    Bayliner 170-185

    What can you guys say about these from 1995 to about 2008? I have a really old boat now and since I have worked the numbers I can get this if I use most of my free cash on one. More in this year range are about the same price about 2-3k difference.

    Right amount of fuel

    Okay so first off I want to say I am not complaining or anything. The engine runs great no problem and the boat reaches the hull's max speed due to being about 2x the max HP. I normally run with a very heavy load. Less than 50kg off max weight. I have a 1977 Mercury 50 HP Outboard engine and I...

    Submerged engine.

    So pretty much we had a **** ton of rain over 2 days and my boat partially sunk. The engine was fully under. It took a few men and some boats to pull it up again. Have it at home now and would like to start working on it this weekend. How should I go about getting it running again?

    Cavitating???

    Hello, so I have a 14ft boat with a 50 HP mercury on it. It seems to run fine with two people but on the rare time it will plane out it starts to cavitate. I am hoping to check tomorrow for a spun hub but if it is not, anyone have an idea what might be going on?

    feel like I might have the wrong prop or be slipping a lot

    So pretty much I can only get 10 mph out of my boat that has a 50hp on it. My boat is 14ft so this 50 is way more than enough to get 25 mph or more but I am not getting there. Had a sting ray added onto the back (mechanic recommended it) and I finally got to about 10 mph compare to my 7 or 8...
