    2008 Mercury 20hp 4 stroke problems

    I have a 2008 Mercury 20hp 4 stroke with electric start, short shaft. I bought it used and put it on a 14' Smokercraft aluminum boat. It has always been a difficult starter when cold, will take 10 seconds to crank and finally fire barely. The motor runs poorly when cold, it coughs, stumbles and...

    New prop and trouble....

    So I installed a Merc Vengance prop after taking my aluiminum prop off. Notice a slight vibration that i can hear and feel in the boat between about 1000-1500 rpms, all other rpms the vibration is gone. No damage to the prop but I suspect it may be out of balance. Worth running? Or should I just...

    Yamaha Power trim issue

    My 96 Yamaha 90hp has had this problem for a while now. Once the boat is on plane and you trim up, the trim seems to start falling back down on it's own, so you keep having to put the trim back up? As I said it falls very slowly but it does happen. There aren't any leaks, but I am thinking it...

    Merc Vengeance?

    I am happy with the current performance of the 13.75 x 21P prop I have now, and the RPM's are right on. I am just looking to upgrade to an SS from the stocker aluminum prop I have. Not looking for anything serious. Anyone else running this prop? Pro's/con's? Other suggestions? Wondering also if...
