    Water under front of power head

    Have a 1994 Merc 125 HP. Put a leg extension kit on a while back and started for the first time since I installed the kit. While running the pee hole flow was great, but a huge amount of water was coming out below the front of the powerhead. I'm thinking the water tube from the drive to the...

    In the process of Sanding?

    After I started sanding off the Canadian Tire crap paint that was peeling off my recently acquired Sangster boat, I read I was to degrease before sanding... I'm sanding down into a second layer that has to go then should be good to prep for primer. How big a deal was it not to degrease before...

    Spray Epoxy?.

    I changed a I/O hull to a outboard. I have my 3/8” plywood pieces for the motorwell cut and capped with 1-1/8” wooden dowel. I’m looking at matting and fibreglassing the pieces and wondering if there isn’t a easier way than cutting and applying Mat and fiberglass to encapsulate the pieces. Many...

    Using 2 different epoxy brands

    I am epoxying a layer of new mat on a section of floor I replaced. My question is I may run out of the epoxy I'm using and have to buy a different brand. Can I use the new brand while the first epoxy has been applied and still wet or does it need to cure first then carry on with the new epoxy?

    1993 90hp and 1994 125hp.

    The short question is will the trim tilt unit from the 1993 90hp serial 0D237792 part number 818903A1 work on the serial 0G086789 1994 125 hp part number 824051. From what I can gather the 90hp is a two wire unit same part number as units used on 1994 125 hp but a later serial number than mine...

    Volvo to Mercruiser

    This boat had a Volvo penta outdrive and Chrysler slant Six in it. I got a 170 mercruiser setup to go in it, would the boat motor mounts work or would they require some modification. I don't have the 170 handy to measure. I have some transom work to do obviously including cutting a new transom hole.

    Is this the aluminum head 470.

    Is this engine worth the trouble of installing? Or is this the one I read all over to stay away from. Like all according to the seller it runs good. In a 1989 Apollo boat.

    Outboard pod

    I have a older Sangster I’d like to put a engine pod on. I have a pod that was built for a houseboat that is 1/4” thick. I’m wondering if that is adequate to handle the torque. It would need some modification for use as a pod for my 125hp Mercury. I have a welder/fabricator lined up for the...

    Is 125 Hp ok for this boat?

    I have this 19 ft Sangster boat and wondering if a 125 mercury OB is not to big. Can’t find anything on the net or in the boat. Had a old slant six in it? Switching to outboard. Can put a jack plate on or might cut transom and make a splash well.
