    Trim Pump Fill

    75 Aristocraft with I6 165hp. Old style trim pump with two small screws- one to vent, one to fill. Unfortunately in my boat the pump is buried and very hard to get to. I have a whole collection of funnels I have tried. Wondering if there is a hose with thread that might fit? Someone else might...

    Mercruiser 165hp I6 issue

    Tonight my 1975 Mercruiser was acting a bit strange. Started fine, temp good, ran fine at slow speeds but more than 1/2 throttle it would rev up and down. Sounded just like I was feathering the throttle back and forth. Slow down and it would settle into a good speed and tach would hold. But...

    Stripped Anode Bolt

    Was going to replace the trim anode on my 76 Mercruiser 165hp MC-1 drive. The head of the bolt that runs trough the drive is messed up, and of course there is no easy way to get to the head. Suggestions?

    Gear Lube Mistake

    So I go to clean out the garage today and in the spring boat box full of leftover stuff boat wise I find 2 empty bottles of Mercruiser OUTBOARD gear lube. Unfortunately I have a 1975 Mercruiser inline 6 165hp with MC-1 outdrive. Most of picked the wrong bottles off the shelf-idiot. So I am going...

    Temp Gauge

    I have a 1975 Aristocraft with 165hp inline 6. Temp gauge was not working last year so this spring I purchased new sender and new gauge. Also checked continence in wire from sender to gauge and it was fine. Still not getting any readings and I was out today for a long run. Engine getting warm...

    Alternator Issue

    I have a 1975 165hp Inline 6 that runs like a champ but my alternator is not putting out more than 12 volts. Looks like it's the original so no surprise there. I checked the prices of replacements and wow, 300$ and more! The Admiral would kill me if I tried that one after some other cash I have...

    Coast Gaurd Plate

    Hey Aristocraft folks. Do you have replacement plates availible? Mine is still there but you can no longer read it, particularly the part with capacities. (On my 75 19 the top part is in red color and in bad shape from the sun) I don't want any regulatory problems.

    Looking for new winch

    The winch on my old boat trailer is rusty and nasty looking, of course the boat and trailer are both 75"s. It is a nineteen foot Aristocraft with bunk trailer. I don't know the weight off hand but it can't be that much. I would rather go with a manual rather than electric as I normally only use...

    Controls

    Have a 1975 Mercruiser inline 6 165hp. and I love it. But I am not found of single controls for shift/throttle. (OK, I am not a young man) Much preferred the old one lever for shift, another for throttle. especially when docking and other slow speed maneuvers. Is there any way to change? (Sorry...

    Happy Thanksgiving

    To all my fellow Aristocraft lovers out there. Was wondering what is new with your boats, if you are starting any winter projects this year. My projects this year are quite small compared to last year. A bit more work on electrical, changing from my small fuse box to one bigger as I have added...

    Engine mount

    Noticed when winterizing that bolt on front starboard engine mount is loose. Tried tightening but it just goes around like the handle on the outhouse door. All others tight. I don't know if there is wood down there or just glass. Is there and expoxy or something I could pour down there before...

    Trailer Brakes

    The old trailer under my Aristocraft Nineteen does not have trailer brakes. Not a problem last year as 3 mile trip to dock slip and back was all the trailer did. Next year thinking of a few longer trips and it is a heavy boat. Do other Nineteen owners have trailers with brakes? Surge or...

    Fisherman 5.5

    My sister has an old fisherman 5.5 that has been on a stand in her garage for the last 20+ years. It was her late husbands and she hated to give it up, emotions and all but today she asked me to help her sell it. I am more on a sterndrive guy so I am looking for a bit of help. I will get pics...
