    Brand New Boat

    We got a new Lund a few years back. The 1st time we take it to the lake we expected everything to go smooth since I've boated my whole life. Wrong! Boat launches fine.

    Fuel/Water Separator

    Do outboards come with a fuel/water separator? I have a 2002 Mercury 75HP 2-Stroke? I looked at a few here on i-boats and it looks like they connect to the fuel line externally? So maybe they don't, not sure? Also the motor does have a thermostat. Where is it? Is it like a thermometer I can...

    Hi All,<br /> I was wondering if there was a screw or a way to simply adjust the fuel air mixture on my outboard or something. I know I'll always lose power at high elevations but anything will help. I'll be using it at about 8,000-9,000 feet above sea level (only a few times a year though)...
