    How to prevent jack from seizing up? Gets submerged every launch

    I’m on my second jack right now, and I just found out it’s seized when I went to take out my boat for the first time this year. The first jack lasted about 3 years, this one only lasted one summer. Unfortunately due to my trailer design, boat, and just the slope of the launches, I can’t avoid...

    Mercury 1150 Stuck in UP position

    Hi everyone. First post here. I have this 1977 1150 which I bought last week. I was going about getting everything hooked up and had the power trim working correctly. One of the hose connections was leaking at the pump end, and it still needed a bit of bleeding, but it was working. I am using...
