    1991 Bayliner Trophy Livewell Location

    I have a 1991 Bayliner Trophy 2002FF (Outboard). I just replaced my Fishwell pump and thought I'd replace my Livewell pump while I'm at it. Does anyone know the location of the pump? I don't seem to see it in the splash well deck plate. Is it under the bait tank itself, accessible by removing...

    Mercury 9.9 kicker, tried to start in gear, now flywheel not being engaged

    Bonehead move. I have a 1998 Mercury 9.9HP 4 stroke kicker, tiller model, manual start. Ran perfect day before. Tried to pull start the motor, but of course it wouldn't pull because it was in gear. Now the cord just pulls out and retracts never engaging the flywheel. The pinion gear is not...

    Dash Rocker Switch Covers

    Anyone have say between a 1991-1995 Bayliner Trophy 2002FF and have replaced the rocker switch covers on the dash? I have painted mine, but am still not thrilled with them. If anyone knows where to get ones that would fit and be the same size, let me know please. Thanks, Mike

    Kicker not peeing

    I have a 1998 Mercury 9.9 four stroke kicker. While trolling at the end of the season last year, I noticed the engine was not peeing. So I shut her down and came home. Fired her up the next day, and she was peeing so I thought maybe there was a temporary blockage at the water intake. So I...

    Jacking up Trailer during winter

    I have decided to put my trailer on axle stands this winter to get the tires off the ground. We are told when jacking up the axle, to do so as close to the wheel as possible, presumably so you don't bend the axle. Is this an okay place to put the axle stands? I certainly don't want to bend my...

    Lower Cowl Removal

    Hi: How do you remove the lower cowling on a 2000 Mercury 150? (the two pieces of plastic splits in two). I am trying to install a Seastar hydraulic cylinder and there is not enough head room to install the bolt through the cylinder pivot plate down through the threaded tiller arm. Has anyone...

    Trim tab wiring help

    Hi, I just installed the Bennett M120 kit with the EIC5000. The helm switch has an orange wire (the power) and a purple wire which is the autoretract. Both of these I believe should be connected to switched circuits (on when the key is on and off when it is turned off). I have a normal fuse...

    Trim Tab Switch Wiring

    Hi all: I have a 1991 Bayliner Trophy WA, and will be installing Bennett trim tabs with the EIC5000 which functions as a rocker switch, tab position indicator, and auto tab retractor. For the retract feature, I need to wire one of the leads from the rocker switch to a circuit that is only hot...

    Mercury 9.9 outboard questions

    Hi everyone: I have a new to me 1998 Mercury 9.9HP 4-stroke with a manual start. Is there no choke on this engine? It takes about a dozen wickedly hard pulls to get it started. And is there anyway to increase rpms while it idles to warm it up without putting the tiller handle in gear? Of...

    No spark Mercury 150

    I bought a new to me 91 Trophy with a year 2000 Mercury 150 2-stroke about 6 weeks ago. Ran perfectly during sea trial. Started it up about a month ago with the muffs in the driveway. Since that time, have installed new horn, rewired the navigational lights, installed a GPS/depth sounder unit...

    Flushing the engine at home

    Hi: I have a 2000 Mercury 150 outboard and I like to warm up the engine at home on the trailer before taking it down to the ramp. Of course, the same thing at the end of the day for flushing. I live in a very quiet community and the sound of my engine with the muffs on sounds like 3 harley's...

    Trophy Teak Louvres

    Hey Fellow Trophy Owners: Regarding the "teak shutter" on the cuddy door and the starboard side trim, has anyone done anything to make them look better-stain them, varnish, anything?. If I apply like four coats of teak oil, it only lasts a couple days and then it goes back to looking all faded...

    GPS/Sounder Installation questions

    Hi Everyone: I am about to install a new Garmin GPSMap 520s sounder unit (with the new G2 Vision SD card-has anyone tried these yet and have an opinion?) and have a few basic questions. I have a 1991 Bayliner Trophy 2002. 1) Regarding wiring to the the fuse panel, it says to have a 3A fuse on...
