    Question about a jet drive

    2005 Johnson 90 HP with a jet drive. Is it as simple as drop the jet drive and pop in a complete outdrive or is there more to it? Im looking at a motor with a jet drive but would feel better if I had a backup outdrive for down the road replacement.

    Low profile motor?

    I have a 1985 mercruiser 5.7L that I hooked up to a SEI outdrive. It sticks up above the old floor level and I had to build a 12 inch high doghouse around the top of the motor. Which i don't like and with a smaller back deck think its a tripping hazard. The 1976 Fiberform used to have a type R...

    Mercruiser outdrives

    Are any mercruiser outdrives for 6 cylinder engines (depending on model I suppose) useable on a 8 cylinder engine or are they to light? Thank you. I have a alpha one on my 5.7 setup but know of a inline six setup with a good outdrive that might be had for cheap. I guess it's all about gear...

    8 or 9.9 hp

    I have a 21 foot Fibreform with a flying bridge. Looking to switch my kicker and wondered if a 8 hp would do it. 9.9's seem to be the norm, is there that much of a drop off that the 8 hp wouldn't do the job. In rough water I'd be using the inboard. Thanks for input.

    Trailer guide

    I have a 22 foot Fibreform with a flying bridge on a older Eze loader trailer. I often fish by myself and have run into trailering issues if the waters a little rough. So I'm thinking of adding trailer guides. If anyone has experience in the pros and cons of guide boards 6 feet or so on each...

    CB and vhf radio

    While we I have a C.B. And a VHF in a boat I just finished remodelling and haven't used yet. Do those radios have built in speakers or do I need speakers. There were two speakers for the tape deck and radio that were falling out so I took them out. Would they be for the CB or Vhf. Is there a...
