I have a 1986 Mercury 115 inline 6, It is hard to crank when it is cold. I have searched and read where they are hard to crank when cold. But I noticed today when pumping the fuel bulb, fuel shot out the right side of the carb on the float bowl, it only does it on the top carb. It looks like a...
I have a kind of a stupid question. I bought a new (to me) boat and trailer over the weekend. It has about 6 double bulb lights down the sides, 2 on the back for stop and turn, and 4 single blub lights across the rear. Is that to much of a load for the wiring? It does look cool at night with the...

My question is, I have a Chrysler motor, Walmart sells a male...
I have a few different questions for yall. I just recently purchased an older tri hull boat (it is a Caddo I believe) with a Chrysler 35 hp motor. I had it out about 2 weeks for the first time. Rode it around for about and hour and used about 3 gallons of gas, does that sound about right...
