    Need Controls

    I need a set of controls for a 1990 75 Merc 3 cylinder. The iboat store seems geared to those who are more mechanically inclined. They show several TeleFlex boxes without cables or wiring harnesses. I have it narrowed down to needing a side mount, with trim , I see several cables so I am...

    Possible problem

    I have a 1990 75 Merc with a jet unit. How hard should it be to turn it over grabbing the flywheel? Mine seems fairly easy to turn over. This fact plus there seems to be a slight grinding sound/feel as I turn it over.

    Big thanx to iboats!

    Combing through the forums I found yet another nugget! I didn't even think about the boat "warping" with the stringers removed. Since I don't have a trailer a trip to the lumber yard is in order to get another 6x6 for a main beam, then I will use various lengths of 2x6 with wedges cut to fit...
