    1998 190HP Bayliner - Clicks but no start - Assist Solenoid?

    Hey all, my 1998 Bayliner 190HP V6 Mercruiser WILL start eventually, but I have to press the key multiple times and I hear an audible 'click' each time, and then finally it will 'catch' and start.

    Hey all - just got the new Merc EFI 20HP outboard engine (short shaft) for a 14 foot Yamaha G3 V-hull aluminum boat. The boat is only rated to 20HP, so I am maxing it out with this engine.

    Need TIN Boat Help - Got new motor - too big for my boat!

    Hey all - my 8hp 2 stroke johnson motor was stolen from me this year, and I ended up replacing it with a merc 9.9 4 stroke. Problem is, the merc is 85lbs - compared to 50lbs for the johnson. My little 12 foot Sea Nymph is already problematic for me (I am 250lbs on a good day). Now with an...

    1998 Bayliner Capri Bowrider - Replacement Cover questions + ski hatch part question!

    Hey all. I have a 1998 Bayliner Capri Bowrider 20.5 feet. The OEM covers are getting brittle - and I never ride the boat in the rain - so I dont need the covers that allow me to use the boat while covered. A good trailer cover would suit my needs - but I need to be able to put it on from...
