    Where do I find a Johnson SeaHorse 4.5 manual, and what oil do I need to run it with?

    You need 50 parts gas to 1 part 2 stroke oil. You can buy the oil at walmart to west marine. Look up TC-W3 oil. You'll need to check/clean/replace any gas filters, water pump, lower gear case oil, plugs and old gas. That's just a start.

    Mercury xr2 not turning over

    How did the oil look? Was it oil color and hopefully not milk chocolate color. If it looked normal you are probably good to go.

    Mercury xr2 not turning over

    Yup, what he said. If you haven't changed the lower gearcase oil lately do it to make sure there's no leak.

    Fuel not getting to outboard motor

    Agree with KJM. That's more than a drip check the filter bowl is screwed on correctly and any hose clamps are tight.

    White Ground wire

    Good job, that's what I did, other than the electrical tape. Tape won't do much good other than trap water inside. I use liquid tape over the heat shrink.

    Livewell Pump Noisy

    As Kola16 said it's impossible to tell without a hearing the sound. Is it pumping ok? Is it a constant humming sound or does it change pitch?

    Wash Down Pump

    My raw water pump took a crap and I want to replace it. It's rated at 3.5 gpm @ 45 psi. It worked OK, it was free years ago so I can't complain. I'm looking at replacement pumps and have a question. Some pumps I'm looking at are rated for less gpm but higher PSI. What's more efficient in washing...

    Marine hand held radio

    I assumed I made it clear that I'm strictly a saltwater guy and know nothing regarding boating in fresh water. There aren't any freshwater lakes where I live so I have no idea what if any rescue facilities there may be on a lake. I don't know what services the coast guard provide on a lake. Yes...

    Need help with delayed power to trolling motor, Nav lights.

    This doesn't make sense that things are taking minutes to turn on. What size cable are you using for the trolling motor. Adding 32' of cable may make a differance depending on the cable size but should not add a delay in turning on.
