I am leaning towards roll and tip on the hull because the boat is sitting on a roller trailer. I figure I can roll it after paint is cured to paint the spots the rollers were touching the hull by moving the boat back and forth to get at those spots. I was leaning to rustoleum but have seen some...
Yes I have painted cars. I wanted to roll and tip paint the boat. So far I am puzzled why not more paints are not both top and below the water line? Some that talk about made below the water line are not gloss but flat or matt. Crestliner used PPG acrylic enamel baked on from the factory in 1989...
I am going to repaint my 1989 Crestliner Sabre G/L 22ft boat. I do not want to remove the old paint but I will lightly sand it all. The hull has a lot of paint that has washed away on the bottom and a few small bare aluminum spots here and there. Wondering if others have attempted this and how...

I have a 1989 Merc Black Max and I can start it a number of times with no issues. But every so often it will start like I have something in a cylinder and at like it has Hydraulic . I turns over up to a cylinder and stops. It even backfired once the last time I ran it last year. It runs strong...

OMC and Mercury Perfect seal for the outside of the driveshaft pressed in seal on the Gear housing cap. Bellows...
Thanks for the reply, The last time I ran it the motor started fine and ran great in the lake. Started it 6 times drift fishing lake Erie. Motor was down and not tilted at any point on the lake. Went to start and had the hydro lock thing. Or seemed like not enough power to get the motor to turn...
I have a 1989 Mercury 175hp oil system removed so premix gas and oil. I sometimes when I attempt to start the motor it acts like it has Hydrolic or starter is weak. It has back fired once. I had it on the lake last trip last year and started fine. Drift fished and 6 drifts started and ran fine...
Only 20? Boy I am coming up with everything from 15 to 35ft lbs , Can't find the exact number anywhere. I even tried calling Merc and my local Merc dealer shop. Did you work for a repair shop?
Tell tail is after and above the T-stat, it is a 110F stat. I ran the motor in Neutral and tell tail sprays water and water comes out with the exhaust from the two holes behind and just below the power head as its suppose to. I shift into gear and the waters stops coming out of the tell tail...

I have a single exhaust gearcase with two piece driveshaft that I had installed a kit to remove the shift shaft bellows. Now I am reinstalling the gearcase and will install the propeller. But at this point I can't find the proper torque for the propeller nut. Does anyone have the answer to this...
