    For those of you running a 3.5 4-stroke on your skiff/dink/rib etc ... What do you get for performance as far as top speed, range etc? I know there's a ton of variables but I'm trying to get a baseline.

    Bottom Paint Primer?

    I need to bottom paint the tender before the season starts, since it stays in the water. The surface is high-density polyethylene so it's more porous than fiberglass. I'll be using ablative but I haven't been able to get a good answer on whether or not to use a primer. It's never been bottom...

    Mercury Gear Lube R/R

    This past weekend I went to winterize my two small Merc outboards, and I used the same Quicksilver 90 Hi Perf gear lube that I always used in my Bravo IIIs. These motors were both new this year and the lower units came pre-filled from the factory as delivered so I'm not sure exacly what it...

    Non-Disparage Clause in P-n-S

    I'm in the process of signing a P&S on a new to me boat. It has a clause that says -- paraphrasing: Buyer will not make disparaging comments about [ dealer ], the seller, any of their executives, shareholders etc .... no limitation .... in print media, social media, direct mail etc I pulled...

    New Tender -- I Am Hooked

    I am completely on board Team Tender now! Long story short, I always wanted one but there was no room in my slip, which is 35 feet. I got in to a couple engine maintenance projects late this season ... problems arise ... can't get parts etc. So how do I get my fix? A tender of course! A...

    Circulation Pump Old Style?

    I just replaced a pump using Merc 8503391, with brass impeller and stainless back cover The back looks like this, with 3 holes on the side where the big hose attaches. The top 2 holes are for the bolts and the third is a water passage I used Felpro gaskets, assembeled everthing, and when I...

    Bravo III Trim Cylinders Stuck Opposite

    I had the marina pull both drives in the spring and do an overhaul due to lack of time. At the end of the season after haul, I left both drives down. When they pulled the drives, all 4 cylinders were attached at the transom end and extended all the way out. After they put the drives back on...

    Idler Pulley 5.0 MPI

    I need to replace both idler pulleys (above sea pump). The parts diagram shows different pulleys than the ones I have now. The replacement looks to be similar to the ones above the P/S pump that you loosen to remove the belt -- where it rides on a bushing. But the ones I've got on the boat...

    MTS to DTS Conversion

    I am planning (hoping) to upgrade my single station/twin engine manual throttle and shift to DTS. Wondering if anyone here has done this? I found a great kit, and there was a video done by one of the power boating shows where of course they made it look easy :eek: Would be replacing this:

    AC Winterize Direction

    So first of all, my setup is like this: single AC unit underneath the v-berth. The water comes in through a pickup in the stern, into a strainer, then is pumped forward to the unit, and out a thru-hull in the bow. To winterize, I was planning to use the AC pump to send AF forwards until I see...

    4-Way VDO Gauge Wiring

    I have 2 VDO 4-way gauges on the ends of the cluster. There are only 3 wires going into these (red/blue/yellow) but that doesn't match the instrument panel wiring diagram that I have, which shows 8. Also after attaching to the gauge, the 3 wires go to a pigtail that is not capped and not...

    Clarion XMD3 Aux In

    I added an Aux in jack at the helm, and connected to the back of the Clarion head unit with RCA cables. If the head unit is on FM, AM or Aux then you can hear what's hooked up through this RCA cable no matter what, as long as the volume is higher than zero. So say you set it to an FM station...
