    removing a pontoon off the trailer on land

    I doubt that if I do not get out past the end of the rocks it will not be deep enough to float the pontoon. If I do go past the rocks the wheels will drop into muck. I have not waded out there since I dropped the BIG rocks into the pit mucky bottom but do know it was shin deep when I waded out...

    removing a pontoon off the trailer on land

    This is the ramp down to the edge of the pit where I placed the BIG rocks. I hope I can get the trailer in and out of this so as to load the pontoon back on. NOT doing so before has me wondering if the trailer wheels will go off the rocks and then sink into the muck making it hard to pull back...

    removing a pontoon off the trailer on land

    This is what I have done. The BIG rocks should provide something for the trailer wheels to keep out of the much until I get to the end of them.

    removing a pontoon off the trailer on land

    Been away from this for a while but did do some work on the pit since my last post. I had numerous BIG boulders from when we built our house stacked up so I did some dirt work and then put some boulders into the pit as far out as I could reach and maneuver. I also put in the dock and had to...

    removing a pontoon off the trailer on land

    This is my private pit that we just built a home on. Haven't had much time to do much in the pit until just recently. Just built a dock out 10' and is why I know the bottom is mucky.

    removing a pontoon off the trailer on land

    I wouldn't know where to even begin doing that. I didn't think a strip pit would have such muck on the bottom to sink into. There is a bank with a slight slope but the water isn't but a couple feet deep for a ways out. I put a 10foot long dock in and was only about crotch deep including...

    removing a pontoon off the trailer on land

    I have a 55HP tractor with a front-end loader (no trailer hotch on that) BUT do have clamp on forks and thought originally that I would lift the stern up and drive the trailer out from under that end, sit it down and lift the bow up enough to drive out from under it. After reading about it...

    removing a pontoon off the trailer on land

    I realize this is an old post but I have bought a 20' pontoon that I replaced the decking and carpeting on to put into our strip pit that has NO ramp. It is on a bunk trailer and I'm trying to figure out how to get it into the pit without tearing it up. The bottom seems to be about shin deep...

    90 Mercury 40HP motor

    I have had some local inquiries about parting out this motor but I know nothing about it. The marina stated it had power trim but didn't say anything about tilt. Beings I have no idea what is what on this motor does it have both power tilt and trim or can it have one or the other? Any idea of...

    90 Mercury 40HP motor

    I don't know but the electrical harness was unplugged in the motor and the diagnosis was as stated above. No fire and a horn going off made me think maybe a reader of some sort.

    90 Mercury 40HP motor

    I suspect they plugged some sort of diagnostic I suspect they put some sort of diagnostic reader into the wiring harness and didn't do much more than that. Might have put a bore scope into the #3 and 4low compression cylinders to see scoring as they did specify, they were scored. Looked like...
