    A complete change of course....stupid boat show! $$$

    So, some may remember my dilema regarding purchasing a bayliner 175 or 195 discovery. Well I went to the boat show today, what fun, a little info overload and a lot of eye opening. Before going too far, I am not bashing Bayliner, they've come a long way and they are still nicely built boats...

    175, 195, or 195 with fish package...warning: very long winded

    Okay, all the boats I am looking at are 2008 models...being new..include galvanized trailers, and have out the door pricing (taxes, shipping, prep, safety equipment, liscencing). I'm torn in the end. I know a lot of people are going to tell me to go to a different manufacturer, but I shopped...

    86 Merc 50Hp Fluid Leak

    Before I pull the lower unit apart, just curious if these motors have an overflow for the gear oil? I just changed the lower unit fluid prior to the last run of the year, and ran all day in very rough water. Everything seemed fine all day, other then a bit of a docking error (ran aground in...

    Looking for Charger Info

    I've got a charger from a friend of mine, it's labled as an OMC 505036 10 Amp 3 Stage Automatic 12/24V Battery Charger. Rated output is 10A at 12Vdc. It has two LED's on it, one green and one red. Also I noticed it has two heavy gauge wires to EACH terminal clip which I thought was odd. It goes...

    Vortex Prop Problems

    Just got a new Vortex prop (my old stock prop was pretty much destroy) and am having a problem installing it. When I leave the prop nut loose it seems to rotate fine...however once I tighten everything down it starts to have a bit of run out....I don't think it's the prop shaft, as the old prop...

    How Much Lower Unit Oil?

    1986 Mercury 50, 30 Cyl, 2 Stroke I am planning on replacing the lower unit oil after changing out the impeller, and was curious, how much oil do I need? My local dealer sells it in one litre bottles only, and I don't want to buy too much. The dealer isn't very helpful, as they would prefer I...

    Mystery boat....

    Well I got this old 1976 G.A. Pawson Ltd hull, Model: "Lightning". It's about 13 1/2' overall length plus the outboard engine. I am debating restoring it (already it pretty good condition minus the osmossis). But was wondering if anyone had heard of this manufacturer. At close inspection I don't...

    A little rattle never hurt no one...hopefully..

    1986 Merc 50 3cyl 2stroke. Finally got it running up to plane after finding a bad plug. A little question though, at about full throttle there is a faint random rattle sound from the engine. If I drop the throttle from full fast the rattle is very pronounced. The engine is whisper quiet from...

    Carb Troubles

    Engine: Mercury 50 Serial #: A952338 3 Cylinder 2 Cycle I believe this engine to be an '86 model with dual carbs. The carbs are fairly simple compared to some I have seen...but then I have never been very good with carbs. My problem, I can start, and get the engine running just fine. While...
