    What's that noise? D'OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We spent most of the weekend at some friends' lake house. We had to be back Sunday morning for my niece's baptism, so the plan was to go ahead and trailer the barge Saturday night so we wouldn't have to get up as early Sunday morning. As always, the admiral backed the trailer in flawlessly, then...

    18XD Starting Issue

    I have a Merc 18XD. Not sure the year, but it's mid eighties and was made in Belgium. I bought it last winter and used it a few times with no issues at all. Started easy, ran great. A few weeks ago I backed it in, pushed the button and it started right up, ran for half a minute or so then died...

    Best Inflatable for me

    Okay, I've been bitten by the inflatable bug. I bought a little Intex Seahawk earlier this summer to test the waters (pun intended). It's a great little raft given the low price point, but now that I know I'll enjoy an inflatable I'm starting to think about getting something a little bigger and...

    Suddenly Started Smoking at Startup

    I have a 2002 90 horse two stroke Merc on my party barge. The last couple of times out (week or so between trips) she's smoked quite a bit at initial start up. Once she's warm the smoking stops and doesn't reoccur for the rest of the day, weekend, etc. I'm not having any performance issues and...

    Tow Vehicle

    Okay. Strictly speaking this is not boat related, but it kind of is and I know from previous threads there are some knowledgeable brains to be picked. My current TV and daily driver is a 2005 GMC 1500 Sierra Z71. I like the Sierra fine, but I'm always on the lookout for a 3/4 ton that makes...

    Need a Transom Saver?

    Over the weekend the family and I were out on the barge and had another family along. My buddy was driving while I was grilling some dead critters. Yes, it was as fun as it sounds.:cool: Anywho, while we were cruising I took a peek at the motor and I noticed water squirting into the pod on the...

    Prop Nut

    I replaced the prop on my 2002 90 horse Merc the other day. I put the new one on just like the old one, prop, tab washer (bent three tabs), snugged down prop nut. To my knowledge that's correct. I'm just wondering what prevents the prop nut from falling off if it manages to vibrate loose...

    Torque on Prop Nut

    I read that a prop nut is supposed to be tightened to 50 foot pounds of torque. How important is that? I just replaced mine and snugged it down really well with an 1 1/8 socket. Do I need to get a torque wrench? Do they even make one that will get inside the cavity to reach the prop nut? If no...

    Alarm

    So I'm just curious. I have a 2002 90 horse Merc. on my party barge. Runs great. Couldn't be happier, but reading some of the threads has given me cause to wonder about my temp/oil alarm. I know I have one because I've seen it. Is it supposed to chirp at me when I start the motor or do anything...

    new prop?

    I couldn't decide whether to post this here or in the prop section, so I flipped a coin.;) Here goes. I have a 21' Suntracker with a 90 horse Merc propped with an aluminum three blade Solas 13.75x15. I'm very happy with the rig, but I've started pondering whether I should consider a different...

    Tell Us Where You're From

    Guys and gals, it's been mentioned before, but please indicate where you live in your profile. Folks are posting "what's it worth" threads that really can't be discussed intelligently without some knowledge of where the item is being bought or sold. Not only that, it's just nice to know where...

    Am I being taken?

    I have a 2002 90hp Merc. I dropped it off Monday for a new water pump impeller. They confirmed that it would be around $150. They just called and said they replaced the impeller, but they also had to replace the starter solenoid and the bill was over $325. I used it all last weekend and have...

    Can't believe he bought it

    My buddy left a fishing rod on the front of my barge over the weekend. Somehow the bail opened and line spooled out while we were under way. By the time he realized what was going on and started reeling quite a bit of line had come out under the boat. We enjoyed the rest of our evening and...

    Cooling/Water Intake

    I have a 2002 90hp Merc two stroke on a party barge. I noticed today that my water pressure wasn't what it normally is. The motor was pumping water and cooling, but the pressure just wasn't up to normal levels. I was floating in the water and started looking at it, and what I found was a little...

    Almost there

    Okay, we've been using the party barge this summer, but I've just about got her like I want her now. Had the tubes pressure checked and leaks fixed, finally got new tires on the trailer, which was an ordeal because I ended up having to order them (long story that played out over in Trailers and...

    Insurance

    I was reading a thread a few weeks ago involving insurance. It got a little contentious (imagine that:rolleyes:), but I benefitted from it. Umbrella coverage eventually made its way into the discussion, and as a result I called my agent to ask him about it. To make a long story somewhat shorter...

    New Toy, Long Narrative

    I'm normally a metal guy, but I picked up a little Intex Seahawk II last week and used it over the weekend. Had a great time with it and will definitely be using it more. Took a buddy and his son down a river with a few little rapids and a bunch of trees, deadheads, and that type of stuff. I was...
