    Winterize a 2009 Mercury 9.9 ?

    Right, I have a 2009 Mercury 9.9 and of course it's a 4-stroke? Do I need to winterize it? As in, run anti-freeze thru it on the muffs? It'll be stored on it's stand, in my garage. I'm in Smithfield, NC and we do get a couple weeks of nights under 32 degrees. I thought I'd read elsewhere that...

    I'm looking for.......

    I'm looking for a lake that has some mountains around it, near Smithfield, NC. When I say "near", I want to be able to get there in about 3 or 4 hours, max. I just want to boat and see fall foliage on the mountains at the same time. We ride the Harley on the Blue Ridge Parkway, but I want to see...

    Saltwater ???

    Quick question. I have a 2009 Mercury 9.9 freshwater engine on a 2009 Avon Rover 310 Lite RIB. I'm going to the ICW Saturday for some island hopping and exploring. I know I need to flush the motor and wash it off when I get it home, I guess I'm just wondering how bad the saltwater is on it if...

    Oh happy day !!!

    Now I’m all set, pic of my Avon and a pic of the Shorelander Tadpole trailer I picked up today. It was a pain hauling the RIB in my SUV, get to the lake, get it out of the bag, inflate it, set it on the water, haul the Merc 9.9 over to it and get it mounted. By that time I was dripping wet...

    2009 Mercury 9.9

    Just bought a RIB with the 2009 Merc 9.9. My question is, how much water does it need to be in to start it in my driveway? He had it in a garbage can with 3 ' of water, but that seems like over kill. Reason I'm asking, after having it in saltwater, it needs to be flushed and he said you can't...

    http://images.craigslist.org/3n03k03p05O15P45R4b8f26e385a865ca1037.jpg I'm just curious why people would have an inflatable boat if it's not to use as a dinghy on a yacht? Personally, I think they're cool and I would like to have 1, but I don't know why??? I saw the above 14' with a 25 horse...
