I have a 2002 18CC and just bought a Todd leaning post. I need to remove the current pedestal seats. The screws just spin, I need to cut an access hole to get at the nuts on the through bolts.
When I look up toward the bow of the boat from the battery compartment there is a "wall" that starts...
Anything special I need to do the prepare my merc for winter? I plane and running with muffs, to remove any water, adding seafoam to gas, and fogging the cylinders. I want to be able to fish in the late fall, early winter and early spring. So the motor will only sit a few month I hope...
I love this boat. I got it a couple months ago. Great Salmon fishing in Lake Michigan, and does a fine job pulling kids on the tube.
To date I have:
Washed and waxed repeatedly
Replaced the sending unit
Changed the spark plugs
Changed the fuel filter
Changed the oil
Removed some nasty rust...
An easy question I think. After I accelerate with the motor trimmed all the way down, I can trim it up fine, all works well. When I'm slowing down I can't trim it up. It's like the trim is slipping or something but the motor will not trim up until I'm at idle then it works fine again. Is this...

I'm a handy guy, I like to think I can fix anything but this gauge was a...

This story seems "fishy" to me. I was told...
I just bought my first boat, a 2002 Sea Pro 18.5 CC. The motor is a 2002 115 Mercury 4-stroke. It steers very hard. It has a cable going into a tube that looks like the deal on a screen door. I'm assuming that it is not working correctly. How easy should this boat be to steer?
Also as a first...
After years of looking and procrastination I finally bought a boat, a 2002 190 Sea Pro CC with a 115 four-stroke Merc. I had been looking at boats that were much more $$ and when I found this one I had to buy it. I had never heard of the brand before and did my research here on iboats. After...
