    20p6 Merc 6hp 4 stroke--runs on half choke, revs up and stalls

    Just cleaning the carb may not remove gunk from those teeny tiny passages, use a wire or blow air thru to be sure they are open. If it did run well in the recent past, but doesn't now....you have a blockage somewhere.

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    That is why I bought the charger Time USB recomended, it has the wakeup mode. When folks are spending big money on these batteries why scrimp on a charger that is known to work correctly. One thing I gave learned in my 15 plus years of Lipo battery experience, don't cut corners if you want...

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    Not sure what the recommendations are on the 100 ah battery, I bought the 140 and went with their recommendations on a charger, I figure they made them, they should know what is best ! The 140 ah battery does come with a bigger BMS unit with more safety features, so their advertising states...

    Sterndrive Gear Oil - Alpha 1 Gen 1 3.0 140hp

    I use the bottle that states "for mercruiser stern drives"....right on the bottle ! Not sure what the difference is, but for a couple bucks difference why not go with what the mfgr recomends....they know best !

    Wine glass harmonic sound switching from 3 blade to 4 blade

    Been using them for decades, never an issue, but other brands have been a crap shoot. Then again, as don't use fancy props just std ones.

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    Been around lipo batteries for well over 15 years and all function far better when dropped down to a storage level of charge. Those that have been stored at near full charge have had much shorter life spans or decreased run times. No big deal to discharge them to storage charge. With my...

    TimeUSB LifePO4 battery issues

    Just an update on my Time USB 140 ah battery. With boating season close now, decided to do the first full charge. Was cool because phone app told me what state the charge was in and how long until full charge. Full charge holds 147 ah. Glad to see over the rated capacity. Bought an inverter...

    Critters in My Boat

    There are do it yourself shrink wrap kits and you need a heat gun not a torch. From what I hear they are not cheap but neither is repairing your interior and wiring. Radio noise does not need to be loud, and a couple lights going on and off with a small timer does work, I have used that one...

    Decarb with spring startup Yamaha 200 ox66 2 stroke

    I see very little black crud dripping out and little to no smoke when it starts from the sea foam. If the carbon buildup is heavy, your motor will look like your whole house is on fire !

    1987 mercury 75

    Seller would be lucky to get 200 in my area, for the 450 it would need to be in running order, with everything's by in tact.

    Decarb with spring startup Yamaha 200 ox66 2 stroke

    Unless you do an awful lot of idling, you should not have a decarb issue. I use the sea foam as well, but just spray some into the carb while on its initial startup in my drive on muffs. Let it soak for a short while then run it again. My 1992 Merc doesn't have much buildup,

    Critters in My Boat

    I have had them climb up the walls and the studs, crawl across and drop down from above !!! Back when my grandson had ducks and the mice were after the food. Started using 30 gallon trash can with a plastic bag liner. Once the food was closed up tight, the majority went elsewhere for easier...

    Critters in My Boat

    Yes, and have lights on timers, how often have you saw mice in lighted areas ! Neighbor had two lights in his barn, on timers so one went off, the other went on at different ends of the barn. Another guy used an old scratchy recording of folks talking and walking around. Both methods greatly...
