    Control Cable Lengths?

    I have a 1986 Bayliner 19' with a 125hp Force that needs a new shift control cable. Does anyone know what length I should order? I think it is a 13' cable but I don't want to order the wrong one and then have to return it. Any help would be appreciated. Happy and safe Summer boating to all.

    Electric Trolling Motors

    I have just acquired an engine mounted 35 pound thrust electric trolling motor. My question is: will this be powerful enough to push my 19' Bayliner? I have looked at several charts and some say yes, and some say no.

    275 lift problem

    Hey Don, starting a new thread - the old one was getting pretty long. I raised the drive and tried to activate the tilt pressure plate and nothing happened. This leads me to believe the problem is in the worm gear mechinizim somewhere. Before I remove that unit and take it apart, do you have...

    275 Tilt motor

    :'( Well, they say trouble always comes in 3's and I am on number 2. Doing the test of the tilt motor on my AQ131 on a 275 stern-drive I applied 12v power directly to the disconnected motor leads and received no reaction on either lead. According to the Clymer manual, that means the motor is...

    Winch strap vs rope

    I want to change the rope on my winch and replace it with a strap. I find that there are straps with a loop end and a tail end, I do not know what the difference is. My winch drum does not come apart so I do not think I can use the loop end type. Does the tail end mean that it will go into...
