This week I put my boat back in the water for the first time this season. In December, I did my annual maintenance. I did not fog the engine. I filled up the fuel tank and added some sta-bil. I replaced the fuel filter. The engine starts fine when first launched. I run it for about 45...

I am selling a Mercury Enertia propeller, 22 pitch, 13.5 diameter, right hand. The propeller was purchased new and used for one hour. The prop is in excellent, like new condition. No dings. The PVS vent plugs were never removed and will ship in the prop. The Quicksilver hub kit will also be...

Okay, I have a 205 Sport towed by a Tacoma, V6. My driveway goes uphill probably about 15-20 degrees. I have to back my trailer up the driveway. Every time I do, I am burning up my clutch. You can smell it. Here is the problem. If I let the clutch all the way out, I am going to fast. I...

Okay, I have decided to upgrade from an aluminum prop to SS. So I went to my local prop shop. My boat came stock with a 14.125 x 21p. RPMs would get about 4600 and speed would get about 46mph via GPS. I would fall off plane about 18mph. The guy at the prop shop let me test a 13.875 x 21p...

I tested out a new prop. My boat came with a 14.25 x 21p aluminum prop. The prop shop gave me a 13.75 x 21p SS prop to test out. The prop is cupped but not vented. The prop functioned better. My WOT RPM was within range, 4800. I increased top end speed by a few mph. I also noticed I had to...

Okay. I chipped my skeg. I backed my trailer with the drive down. I forgot to raise the drive after flushing it. Anyways, I chipped about an inch square from the aft lower portion of the skeg. I am looking at two skeg repair products and wanted feedback from those who have used them or are...

So I bring my boat to MM because there is a growling noise coming from the outdrive. Also, there was a lot of vibration with the trim all the way down at low speeds. MM informs me that water got into the outdrive and the gimble bearing, among other things, have to be replaced. The gimble...

Greetings. I have a Garmin GPS with a transducer. The tranducer is mounted on the transom. When I am at cruising speed, the depth on the GPS goes haywire. I noticed the factory depthfinder on my boat can keep up. Is this expected. Or should the Garmin be able to keep up with an accurate...

This is my first year owning a boat. I live in the Panhandle of Florida. I refused to pay to have someone winterize, service, my boat. So here is what I did. I read the service manual. And talked to a lot of friends. First step was to change the oil. Everything went well until I went to...

I have a 2008 205 sport. It has the 5 liter, 220 hp engine. The oil filter is on the underside, near the back of the boat. It is horrible to get to. I know the some of the boats, like the 210 select, have a remote oil filter. Is there a kit where I can add this to my boat?
