    Removing the Hard Top

    My family prefers the Hard top off of our nineteen during the summer. It takes two people to handle getting it on and off. Has anyone come up with an easier way that they can share.

    Tick, Tick, Tick Sound

    Noise coming from engine compartment intermittently. When I stop to open the engine compartment to see if I can tell where it is coming from it stops as mysteriously as it started.

    I have fond memories of the 70's when a family friend we all called Poppa Lock purchased an AristoCraft Nineteen with a 165 Mercruiser in it. It was the biggest, coolest boat I had ever seen. We skied many a mile behind that boat on beautiful Lake Martin in Alabama. As life happened I...

    1987 Evinrude 150 won't shift into reverse

    I just bought a 1987 E150STLCU motor that will not shift into reverse. It would only grind. I disconnected shift cable at motor and can manually shift into forward with propeller spinning with ease. When shifting by hand into reverse I get a lot of clicking but will not pop into gear unless I...
