    2016 Four Winns H190 snap in cover replacement

    I would be extremely surprised to find a pre made cover that actually fit. Most over the counter covers are not trailer able or their life is shortened by doing so. Best bet for your money, is to bite the bullet and get a custom fitted cover, expensive yes, but longer life, no leaking, no...

    Looking for a manual and any general information on this motor i recently aquired from a friend .

    That might be a tough find, those were not very popular, so finding one might be a challenge. Post wanted ads, look at all the sales platforms, check the antique outboard assoc. Gotta be one out there somewhere !

    Caffeine good for sleepy old guy ?

    Same here, came from a family of coffee drinkers. Late in life started having gut issues, dropped to one cup in the morning only, gut is doing much better! Mother passed due to cancer issues, coffee was partly to blame for her issues. Some folks can handle it and others have issues, just...

    LOWER END OIL CHANGE

    Get a " low head" bolt....looks just like a factory plug but has a hex drive in the center. Often the outside dia of the head is to big to fit the recess so chuck up the bolt and grind the head dia down until it fits. Much easier than messing with a slotted head screw !

    boat snap on covers

    Look around and see if you gave some old car collecters and reconstruction clubs in tour area. Often these guys do there own upholstery, overhead trims etc. They often do boat covers in the side to stay busy as it takes the same equipment to do both. I gave had a couple made by these guys over...

    Nobody fishing?

    Years back a friend had access to a private lake that held monster size bluegills. Due to heavy weed cover there were no skiers or jet skis running all over. He and I would go out and get our 30 per person limit in a few hours, only keeping those 9" or over, often finding gills over 10"...

    cowl air inlet on mercury 9.9.

    Where the grab handle is located, there should be an intake up near the top so water can't get in. Can be hard to see, check for wasp/bees nests there. Blow air up into the area and you should feel air moving. It could be possible that it became blocked somehow, but that is where all have...

    boat snap on covers

    Like everything else, what are you going to do with it and how long do you expect it to last ? Water tight or just to keep debris out ? Just keeping debris out and most of the water, then an over the counter general purpose will work. You will need to add extra support to keep the cover tight...
