    Looking at a pontoon w/ 06 115hp Optimax

    I've been speaking with a guy who has a sweet looking pontoon. But it has a 06 Optimax that runs rough. He said he has replaced both fuel pumps, fuel/pressure regulators and fuel injectors. He says its proly the Direct Injectors. How likely is that? and how hard is it to do this on your own...

    looking for advice on a 1996 merc 15 hp.

    yea i wouldn't go by that. if you take them off the motor and see how it shifts you can easily tell if they have more resistance then they need

    looking for advice on a 1996 merc 15 hp.

    could be his cables are frozen, if you take the cowl off you should be able to shift it into forward and reverse manually that way. if you can find a good tiller then why not!

    New prop for my boat

    I bought a 02 mercury bigfoot and 28ft boat from a older fella who is no longer cabable of boating (sad) and the motor had a 13p prop on it. The mercury dealer i spoke to to get an idea of prop size since i put it on a jon boat, said the 13p prop is a pontoon prop made for pushing if that helps any!
