    Yamaha 115 dies when loading

    I have a Yamaha 115 that starts and runs fine. When I load the boat on the trailer and try to power it up to the V, the engine loses power and dies. I am guessing this is due to the motor being trimmed up and since it's a carb'd engine, not getting fuel at that angle?? Anyone else have this...

    I have a 55 lb thrust trolling motor on a Stratos 275 Pro XL bass boat. Just bought the bought and while the trolling motor seems to work fine, I notice the entire shaft moving or flexing quite a bit everytime I engage the prop.

    Will acetone or toluene break down cured 3m 5200

    I have use 3m5200 to seal small leaks in the bottom of my aluminum bass boat and it worked good. I was going to spray some of that truck bedliner over that for a final seal and noticed it had toluene and acetone in it. Does anyone know if that will affect the cured 3m 5200? Thanks.

    Stiff Steering

    I have a 1985 Lowe 17' fish and ski with a 1987 Mariner 90 that I bought off a guy. The boat sat exposed to the weather for a year and I am just about finished with fixup/cleanup. I have noticed when I took it out the steering seems to be kind of stiff. I put two or so pumps of marine grease...

    Water coming in through bildge pump outlet?

    If the bilge pump is working properly should I be taking a little water in from the outlet on the side. The outlet is located near the back on the left side and I notice it rides only about 1/2" above the water line. It's under the water line when I lean over to look at it. I suspect this is...

    Battery Charging while running??

    Hi all. I have a 1987 Mariner 90 and was wondering, does the cranking battery charge while the motor is running? I know there's no alaternator but is there a magneto or something that provides a charge while running? Kind of new to boating so excuse the question if it's a silly one? Thanks.

    Mariner 90HP outboard year

    I just bought a bass boat with a 90HP Mariner with the serial number 0B208477. Cant seem to find a match online that determines year of the motor. If I drop the leading "0" I "think" it's a 1987 model. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
