    22' Sylvan Audio Upgrade - Subwoofer Backing Support Needed?

    Hi All, Upgrading my 2016 Sylvan 22' Mirage 220 Audio System. I plan on mounting this Kicker MWF where the changing station door is (this has been a waste of space and wish we never got that accessory). This subwoofer weighs around 17 lbs - unsure if I'll need some sort of backing plate on...

    Jet SKi Trailer - Grease Cap Leak?

    Hi All, Wanted to try and get some feedback. I've got a 2018 jet ski/trailer, and at the end of last season, I pumped grease in the zerk until I saw the new grease come through. Did not dip the trailer in water after that, went to storage shortly afterwards. (FYI.....This trailer has the Super...

    Bravo One Trim Sender Replacement - Videos/Instructions?

    Hi All, I'm hoping to clean out my pucks on the sender/limit switch this weekend. My needle is acting funny as of this weekend, basically when you activate the trim/tilt the gauge moves all over the place and finally settles into position a second or two after you release it. I believe it may...

    Quicksilver 3000 Control Box Replacement?

    Hi Everyone, I'm looking to replace my Quicksilver 3000 control box. My boat is a 97 Powerquest w/ the Bravo One 454. Over the years, I think it is starting to wear out. Often times the neutral switch will stick, and I have issues getting into forward/reverse. I know any day now that one day...

    2016 Coleman 5HP 4-Stroke - Hard to start after running - Flooding?

    Hi Everyone. I must say I have not been happy with this motor (Parsun out of China actually makes these motors). It runs great, but for some reason now it seems to be flooding after its been running? Not sure. I take it on a small river/lake and it really runs well, but the darn thing is SO...

    Install Depth Finder New Pontoon

    Hello All, This may sound crazy, but recently purchased a 2016 Sylvan Pontoon. I did not purchase a trailer because I have a cottage on a lake in Western Michigan, so there really is no need for the trailer. The marina will pick up the pontoon at the end of the season for service/storage, and...

    1993 Mercury Black Max 135HP

    Hi Everyone, My mother is up at our cottage, sounds like we have a trim/tilt issue with our motor. I'm hoping to attach this video. I asked her to look for oil slicks on the water, looking for a bad trim cylinder, but doesn't sound like that is the issue. Does this appear to be more the trim...

    2016 Coleman 5HP 4-Stroke - Leaking Gear Oil?

    Hi Everyone, Moving this post from a previous forum, as I believe Parsun manufactures the smaller motors for Coleman. Just want to pick anyonons brain and see if they have seen this issue before or can offer a suggestion. I'll take the motor in for warranty as a last resort, but I have to...

    Coleman (Tohatsu) 5HP 4-stroke leaking lower unit oil

    Hi Everyone, I have a 5HP Coleman, which I believe is a Tohatsu, 4-stroke motor. This was purchased brand new last year, and it runs great. I've noticed recently that there seems to be a slow leak coming from one of the lower unit bolts (see photos). The strange this is, I've never loosened...

    Replacement Depth Finder for 1997 Powerquest 22' - Remove old?

    Hi Everyone, So my old Lowrance 3500 depth finder gauge hasn't worked in several years. I just bought a replacement Faria online, which includes the in hull transducer. Now, I'm not quite sure if this install will even be possible, after realizing that Powerquest probably installed the old...

    Old Sea King Outboard - No Water Circulation?

    Hi Everyone, My Uncle gave me an old Sea King outboard. Its in great shape, and I fired it up for a bit. Problem is, I don't believe it is circulating water. I removed the lower unit and checked the water impeller, and it looks almost brand new. I reinstalled (correctly of course, I checked and...

    Lowrance 3500 Depth Finder

    Hi Everyone, I've had the original Lowrance 3500 Depth Finder in my boat (Its a '97 Powerquest) since I bought the boat in 2002. I don't really think it works anymore. I've tried setting the shallow and deep alarms many, many times, but all it does is seem to flash. I'm sure it needs replacing...

    Gimbal Ring Replacement? - Mercruiser 7.4 Bravo One

    Hi Everyone, After hours of researching online, it looks like my Gimbal Ring (not sure about bearings, I'm not getting any noise) needs replacing. I have quite a bit of slop in my drive when I move it from side to side. From a video I watched from JR Marine, mine definitely needs some work...
