What's with the plugs on this engine? 5/8 is definitely too small and an 11/16 does not fit in the recessed spark plug well. Any advice on what tool to use?
I tried toilet cleaner and a pressure washer but it didn't do a lot of good. Any tips on what else to try for the below-waterline stains? Bleach?
And how do you clean areas covered up by the trailer bunks? Do you temporarily jack the boat off the bunks? Any advice on doing that without...
I own a 16 foot Scout with a 50 hp 4-stroke Mariner motor with power tilt and trim. I rarely trailer it but this year, I think I will do a lot more trailering.
I've never had a transom saver. While researching transom savers, I hear mention of a tilt lock or trailering bracket. I've never...
My brother has a late 90's 4 stroke Mariner 50hp engine that has been working great until now.
Upon his second trip after dewinterizing, he stalled and had to be towed in. When he removed the cowling, he noticed a "lot" of fuel spuirtting from the engine. Now, my brother is not very...
I wonder if I could get opinions on a fair price for a 2002 Lund 1800 Fisherman with Yamaha 115 4-stroke and galvanized trailer. Pretty much mint shape. Seller is older gentleman with no idea what price to ask. He says he paid in the low $30s for it when new.<br /><br />Are the warranties...

I know this is very subjective but I wonder if I could get some opinions on this motor. It's a V-4, traditional 2-stroke. I've been leaning towards a direct injection 2-stroke but this particular boat is used and a very good deal.<br /><br />My concern is noise level, smoke and fuel...

I'm looking at a 2000 lb., Deep V hull aluminum boat with a 3 litre Mercruiser I/O. <br /><br />Is this adequate power? What kind of planing time and top speed could I expect with this rig?
Anyone have experience with Grew boats from the late 90s? I know the Grew name changed hands many times since the 70s (when they were known for good boats).<br /><br />The particular boat I'm looking at is a Centre console 19 footer. Not too many of those around.
Looking at a Lund 1750 Fisherman. It's a Fish and Ski boat. 1997 90hp Honda motor, trailer, basic electronics. Very nice rig in mint shape.<br /><br />The guy's asking $23,000 which is around $19,000 US Dollars. <br /><br />Couldn't find this model and year in the Nada Guides. Maybe the guy...
Can anyone comment on Legend boats build quality? I know their sales tactics are a bit shady but I'm looking at a used boat so that doesn't matter to me. I would like to know how the boat holds up to long term use. How does it compare to other aluminums like Princecraft?<br /><br />The boat...
I own a 50hp 4-stroke Mariner. First time winterizing it myself so I have a couple of questions.<br /><br />First, the fogging spray I bought tells me to spray into the carb until the engine stalls. What makes the engine stall? The fog oil? I'm thinking the engine will just keep running.<br...
I'm looking at a 16.5 foot Lowe aluminum fishing boat. I think it's called a FM165S SEA NYMPH V. "Basic hull weight" is 955lbs but I gotta figure with the motor and gear, it's over 2000. Power is a 50hp Honda 4-stroke. I'm thinking this boat needs more power. Thoughts?
I bought a small sailboat that came with this motor and I'm wondering if it's worth rebuilding. It starts usually but it has the following problems:<br /><br />1) Does not seem to run smoothly without choke being pulled completely out. The motor stalls if I close the choke.<br /><br />2)...
