    gear oil drain plug alternative to slotted screw driver?

    Alpha One, Gen2: Has anyone come across a drain plug that uses an allen key instead of slotted screwdriver? The slot on what I have is almost gone so I want to replace it but not with the same thing that will give me the same problem in a few years. I remember buying a replacement for my 90HP...

    Mercruiser 3.0 rough idle at start and stumbles momentarily during acceleration

    I have a 2001 Bayliner 175 with Mercruiser 3.0L engine. Does not have TKS. Bought it last fall, have had it on the water since late May. It drives well enough that I feel comfortable using it for cruising around the lake, towing tubes and water skiers etc. It will cruise all day at 35+ MPH...

    2001 Bayliner 175 bumper mounting location?

    So I am going to be putting my new (to me) 2001 bayliner 175 into the water this weekend and just realized there is nowhere to mount a bumper towards the bow of the boat. There are cleats on each side at the stern but the only other cleat is mounted right at the tip of the boat. The previous...

    2001 bayliner 175BE what to look for after sitting 4 years?

    This week I am going to look at a 2001 Bayliner 175BE. The owner says its was winterized 4 years ago and it has been stored in shrink wrap in a garage since. If it looks ok I would have a marine mechanic check it over fully before buying but I was wondering if there are obvious signs of problems...

    Problem with Minn Kota Power Drive 55PD - it turns, but prop doesn't spin

    I have a Minn Kota 55PD. The first time I went to use it this year it wouldn't work. It will still turn (change direction) but the prop itself won't go. I can hear a clicking noise in the upper unit so I'm pretty sure the foot control is working. Wondering if the motor itself is toast? Any...

    Help finding an "obsolete" evinrude part for 1995 controls

    I have a 90HP Evinrude E90ELEOC and the trim/tilt switch on the throttle handle shorts out and blows a fuse when you push it down. The control on the motor itself works fine so I am pretty sure the switch in the handle is to blame. The one I need is part # 0395821 from what I can tell...

    1995 Evinrude E90ELEDC fuse location(s)?

    Can anyone tell me where the fuse(s) are located on this motor? Battery is good, but nothing on the motor will work. I went to start it about 30 mins after it ran fine and nothing works. no tilt, trim etc.. I figure it's a fuse but I have no idea where they are located and I can't find any...

    Problem starting 1995 90HP Evinrude Outboard

    So for the last few months our 1995 90HP Evinrude has been giving us intermittent trouble starting. It's like the starter won't engage. At first I thought maybe the flywheel was missing some teeth and so when it would happen to line up with the starter it wouldn't spin, but after reading a bit...

    Four Winns Fling with 90HP Evinrude

    1996 Four winns fling with 90HP motor. So I'm trying to get this thing started this year. Got a new boat so haven't had a lot of time to play with the fling but from what I can tell it's not getting any fuel. It ran fine last year when winterized. I have the factory service manual but it's...

    1996 four winns fling with a 90HP? Need help..

    Hi, This boat came with a cottage we bought last fall. It had already been winterized so we didn't need to worry about it back then. The bill of sale notes it as a 1995 but the serial number on the hull says it is a 96. It has a 90HP Turbojet but from what I read on this forum this wasn't...

    1998 Mercury 2-stroke 15HP impeller replacement?

    Hi, I swear I already posted this but I can't find it now. I tried searching and everything. Anyways, I have a 1998 mercury 15HP 2-stroke and I'm wondering how easy it is to replace the impeller? I've read in a few places that it should be done fairly regularly and I'd be surprised if it's...
