    Best Deep Cell Marine Batteries

    As the OP didn't say what they being hooked up to, I would say a Flooded Cell Battery would be the safest choice. Costco has a few Marine Batteries, but it appears that they some kind of Hybred Starting/Deep Cycle. However Costco has a replacement Policy that is hard to beat

    Does the Boat have a Glove Box, or any other storage Compartments? The Key may be in there

    I was ‘That’ guy at the ramp coming in yesterday.

    That looks like an Adjustable Trailer. The Winch Stand has to be raised a considerable amount to get the Bow Stop about the Eye, as you also want the Winch Line pulling Horizontally not up or down as it passes under the Bow Stop(you might have to wrap the Winch Strap/Cable the opposite direction...

    Custom Built Trailers, for a specific Boat/Hull, are usually non-adjustable Could you post a few Pictures of your Boat on the Trailer?

    How To Remove This Prop Help Needed

    From what I recall about that kind of Security Nut, was that the Barrel that Surrounds the Nut, is free to rotate, so as to prevent the use of Vise Grips. Time to dig out the Dremel

    If it were built for a different Hull, I hope that it properly supports your Boat

    Can't sync my 2003 25 hp 2 stroke...

    In hindsight, asking about the Throttle Lever travel and thus Throttle Cable travel, should have been obvious. A Thumbs Up to Mc Tool for pointing towards the Control Box in Post #8

    How To Remove This Prop Help Needed

    Ditto on the Security Nut on the Prop, a real pain when you don't have the Key. I really am not fan of these, as there is no locking of the Prop Nut preventing it from backing off on its own,

    And the Eye should be below the Stop, whether it is a Roller or a V Block

    If the Strap goes under the Bow Stop on the Winch Stand, how would it get pulled above it?

    Sputtering Johnson V4 90hp - 1994

    How long after you were done the seafoam treatment, did you replace the plugs? If you replaced them, right after using the Stuff, and before you ran the Engine, that may have fouled them Have you looked at them? Keep in mind, these engines do not sit and purr like an Auto Engine at idle, well...

    Sputtering Johnson V4 90hp - 1994

    I know that when using Engine Cleaner, or Combustion Chamber Cleaner, after the stuff had sat in the Motor for a while, a Full Throttle Run either at the Lake, or on a Dyno was done to clear all the stuff out.

    Sputtering Johnson V4 90hp - 1994

    Perhaps the SeaFoam(I am one of the 'there are better Snake Oils than SeaFoam' people), fouled the Plugs, I can't remember if you had checked them Until you get all the missing, damage parts on the Linkage replaced, variations in Timing, and the Carbs-Ignition Sync is likely, and that can make...

    It is running faster than Idle, so it isn't 'popping' much

    Mercury classic 40hp two stroke

    Merc never used to specify a Number. Instead they would say as long as the Numbers weren't lower than 15% of the Highest you were good to go. Of course if the Highest was low... Gauges can be wonky too. Personally if any were lower than 105 - 110, I would be Leary, but that is just me Those are...
