    Homemade Livewell?

    What size kicker?!?

    Hey guys I am looking for a little kicker/trolling motor for my 16' starcraft that is a kind of quiet and will push me against the wind/ current. I have a nice little 9.9 that is a little too big for my transom with the main motor (and it weighs 72 lbs.) I also have a Clinton/ Montomery Ward...

    Mercury 650 Ran great, until today : (

    Okay guys, I have been working on a merc 650 for a while, and I got it running great with some sea foam and a lower unit overhaul. I had never had the motor in actual water, but on muffs it always started up easily, and idled great once I got it warmed up. We took it out for the first time...

    1996 Evinrude 28hp skips a beat

    Hey fellas. My buddy has a '96 28hp Evinrude that starts great, idles okay, and does great at upper RPMs. Right above idle, the motor seems to misfire and gets a little 'clunky'. I was thinking that there is an issue in the ignition system. Do you all agree? This motor has an ignition coil...

    MerControl Control unit question.

    Hey guys I have a little issue with my control unit. It is a MerControl from the early-mid sixties. In the Seloc manual it is described as the "early" version of the shifters.

    Since you guys have all helped me so much on my lower unit venture (Faztbullet, Emckelvey, ThumbPkr, etc.) that I decided to post my venture, and the differences that I noticed between the 150hp and 65hp housings.

    Another Sea Foam Testimonial.

    I always hear all these great things about Sea Foam. It was created in the 40's specifically for outboard motors. Anyways I got a Merc 650 that I have been working on, and I didn't have a chance to fire the motor up for a test run when I bought it because the lower unit was shot. I spent $650 on...

The seal in the bottom of the base is stuck and I dont know what other methods to do to try and separate them. (Mercury 650 thunderbolt) In the newer models they have a place to screw a screw into...

    One more Question aboutMercury lower unit interchangeability.

    Thanks to Faztbullet, I have found out the gear ratios of the lower units that I have been plagued with, as well as the part #'s to the tools that I need.

    Where can I buy an extension kit for an 81 Johnson 9.9 shaft?

    Does anyone have any idea where to purchase an extension kit for johnson 9.9 to convert it to a longshaft? Ebay rarely has any, and the dealers no longer sell the driveshaft. I have a really nice motor and want to keep it instead of sell/trade it. Thanks guys!!
