    annoying chevy ad

    Well, I see they took the close button off the chevy ad. Used to be able to get rid of it but now it just follows you from screen to screen. I find it incredibly annoying and will just move on. I learned a lot and injoyed my time here. I also hope, in some small way, I contributed. Mike Cummings

    Should I put a water separator filter on my pontoon?

    I've been following a thread on the Merc outboard forum. About water separator filters and if you really need one. I have a 2001 75hp Merc 2 stroke on my pontoon and I'm sure there's a filter on the motor but I don't have the seperate canister type water separator filter. I bought the pontoon...

    Broke my livewell pump.

    Took my pontoon out for the year yesterday. My livewell pump was hanging off the back so I stuck it up out of the way and took the boat in to be wrapped up and put away. I'll put one on in the spring. What I forgot to check was how big a pump to buy. The boats up north and I'm not. I've...

    Black Diamond 3 Blade PONTOON boat propellers

    The prop on my pontoon is getting a little ragged on the edges. Thought I might get a new one this fall and put it on before it goes into storage and save the old one for a backup. The pitch on my prop seems to be correct for my boat so I will probably get the same. Found this while surfing for...

    Max RPM's at WOT for my 2001 75hp Merc 2 stroke

    Just picked up an older pontoon boat (20') with a 2001 75hp 3 cyl 2 stroke. Got it out on the lake Friday and she'll run 21-22mph (GPS) at 5200 rpm's. I thought the RPM's sounded a little low so checked the web. The only spec's I could find said the rpm range for my motor at WOT was "min...

    75hp Merc 2 stroke on my 20'.. Good match?

    I'm picking up my first pontoon boat tomorrow. A 20 foot Starcraft with a 2001 75hp Mercury two stroke. Is that a good motor for 20ft'er? Wife and I are retired and most of the time it will be just us but once in a while we'll have the kids and grandkids. Don't expect to be pulling any water...

    Non-oxygenated gas (ethanol free)

    Bought my boat last spring. It has a 1989 35hp Merc two stroke on it. I wanted to do the best I could for the motor (runs great) so I read everything I could. It seems, for a number of reasons, ethanol is NOT real good for my motor. Not a problem. I can still buy non-oxygenated gas here in...

    Fuel filter on my 89 35hp 2 stroke

    The filter on my 1989 35hp looks like it hasn't been changed in a while. The pic of the "late model" fuel filter in the SELOC manual is different then mine. Mine is down inside the lower cowl. ( I'm ordering a fact, service manual) Looks like a bear to get at. Is there a way to get at that...

    Finding the serial # on an older Merc outboard
