    Maybe a dumb question but here it is:

    My buddy is giving me a bow mounted foot pedal controlled electric trolling motor for my small boat. My bow is kind of high off the water, and the motor shaft is 36" long. I just wondered if I can lengthen the shaft on the free electric motor I am getting? It appears that all I would have to...

    Gas line filter?

    I have a 1990 Nissan 70 H.P. motor. I am planning on installing an in line gas filter to the gas line going from my under floor gas tank to the motor. The filter is made of clear glass with the filter on the inside. It is a throw away filter, in other words, it does not come apart to change...

    I have a 1992 Nissan 70 H.P motor with a tilt control on it. It goes up with no problem at all, and it just started this yesterday, but I had a problem getting the motor to go down. I can hear the tilt click in when I push the down button, but it seems like it is just dead. goes up, but not...

    Primer ball bad??

    Hi guys, I think I know the answer to this question, but before I spend more money on something I just bought, I thought I would ask anyway. I just bought a cheap fuel line with a primer ball on the line for my 6 h.p. trolling Evinrude motor. When I pump the ball now, it does not get...

    Possible leak from livewell plumbing

    I recently bought a 1991 Smoker Craft aluminum boat, 16.2 Magnum model. Has a livewell in the front (open bow area) and a minnow well at the rear area. The first time out, I had water come out of the boat drain. That time, I did not have the plug in the pick up for the livewell water, but I...

    Gas hog?

    I just bought a 1991,16 foot Smoker Craft aluminum boat with a 1991 70 H.P. Nissan motor on it. The motor starts and runs like a brand new motor. No missing, no hesitation at all. She just purrs beautifully! The previous owner told me that the motor probably has 50 to 60 hours on it, and it...

    Motor running goofy

    I have a 1984 Johnson outboard motor, 70 H.P. That runs perfect at low speeds. Every once in a while, at WOT, it seems like I lose one cylinder completely as the motors keeps running but bogs down slower for a few seconds (like 6-7 seconds) then seems like the cylinder kicks back in and runs...

    Force outboard motor opinions

    I am thinking about purchasing a Monark 16 ft boat (aluminum hull) and it has a 40 H.P Force motor on it. The boat, motor and trailer are all from 1998, and they all look like they came out of a show room with no use on them hardly at all. My question: A few people I know told me to stay...

    Hey guys, I don't have any numbers yet until I go and see the boat & motor I am going to look at. The boat is a 1987, & the guy said the motor is a newer Mercury 110 horse power. I wanted to look it up and can not find a 110 Mercury motor for 1987 or any other year. Am I missing it...

    Cannot find gas line filter

    Hi again guys. Some of you may recognize me from a post on the Mercury motor section. I first posted in that section thinking I have a Merc motor when it is indeed an Evinrude.

    6 h.p. Mercury stalling

    I bought a 1986 Mercury motor that has only about 50 hrs on it. I replaced the impeller, and the motor looks like it was just bought. It ran perfect for trolling last year at the beginning of the season, then it started where it was stalling out quite frequently while trolling. I have to pull...
