    Suzuki DF115 starting advice

    Could someone tell me how to start a 2004 DF115 on a motor stand without having a control box connected? I'm waiting on a manual to arrive. Someone locally suggested to energize the white wire. Need a second opinion before I accidentally fry something.

    Advice on a pontoon motor swap

    Google comes up with 645lbs but I can't determine if that's engine only or the assy. I wouldn't think a 3.0 alone weighs that much. How much outboard (4 stroke) HP would be about equal to the 135 I/O?

    Mercruiser Remote shifter and cables replacement recommendations

    Thanks for posting this. I have almost the same situation going on and was wondering would it be best to just spend the extra money for genuine Quicksilver parts. I have had a lot of aftermarket part failures over the years, never used an aftermarket control. I'll watch for answers to your post.

    Pontoons with aluminum decks

    I know for sure that the 1999-2003 Trackers had an aluminum plank type flooring (not sheet metal), earlier and later models had wood. I have seen other makes with this type flooring but can't remember what they were.

    Paint Code

    I have been doing some repairs to my 1999 Fisher deck boat and I can't find the right color paint to match it. Does anyone have any idea where I could find a paint code? I know Fisher is out of business now but maybe some other brand uses the same colors. Thanks in advance.

I tried to find info on what prop came on these boats with no success. I have a 1.98 upper and know I will probably have to change gears. I currently don't...

It has 2 Hynautic steering helms, when I started to bleed the system I noticed the top station leaking around the shaft. Should I try to replace the seal in this myself or do I need to send it...
