    Replace 1990 Mercury 100hp power trim switch - NEED HELP

    Somehow, I really banged the power trim switch hard and maybe broke it. It is located on top of the shift/throttle lever. I can remove the Quicksilver face plate and hot wire the power trim and confirm it works, but I cannot get to the switch on top of the lever. How do I replace the switch?

    oil level + temp warning module 1990 Merc 100 4cyl 2X2

    I suspect my oil level+temp module is bad. I've read many threads, and false alarms seem to be common. The module sits on the starboard side (right side looking back to front of engine) of my 4 cyl 2X2 oil injected Mercury. It is black, and about 1" x 2". It intermittently beeps even though...

    idea for bilge plug alternative

    My boat sits on a hoist out of the water when not in use. The back of the boat sits over 8' of water. I cannot reach the bilge plug to remove it to drain the boat after a heavy rain. On my old boat, I could remove the plug at all times in the hoist so heavy rains would just run out, then...

    What pitch - '89 100hp Mercury

    I don't have an owner's manual. Can anyone tell me if 19 is the standard prop pitch from the factory for a 1989 100hp oil injection Mercury 2x2?. I need to buy a new prop and would like to know what the factory recommends for best all around use.

    merc 100hp 1989

    I'm looking at an '89 100hp (oil injection, 4 carbs). Apparently, at idle and low speeds it runs on bottom 2 cylinders, then top 2 kick in when rpms go over about 1,200. The motor has low hours, good compression, new impeller and rebuilt carbs. Anything I should know about this vintage 100hp...

    sea nymph 195 HELP!!

    I need some help. I'm very close to buying a '96 Sea Nymph 195 O/B. The seller says it is a "Walleye" model, but it sounds very much like the GLS model. I want to make sure before I drive 3+ hours to look it over. The seller doesn't have a digital camera so cannot take pictures of the inside...

    sea nymph 195

    Does anyone know the difference between the Sea Nymph Great Lakes Special 195 and the Sea Nymph Walleye 195? They are both O/B with walk-thru windshield and pedestal seats. Does the GLS have more freeboard than the Walleye? Or is someone referring to a GLS as a "Walleye"? Any thoughts or...

    Grumman 21'

    I'm considering at a 21' Grumman O/B. It is a mid-90's Great Lakes model. It has a great design, high freeboard, and comes well equiped. I believe it is riveted, not welded, but I haven't been able to confirm as I haven't personally looked at it and the seller isn't positive which it is...

    Your opinion on Crestliner 1860 SST

    Please give me your opinions if you have used the Crestliner Phantom 1860 SST on big water. I fish Lake Michigan for salmon and steelies. I want to replace an old, tired 18' Starcraft center console with a Crestliner. I am looking at an 1860 SST (extended transom). All looks OK, but I am...

    How to fix transom leak?

    After 3 hours of 2mph trolling for salmon on big, rolling water, I pump out 2+ gallons of bilge water from my 18' CC. I visually inspected all the rivet areas and see no indication of loose rivets. I think water is seeping in at the seam around the transom where the transom meets the aluminum...
