    Going from single battery to dual battery

    I'm wanting to convert my single battery to a dual battery system but I've never done this with an outboard motor. Just making sure there isnt any charging issues from an outboard which I should be aware of. And for those who've done this, what did you use for your setup? Thanks.

    Bed-liner on pontoons...?

    Has anyone ever sprayed, or rolled on, bed-liner on their tubes? I've seen people paint pontoons but I haven't seen anything about bedliner. I would think bed-liner would be far more durable than paint and even offer some denting resistance and scrapping resistance over that of paint. Now just...

    Is there a "best" ear muff type flush?

    I'd like to perform an oil change on my new to me 2005 Mercury 90 4 stroke. Previous owner always had the marina shop do all the maintenance, therefore he never ran the motor out of the body of water.

    Alum or SS prop for 24' pontoon

    I recently posted a question in the pontoon section regarding prop selection and was advised to post in the prop section for better results: We recently acquired a Sun Tracker 24' pontoon boat. Very nice condition as the PO really cared for it.....or seemed to. The engine is a Mercury efi 90...

    Right prop for 24' pontoon

    Hello all, first post. We recently acquired a Sun Tracker 24' pontoon boat. Very nice condition as the PO really cared for it.....or seemed to. The engine is a Mercury efi 90 hp which replaced the 40 hp it was originally equipped with. The boat scoots along nicely at (I'm guessing) a moderate...
