    small runabout hulls, wake size ???

    So would all of the hulls make a similar ski wake? In other words crummy. I understand that by design they aren't good for serious skiing with a deep v and the engine in the back. But the other day I was looking at a Bryant 188 and it looked super flat in the center of the hull, much different...

    Mercruiser prop fitment/hub question.

    I'm here with this new (to me) prop and the boat is a couple of hours away so that's why I ask. On my 2007 Mercruiser Alpha I will this prop install as is? Couple of washers and a nut? It just looks like there's so much depth on either side of the hub, but without the boat here now I'm just...

    3.0 plugs

    Is there a known "best spark plug" for the 3 litre Mercruiser? Is the NGK-BPR6EFS, box 3623 the standard? Any known issues or advantages with the Iridium UR6IX IX, box 7348?

    Help! Main fuse keeps blowing.

    The 20 amp fuse near the battery has blown out three times in the last two days. It happens when I move the throttle back into neutral quickly. I've searched and read about purple wires, accessories, and the shift interupt circuit. One thing I'm wondering about is our kind of old battery. Could...

    Looking for small deep cycle

    I had one from Fleet Farm for about five years but it's finally given up. Now I see they only sell the full size battery which is over kill for a small electric motor in our 14' boat. Any ideas?

    input needed on fixing up 2007 Glastron, rub rail, etc.

    Hi guys, We've got a 2007 GT185 with low hours and a near mint interior. However, the exterior has taken a bit of a beating. 1. The rub rail has a chunk out of it on the starboard side. Unfortunately, it's part of the black strip and the white above it. Is this anything a somewhat mechanical...

    Saw this bad boy at Wal Mart today!

    No clue what this is or where it's going but it was at a Wal Mart along I-94 in western Minnesota. I had to check it out and take a couple of pics.

    How sensitive is the 3.0 to float height? Near stall when brought to neutral.

    2007 3.0 TKS Anyone here have to mess with it? Our 3.0 runs okay but when you pull it quickly back to neutral the rpm's drop momentarily to <300. It's very brief and then right back up to idle. It doesn't quite kill but you think it's going to every time. Does every one else's do this? The...

    What Mercury controls are these?

    1992 115. Just wondering. I'm gonna help someone replace the throttle cable and I don't see an obvious way to disassemble this or just remove the cable end. Thanks.

    Anyone had this happen after a boat sale?

    It comes right back. I sold our Larson runabout, 115 Merc today and was very happy. But then only an hour later it was back in my driveway. Crap! The new owners (family friends) put the boat in a local lake and didn't get anywhere. The throttle cable is broke. Wow! How do you like that timing?!

    Help me get newer 3.0 running right!!!

    I'm working on a 2007 Glastron with a Mercruiser TKS 3.0. I can use it but I can't believe it's running correctly the way the idle varies and the difficulty of starting. It's a new boat to us last fall, but with the late spring we've just had a few hours to play with it. Fyi, it runs super on...

    Can I replace this plug?

    It leaks around the plastic piece, not through the actual plug. I bought the boat and it had a bunch of regular silicone around it. So can I replace the whole thing and fix this correctly? Is this how they came from the factory? I believe it's a 1961 Alumacraft.

    Is this trailer for a 12' or 14' boat?

    It's a 14' Lund in the photo but look how it's almost up to the coupler. The trailer has bunks so it's really hard to launch the boat, you almost have to drive the truck in the water to float the boat. If you move the winch back there's negative tongue weight. I'm not sure what to do.

    New guy here with new boat and questions.

    Hello, I'm new here and just purchased a 2007 Glastron GT185 with the 3.0l. We're going to use it for general boating on a small, 600 acre lake. It's a beautiful boat although one side is beat from a dock. The interior is like new however. There's lots to love here but of course I have a few...

    How do I check the brakes on this trailer???

    2007 Glastron trailer. It got the once over from the dealer and one of the points he made was I may want to bleed the brakes. How can I check if they are working? I'm not sure how to activate them in the driveway. I guess if I could do that I could bleed them. I've done many brake jobs including...

    How to mixture cap, 3.0

    I thought the mixture screw was actually capped. Nothing came up on the search here. Where are guys with the newer 3.0's setting theirs? I first removed the front brass plug. It looked like an emulsion tube inside there. Whoops! I replugged and painted.

    New prop out of balance. Where's this gonna go?

    Just got a new Solas, four blade, aluminum prop from iboats. First thing I did was put it on the balance stand and swung like a pendulum. Not good. I ordered this to use this weekend so I'm kinda pissed. Especially after I learned Solas has no phone number and iboats closes at 6pm! How...
