    I currently have very old (original) rollers on my trailer. I would like to replace them all. I see rollers like this but not with the same center. Does this mean I would need to replace the entire assembly. If so, will i need to drill new holes to match the new assembly? Hopefully my...

    Anyone else having issues posting images. When I click on insert image, the screen grays out as if it's displaying a modal window but i never get the pop-up. Have to hit the back button and get out. Is this an issue with the upgrade?

    1991 Landau Scout 16ft rehab/resto/repair/refurbish/project.

    There are those who know more than I do but I would guess that, as was the case with mine, that the manufacturer and/or previous owners had put screws into the deck for securing different things. Over time, water gets in, and rots them out, allowing more water to get in. I am in the process of...

    More newbie fiberglass questions.

    I posted this in my build thread but I am starting to see that it's better when asking questions not directly pertaining to your thread to create a new one. Forgive me for the duplicate post. I'm starting to look at getting the fiberglass supplies and have a few questions. First off...

    1974 Ebbtide Restoration - SPLASHED

    Hello all. Before I say anything else, I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year and I hope and pray and 2014 will be a good year for all of us. In 2012 for some unexplained reason, I caught the boating bug. I did not grow up around boating and it was never anything that I found of...

    850 Timing Help

    I'm hoping I can get some confirmation on something. I'm trying to get the timing set and I'm not sure I have it exactly right. Here is a picture of what I have. My manual says that the line one the flywheel (I think that's the 3 marks in the picture) should line up with the arrow. I guess...

    '75 merc 850 Distributor Removal/Installation

    Ok, i'm on the home stretch of getting the 850 up and running. I almost installed the distributor in the powerhead before bolting the powerhead to the tower but decided that I could do it after wards. Now I'm not so sure. Can anyone verify whether or not it's possible to get the distributor...

    Does anyone service/rebuild there own starters? I watched some videos about it and it seems fairly straightforward assuming you windings are good. It looks as though the brushes are replaceable but the only place I found them were on ebay. Is there a good source for these? Also, what are the...

    '75 850 Lower Bearing

    I ordered some parts last week for the 850 I'm working on. I replaced the two lower crank seals and o-ring noticed while I had it off that the lower bearing felt a little sloppy. Is that bearing supposed to be fairly tight (ie. no play)? I went ahead and put it all back together but I figured...

    Fuel Line Question

    What is the standard fuel line size (ID) on a mid 70's outboard (have a 75 650 as well as an 850). I suspect it's 5/16 but cant confirm that anywhere. Last time I tried to get some locally I had trouble finding it. Otherwise I would just get a couple of feed and see if it fit. Anyway, if...
