    Changing oil on 2006 Mercury 4 stroke

    Did my first oil change on my 2006 Mercury 4 stroke. What do you guys do to keep the oil from going everywhere when you pull off the filter? I think next time, I am going to pierce the filter and catch as much oil as I can before I unscrew it.

    Outdrive oil

    Re: Outdrive oil Older manuals all said 30W or 10W30. None said 10W-40. This is for the V8 engines which is what the OP has. This is what current Volvo manuals say: I use Mobil 1 15W50 in my engine.

    Not the bellows leaking, so?????

    Re: Not the bellows leaking, so????? Like I said in your other thread, that gasket does absolutely nothing keeping the water out of your bellows. Gasket around the water intake also has no connection. Put some grease on the nose cone of the drive where it pushes against the bellows. That is...

    Pontoon Prop

    I have a 2006 21' Suntracker with a 90HP fuel injected Mercury that I recently purchased. I will be using the boat at a lake at 6700' elevation. Current prop is a 14 x 13P model number QA2832X13P. My plan is to bring it up to the lake to see how it works but I will likely need to drop some...

    IP camaras

    Re: IP camaras I have a Foscam that points out the front window of a cabin we have up in the mountains. They are nice easy to use cameras for how little they cost. Here is a snapshot from it.

    volume control

    Re: volume control I did an excel spread sheet and plotted the percent difference between an 8 ohm L-pad driving 4 or 8 ohm speakers and it shows a dip in the center but the ends are pretty close. Looked at Sam's plot and it jives with his. Did you wire it correctly? It will do very strange...

    New Pontoon Cover

    I promised that I would post some of the steps I did to make my pontoon cover so here goes. This is what the old cover looked like. I believe it is the Dowco cover that SunTracker charges over $800 for. Not impressed with the material or how it was constructed for that price. First thing to...

    what is the knack in putting the stern drive back on?

    Re: what is the knack in putting the stern drive back on? Of course the manual says otherwise! :facepalm: Step 17. Doing it in gear can bend the shift rod. There drives are already temperamental with their shift adjustments. Bending the vertical shift rod will do you no favors. Step #21 is...
