Is anyone running an aftermarket car starter? I am in the market for one, it gets subzero here. I don?t want to go outside in -20 degree weather to crank up the truck when I get up in the morning. There is usually a good layer of ice on most mornings to so it will save me a lot of scraping. So...
While I was pulling the hub off my car hauler today to check the damage done to the spindle and hub. I hear the tell tail noise of a jetski start up. I stand up to see the owner reving his new jetski with out water hooked up to it. As I start across the parking lot to warn him of the mistake, he...
Would connecting anchor lines together to get an over all longer line be a bad idea? Using the rope thimbles in the splice and shackles to connect them together.
I have 89 mercruiser 5.7L 260H. I have a bad leak coming from some where behind the exhaust manifold. I cannot see where it is coming from, but it is running down on the port side between the second spark plug and the hose that come out of the bottom of it. I believe that if I replace the gasket...
My tilt trim sending unit is trashed. I have been searching for a new one, with no luck. I will continue to search, but any help would be great. It is a 88 alpha 1. I am downloading the #06 manual in hopes to find the part number in it.
I just had a new to me 260 installed in my boat. I had a hydrofoil on it but it is gone now and I really didnt like it all that well. With any amount of weight it seemed to have a reverse effect on the boat. So In come smart tabs I am looking at these...
I need a new capacity sticker, the old one is illegible now. This is for a 86 four winns 195 horizon. I contacted a dealer and the response I got was that they do not go back that far. Who should I contact to get a new one?
Would upgrading a 140h to a 260h with out upgrading the outer unit or regearing have any draw backs? Would the top end speed and hole shot remain the same? Can a mercruiser alpha 1 gen 1 handle 260h?
I have done some research on it but still a little confused on how it all works for upgrading I/O.
Well it is finally crunch time, in a few days I will be leaving and I cannot wait. I was lucky while I was in Afghanistan it was nice and quiet, while Iraq was in its hay days, now the rolls are reversed.
I used to have sevear back pain caused by muscle spasms. At 24 I was woried because noone else my age that I know has this problem. It was caused from a fall at about 5 feet off the ground while I was in Afghanistan wearing full body armor. I would throw my back out time to time but just sucked...
I have a shorelander trailer with rollers on it, the double roller for the front bracket for the bow, and the stop pads as well (they really don't stop all that well I have bumped over them and most they do is keep the hull from getting scratched). I am new to all the boating world and have...

What is the fastest I can get a mercruiser 140h, with an alpha 1 outer? This is in an 86 4 winns horizon 195. I have read that changing prop and cleaning everything boosts speed considerably. I am curious as to how fast I can go with this combo, so I know where to start looking for possible...
I just bought a 86 horizion 195. When I got it most of the guages were dead, I replaced them all and the sending unit is dead to, waiting for a new one to come in. I am wondering how many gallons the gas tank holds? I have searched the 4winns sight and the past manuals do not have the fluid...
