I live on Coinjock Bay, just off Currituck Sound in NC. Had my boat over for about 3 or 4 mos and now I
have barnacles on the bottom. It is a fiberglass boat, so what is the best method to remove them
without scratching the bottom...
I have a 1999 Sprint bass boat that has developed a few elect. problems.

the pump, but when I tried it with the switch- nothing. I can run a hot...
I am new to the Yamaha forum. Over the years I have had several Merc
outboards- 90hp merc in line 6, 50hp blue stripe, and a merc 90hp 3cyl- but
I have just purchased my first Yamaha. It is a 1999 C150TLRX on a 1999
Sprint 280pro. When I was going to replace my plugs on the 50 and 90hp
Mercs...
I am looking at buying a 1999 Stratos (per seller) and the photo shows to
be a 286 pro, but I cannot find any info on a 286 pro. Nada shows a

pro?
Thanks...

Trying to help a neighbor. He just bought a used (1998?) mercury 200hp
outboard. He needs a new impeller. While trying to look up the impeller
on line the serial # doesn't seem to match up. His motor says 200efi xl but

external serial # plate but found a small plug on the right hand side of motor

Last weekend I purchased a 1989 (per customer) 90hp 3cyl mercury outboard.
Due to weather and work it is still laying in the bed of my truck. I was

to make sure it would shift. the prop free wheels in one direction...

sitting up for about one year (was serviced at local bass pro shop last Nov.)

fuel. It happened before and I could remove and clean the carb, then the
problem would go away for a few days. Now I have rebuilt the upper carb
again and tried a different carb from a spare engine and still have the...
I have a 1983 Merc 50hp 4cyl. On the left side of the engine there is a
semi transpartent bowl that you can see the fuel in. (fuel filter?) Does it
just spin on (threaded) or what else. I have tried to turn it off but it gets
real hard to turn and I don't want to break it.
I keep having...
