I took my boat out for a ride the other day and it ran perfect until I got back to the marina area. Once I slowed down to about 5 mph there was some weird mechanical noises and it quit. Nothing had fowled the prop. It started right up but every time I put it in gear more weird noises and it...
while towing my boat home i was sideswiped by aa large pickup truck
his plastic side view mirror left plastic on my hull from the bow to the stern
any idea how to safely remove it? It seems to just be on the surface near as i can tell. I was thinking a heat gun and plastic scraper??
not sure...
My 2007 Optimax 90hp 2 stroke started fine today, and for 3/4 of the trip ran perfectly. (About 20 minutes) I slowed to about 1/2 speed to get through some rough water and when I opened it up again, it suddenly dropped to an idle. There was no response from the throttle at all. It idled fine...
Hi
I have been having power connection issues this season and I was told I should check the boat ground conection point. I have no idea where that is though. I took apart my battery switch cleaned it up and wire brushed all the wire lugs and now everything seems OK, but I'd like to check the...
I have a 2007 90HP Mercury 2 stroke motor. It runs fine when wide open, but I have a 10-15 minute ride out from my marina before I can open it up. The motor runs terrible.. spits, caughs etc. On the trip back in it runs fine for a few minutes, then the plugs foul and it starts all over again. If...
I need to replace my main starting battery but have a few questions before I do. My boat is an 18' CC that is 3 years old, and I have a 90hp 2 stroke mercury motor.
The main battery is used for starting and the bilge pump. The boat is kept in a marina. Most of this season I ended up having to...

I have a 2007 Angler 180F Center console boat. I made a bone head move today when installing the batteries. I forgot the positive lead for what seems to be the instrument gages is black not red. Needless to say something blew somewhere. I'm hoping it's a fuse.
My fuel gauge is not working, but...
Hi Everyone,
I need to get a new prop after an unfortunate meeting with some kind of metal in an inlet yesterday afternoon. It's mangled badly so i think I'm just better off getting a new one.
the old prop is a black max # 48 77342A45 Which in looking on the Mercury web site is 13 3/4 x 15...
I have a 2007 90HP Optimax motor on a 180F Angler CC boat. the temp gauge is the older analog style. From the start the temp gauge never moved. i complained to the dealer, and they told me this was normal, that the engine ran cool and didn't show up on the gauge until it got hot. That sounded...
I have an 18' angler center console that I'm trying to install a fish finder in. there is one PVC tube for the wires in the boat and it's fairly packed. Using a fish tape, i can get the wires to about 10" from the end of the tube and no matter what i do it gets stuck. i used duct tape on the end...
Probably a dumb question, but I have an 18" 2007 Angler center console (180f). I'd like to install a fish finder in it, but the dealer wants $275.00 to do it so I'm going to do it myself. My last boat it was easy to route the wiring, but this one has me stumped.
Do I remove floor panels to do...
Hi,
I've been looking actively for a decent fishfinder that also has speed and temperature features. I will be only in salt water, in the bay and close off shore off Long island NY. My boat is an 18' center console Angler so space is limited.
After reading through lots of posts and reviews all...
I know this has been asked many times, but it seems most of the questions are for fresh water units.
I have an 18' Angler center console boat so the real estate available I have is small.
I don't have a cover of any sort over the console, so it needs to be visible in full sunlight. I also...
I'm looking to sell my old boat/motor/trailer and I'm not sure what a fair price is. I've looked around but as everything is old, I'm having a hard time figuring a price. here is what I have:
1988 17' Sunbird Cuddy Cabin boat. The hull is in great shape but the deck is soft and needs to be...
