    It is hard to find motors this well taken care of.....

    I have had this motor for a while now. L-O-V-E it. She has never let me down, and all she has ever needed was a waterpump, thermostat, and input line grommet. Now, I did pay $400 and $100 in parts, so it wasn't exactly cheap, but definately one of the best buys that I have ever made. She had...

    Should I buy the Johnson 4R70E opinions??

    Homemade Livewell?

    Hey guys I have made a few cooler livewells in my day. I am now on the brink of making a livewell for shad. It needs to be round, and anywhere between 10-30 gallons. I made a small minnow livewell out of a 5 gallon drinking water cooler, and it will keep minnows alive all day with a simple...

    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. There is a shift/control handle and a neutral throttle lever. The shift lever shifts the gears into F-N-R with no issues...

    Mercury 650 850 1400 1500 water pump change.

    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...

    Ok guys I know you have heard this question before. There is a little metal bar that comes down in front of the cam shift shaft on the motor. Where does this get put when the lower unit is slapped back on? I put the unit on and all seemed well (I had the motor and lower unit in neutral when I...
