    Proper method to charge marine battery

    I've checked several threads, but didn't come up with the black & white answer I wanted. I've seen several that you remove the battery from the boat, but I keep the boat & trailer in the garage, easy access to the battery. I would prefer to just hook the battery charger to the + & - posts and...

    Bleed System

    With the boat stored in the garage for the winter, this would be a good time for me to familiarize myself with the Mercury repair manuel and parts list. The 115hp 2001 outboard is running perfect, so I don't want to stick my fingers into something I don't fully understand, but I know that...

    Autopilot for 8hp mercury trolling motor

    I am looking for a affordable autopilot for my trolling motor. I saw on one of these threads the mention of a Simrad AP-12R autopilot.

I have a starting battery and another 12 volt battery to run the fish locator and auxillary plug in. The weight in the back (with my fat rear added) causes water to come into the...

    Stainless Steel Mystery

    I run my boat with a 115hp Mercury in the Fall and Winter months. Encountering debris and maybe a rock or two that didn't use to be there last trip out, I switched to a stainless prop from aluminum. Was told that stainless would hold up better and last longer. Now I find out that I am in danger...

    Boat Tank Wiring

    I have a '86 aluminum 18' starcraft. I believe it would be classified as a super sport, but not 100% sure. When I purchased the boat, the wiring was a nightmare. The previous owner used extension cord and some wires were hooked up and some were just cut off and laying in the battery area. I...

    Fuel Tank Wiring

    i have an 18' starcraft with the fuel tank located in the floor. There are 3 wires that go to the aluminum tank. A white w/gold stripe, a black and a pink. The white and the black start at the battery compartment (nothing was hooked up), and the pink started at the fuel gauge and goes to the...
