    '72 Merc Model 110 9.8HP Ignition Problems

    Great. Now you can come and fix mine. Runs great, smooth, full acceleration in reverse. Only get 1/4 or maybe 1/3 throttle in forward and then it bogs down. Well, glad yours is running well now.

    depth finders and speakers stopped working

    Maybe a fuse, a switch, or old bad wiring. Gonna have to disconnect and diagnose one at a time. Everything should have its own fuse. Trolling motor and its batteries should not be connected to any of the other wiring in the boat.

    Going from 8" to 12" wheels -fender clearance?

    The only way to know if this will work is to know how much your springs flex. If they are stiff, you should be ok. If the trailer bounces like a bobble head doll, the tires might rub. Gonna have to try it. The tires will leave a black mark up inside the fender if it rubs. You might be able to...

    Opinion on types of starting batteries

    There have been as many discussions here about batteries, as there has been about oil. You can spend $200, or up to $1500 on a couple of batteries, your choice. Why would you change from what you have? Why would you need bigger? A single group 24 will start a 4.3l. Please pass the

    New Lund Owner

    Would it be possible to reconfigure one of the support braces under the swim platform, then cut the platform down to about 2/3's it current size? That way you could use the kicker set up that is already in place. Oh, if you listed the kicker model correctly, ( EL ) it is an Electric start Long...

    Small cheap roof for storage?

    Got trees ? Or a tree and a flagpole? Or a tree and a utility pole? Or a tree and a garage? Park the boat between them. Run 3/16" cable between the trees, about 12' up. Drape heavy duty plastic tarp over cable and down over boat. Secure to trailer with 3/16" para-cord. Make it tight so the...

    Can't see my boat

    I doubt you will ever see your tires, unless you use a remote back up camera placed under your trailer. Thats why it important to make sure your tires and brakes are in perfect running condition, and that they are properly inflated, and replaced before they get too old, or suffer dry rot...

    Tiller kicker with controls? Possible?

    You can set up with mechanical controls, but difficult, if you have room. Better to spring for a hand held remote system. Panther makes a steering system, and others do as well. Same with speed controls like itroll. Trollmaster Python Tailfin Panther ConTROLLKing I don't know how it handles...

    Mercury tower of power years

    Big price drop ! Beware. Nobody drops their price 40% on a phone call. Sounds like a scam to me. Maybe not. Is the sellers name kevin crough, ? The 140 not worth much in my opinion, unless it is pristine and you have an old boat to put it on, it is fully functional, and seller can demonstrate...
