    Corson Boat...what year?

    My dad just picked up an old Corson boat...for free! I think it's old enough that it doesn't require an official HID, and the only number I could find on the transom is 4012. Anyone know anything about these? Just wondering what year it is. Thanks!

    Evinrude Outboard...what year?

    Hey everyone, my dad just got a boat for free! It has an old Evinrude Big Twin on it, the only number I could find on it is "SM179". I can't find anything about that anywhere, I wanted to see if we could find a repair manual anywhere so we could get it up and running. Any help would be great...

    Premium vs. Regular for my 1989 Mariner

    1989 Mariner 2 stroke, serial number 0C154398, I'm mixing 2 stroke oil in a 50:1 ratio. Do I need to use Premium gas? I have been, but now that gas is approaching $4.00 per gallon and I'll go through 6 gallons in a day of fishing, I'm trying to save a little money if possible...Thanks!

    Best tilt position for getting on a plane!?

    I have a 16' aluminum boat with a 25hp Mariner outboard. When I'm by myself I can get this bad boy going around 25mph, but when I have my fishing buddies with me, we putter along around 13 mph - I don't feel like I'm getting on a plane and I'm just pushing through the water. I don't have an...

    Trailer Running Lights won't work!

    Hey everyone, my trailer lights all work fine except for when they are plugged into my truck! I have a 2009 Nissan Frontier, brake lights work, blinkers work, flashers work. Running lights do not work. Any suggestions? I have already checked the separate fuse and tried a different one to...

    Which deep cycle battery to buy for trolling motor?

    Sorry, I'm not sure what the thrust is of my trolling motor - it came with my boat and it's pretty much worn so I can't read anything other than "Minn Kota". Anyway, I'm looking at buying one of the Everstart deep cycle batteries at Wal Mart, and I'm not sure which one I should get if I'm...

    2 PSAs from my adventures last year...

    It's almost time again here in the northeast...here are a few pointers from a noob! 1. Tighten the lug bolts (or nuts) on your trailer. 2. Check your gear lube so you don't have to be towed back to shore.

    1989 25hp Mariner Outboard Seal replacement

    So last year I noticed when I bought my boat that there was some foamy looing oily substance dripping off my prop. Being my first boat, I wasn't really sure what it was - but figured it wasn't a big deal. Well, around the end of August I was in the middle of the lake when my motor broke and...

    Ignition key kills everything?

    Here's the background: my battery is new this year, when plugged in - everything works (fishfinder, bilge, aerator). When I turn the key to start the motor, the fishfinder shuts off and the motor barely makes a noise as if it's not getting the signal to start. It has a pull cord and I've had...

    1989 Mariner 2 Stroke Tilt Lever assembly

    I bought a control lever (31) and the spring (32) that goes with it for my motor. I can't figure out how the spring attaches to anything to keep the lever from flipping too easily...now when I put it in reverse the motor comes flying out of the water!! Can anyone easily explain it, or if...

    Trailer Light question - No brake lights!

    I bought a boat with a trailer, and the lights on the trailer were busted out when I bought it. I purchased a new set of lights for the trailer, and now that I have them installed - the brake lights won't work. The lights work when I turn the lights on in my van, the blinkers work...but when I...

    1989 Mariner 2 Stroke - No Spark?!

    This boat I just bought is going to be the death of me... So on Easter I had my motor running for the first time since I bought it. I put a new battery and 2 new spark plugs on her and she fired up quick and easy. The last couple of days I've been trying to get it running again but to no...

    I can't find the engine quick connector for the fuel line anywhwere. Most of what I find say that they're for 1998 or newer motors. Does anyone know if these are pretty much universal for all Mariner motors?

    1989 Mariner 25hp 2-stroke tune up

    I just bought a boat for the first time in my life, so I'm not sure exactly what parts I should replace if I'd like to do a tune up. The previous owner said he'd never done a tune up on it, so I thought it might be a good time to do it...Thanks!

    1989 Sea Nymph Fishing Machine - repainting tips wanted!

    I've been reading a lot of different things on the forums as far as what I should do with a boat I just bought. It's only got the original paint job on it which is very old now, but I'm assuming if I give it a good sanding I can just paint over the existing paint. Another concern is the raised...
