tried...
