    MinnKota Power Drive "Deploy Assist" upgrade

Last year they updated the PD's with a Deploy Assist lever that makes putting the motor down for...

I ran it on a set of dual flow muffs, and it started right up and water flowed out the pee hole right away. Water also flowed out of four other holes at about the same rate, they are...

    OOPs Forgot the plug

    Okay this maybe a stupid question, but I bet more than one person on this site has forgot to put the plug in the boat. It almost happened to me a couple of times and then did. I had a buddy back the boat in as I was in the drives seat ready to start the motor. As the boat came off the trailer I...

    VRO YES or NO

    Okay, I have spent hours on this site searching and reading about the three types of oiling systems on OMC outboards. I read the article in the FAQ section but still have doubts. I am not sure if my 1993 90hp has the VRO2 or the OMS system and I have never run an outboard with the either one...

    84 SS160 O/B size

    My SS's compliance plate say's 90hp max, would a mid 90's 115 be too much. I think the weight is almost the same as 90. I may have a great deal way too good to pass up, as my 75 hp is toast. Thanks Glen
