What type of boat do you have the riser plates on? Aluminum? Fiberglass?

I am installing a deck plate in a Crestliner Sabre SST transom splash well. It will have water in it a lot. The deck plate is West Marines Screw-in Deck Plate UV- Resistant ASA Plastic. The package stated to use Silicone but I am finding that I can’t use just any Marine Silicone. Apparently...

Bleed

I had called Mercury and that is what they told me. The 100:1 was at idle then increases to 50:1 at higher speeds. If not true please help me out and share the correct information as I have no idea. They told me if the oiler stops I would get alarms and to only basically idle back to dock. Also...

I have a 2003 Mercury 200 hp Saltwater edition. It is a carbureted Motor. Can the oil pump be removed and a delete kit installed? Premix 50:1 than after. I have heard that it would not get proper oil to the crank and other parts of the motor through the Bleed system. Plus normal start up with...

I am leaning towards roll and tip on the hull because the boat is sitting on a roller trailer. I figure I can roll it after paint is cured to paint the spots the rollers were touching the hull by moving the boat back and forth to get at those spots. I was leaning to rustoleum but have seen some...

My boat is trailered

What paint do you suggest?

Yes I have painted cars. I wanted to roll and tip paint the boat. So far I am puzzled why not more paints are not both top and below the water line? Some that talk about made below the water line are not gloss but flat or matt. Crestliner used PPG acrylic enamel baked on from the factory in 1989...

I am going to repaint my 1989 Crestliner Sabre G/L 22ft boat. I do not want to remove the old paint but I will lightly sand it all. The hull has a lot of paint that has washed away on the bottom and a few small bare aluminum spots here and there. Wondering if others have attempted this and how...

I have a 1989 Merc Black Max and I can start it a number of times with no issues. But every so often it will start like I have something in a cylinder and at like it has Hydraulic . I turns over up to a cylinder and stops. It even backfired once the last time I ran it last year. It runs strong...

Thanks for the reply, The last time I ran it the motor started fine and ran great in the lake. Started it 6 times drift fishing lake Erie. Motor was down and not tilted at any point on the lake. Went to start and had the hydro lock thing. Or seemed like not enough power to get the motor to turn...

I have a 1989 Mercury 175hp oil system removed so premix gas and oil. I sometimes when I attempt to start the motor it acts like it has Hydrolic or starter is weak. It has back fired once. I had it on the lake last trip last year and started fine. Drift fished and 6 drifts started and ran fine...
