I am replacing the deck on my pontoon boat. I do not know the official name of the part at each of the four corners of the boat. I need to replace two of them. They seem to be made of cast.
Thanks for the help,

I have an 87' 20' Suntracker with a Merc 50 Classic, which is actually a 45 h.p. motor. It has a great deal of weight in the rear and rides with the toons over 50% below the water level. The speedo does not work but WOT is about 5200 to 5300 r.p.m. When my oldest son or I walk to the front of...
As you know a classic 50 is actually a 45 hp. The current prop has 13x9 on it - it runs out at 5200 rpm's and 18 mph. I think that is probably right for a 20' Suntracker. The current prop is pretty beat up. Is the prop I need to replace it with the one at this link...
Last year I bought a 20' suntracker. Enjoyed it through the season and knew the deck was soft from the console back - it sits low in the water in the back. I took everything off of it and replaced what had turned into cardboard from the console back. Took it out two days ago for the first run...
Everyone helped figure out the lights on my 87' Suntracker. Next up is the tilt trim. If I arc across on the motor itself, the motor will raise and lower. There is a toggle on the console that says up/down for the tilt trim. Coming out of the tilt/trim motor are a bunch of wires. Under the...
I have an 87 20' Lowe Pontoon - it was wired by the mad-wirer. There's more spaghetti under the console than you can shake a stick at. I am starting with the basics - getting the lights working. I will do my best as a new wire-guy to explain where I am at.
I have good wire into the console - I...

I am buying a 1976 bassboat with a 85 hp Merc on it. I know the owner quiet well and he told me two years ago he put a $600 power unit on it. He said it ran when he parked it. He then turned around and bought another boat. It has sat for two years, with the same gas in it. I know I will...
I asked this same question in the pontoon section: I have a 20 suntracker pontoon. It currently has a classic 50 (45 hp) on it. It gets up on a plane with 7 adults. I am looking for something with a bit more pep to pull my adult kids on a tube. Would the difference be worth the effort to...
I have a 20' Suntracker with a classic 50 (45hp) that gets the boat up on plane, even with 7 adults. I want a bit more go to pull my adult kids on a tube. I have the opportunity to get a 1983 60 hp Mariner with all the cables for a really good price. My question is, will the difference in hp...
I have a 1987 Suntracker 20' pontoon. It currently has a classic 50 Merc on it. I have found a 1977 85 hp Merc. The boat is rated for a 50 hp. I want to find a 70 hp johnson or evinrude, but this 85 is on a boat and the guy will sell me the whole works for $500. I can transfer all the...
