    fuel lines 1980 2.5L 120 hp Mercruiser

    As long as the "vacuum port" is above the butterflies should it not be ok for the fuel pump vent?

    Tire Pressure

    And doing that with rock hard nylon summer tires at -25 too. I think that's when drifting was invented.

    Need Model number on 10 hp Honda outboard

    I think some jurisdictions required boats to be registered if 10hp and above so it could be for a couple of reasons.

    If you go to their site you can see if the lakes you are interested show depths etc.

    Best Phone App for Charts

    If it's sunny out I have my bimini up. Maybe that allows me to see the phone which is mounted in a holder.

    Next year I'll have to compare the EPE with my plotter. (if I remember):)

    Best Phone App for Charts

    I find mine to be quite accurate and I use it as a backup in some very tricky to navigate areas.

    As icyb said, by using the built in GPS.

    Best Phone App for Charts

    With the Navionics phone app you can download charts beforehand so it can be used without reception. I don't have trouble using it on my phone or tablet.

    Vessel View installation

    2004 might be borderline for having the 10 pin connector on the motor or a junction box at the helm. Perhaps contact Mercury with your engine serial number?

    Need Model number on 10 hp Honda outboard

    On the front of the block/crankcase approximately behind the oil light the model number or serial number should be stamped there.

    Woke up this morning with a tree on the boat

    You might want to check any other critical welds and maybe get them fixed as well. Where it broke does it look perfectly fresh or are there signs that it might have been starting to crack?

    2008 BF15D starter conversion

    Does your motor not have any charging ability at all? Even my 81 and 84 BF75's have 60 watt output. Not much but better than nothing and might keep a starting battery topped up.

    Cut Holes for Improving Engine Access

    Myself, I wouldn't hesitate to go the hole saw route. You might be able to use the plug to cover the hole. If you used a jig saw and cut a square or rectangular hole you might be able to put a hinge on it and use it as a cover.

    1995 Four Winns Horizon 190 depth finder

    If there isn't a transducer on the stern then it's probably in the bilge close to the centerline. They can be epoxied to the hull or some use a thru hull fitting. Either should be obvious.

    Mercruiser 140 barely running and running rough

    Forgot to mention that I noticed the Quicksilver 823427A1 carb kit is identical to the Sierra 18-7070. Same packaging, same parts, same instruction sheets. Only difference was the label and pricing. I suspect that goes for other mercruiser carb kits as well.

    Mercruiser 140 barely running and running rough

    Problem solved hopefully. It now runs great on muffs. I guess 6 years ago when rebuilt the carb I didn't tighten the Float Needle Seat enough. It had backed out quite a bit. I tightened it well, put the carb back together and it runs great. The water coming out the prop exhaust was very sooty...

    Mercruiser 140 barely running and running rough

    Thanks guys. Hopefully I can get a merc 823427A 1 kit tomorrow and don't have to settle for a Sierra kit. Fuel pressure was 5.5 lbs at cranking speed. Will check float condition. Apparently I rebuilt it 6 years ago not 3. Of course today was the last of the good weather. Cool and wet for the...
