I just bought a 1985 Bass Tracker 1710 with 1985 Mercury Blackmax 150
Runs great, starts every time, runs the boat at about 50mph. I was just wondering what the little rubber like plug is that is located were the engine water should be peeing out of.
I also have a problem with my power trim/tilt. The solinoids only click when the trailer button is pushed and the up button (bow up) is pushed. Nothing happenes. Supplied 12v straight to the trim motor both directions and nothing. Probably the pump motor.

Just wonding if anyone has any info for a new bass boat owner and bnew mercury 150hp blackmax owner

Thank You

Yep... Sounds like it to me... They do have a habit of taking a drink and seizing.
