The bow needs to be on an angle where the bow eye is....if the bow is to vertical it won't latch. Mine is close, not angled as much as the factory recomends .. I have to make sure the roller on the latch is tilted toward the ground before running the boat on. If I do that it latches...
Been using BB for decades, no issues after I followed the instructions closely ! Early on I was over filling them. Then they came out with the ones that gave the little weep hole...you fill until grease comes out the hole and quit. Never have had an issue since. Also highly recommended to...
Always better to have far more battery capacity than needed, rather than being short and running the battery to far down....that is the biggest cause of failure ..
We have an EP factory nearby that allows street sales. I tried a couple many years back but was not impressed....night have just gotten a couple bad ones.
yes I did. Needed some fine tuning and getting the trailer the correct depth. Once figured out....it is great ! Like many others, I have a full roller trailer so the boat will roll back with no power from the motor. Rollers also need adjusted so your boat is supported completely by the...
Best bang for the buck has been Walley World, used them for many years in boat and motorhome. Avg 4-6 years life, easy to return if an issue arrises and good prices. No dealers to try and find...
Sounds love me your backing in to deep/ shallow depending on the ramp angle. We all have had those days, things just don't go right ! Occasional days are completely acceptable because we are humans and not perfect. But when your the same guy day after day....then you have a problem !
If that...
Residual oil in the fuel will be left when the gas evaporates. Good reason to use a fuel additive to keep that from getting gummy. Some call it snake oil and won't use it. I have for most of my 60 years of boating. Never had a carb gum up from fuel residue in all 60 years. When I buy a used...
Been doing that for years, my current boat has a built-in 18 gallon tank but only 17 gallons is usable to the motor. Carried a portable tank and ran until main tank stopped . then added three gallons at a time and marked the gage for each three gallons. Now, I know how much fuel I gave used...
There is a large demand for wasp and bee venom to create serums for people that have serious allergies to stings. In order to collect their venom they must be free of any poison or bug spray. Most will remove the nest for free if there are no sprays or toxins used on the nest....and it can...
My apologies, just realized it posted 1982 and should have read " 1992" ...damn spell checker or what ever it us called often changes characters that I don't catch....don't know how to turn it off...
Just went back to recent posts and found more character changes on them !!
Actually checked a Mercury outboard website and according to Merc the oil injection system was incorporated in the late 80's then well into the mid nineties. Very popular and had very few issues.
