    17' Twin Vee Fisherman Help

    I'm looking at purchasing this boat. Its a 2000 w/ 50 Johnson; hull is close to pristine. My big strike against it - it appears to lack the ability to rig a bow/bracket mounted trolling motor. There doesn't appear to be a way to run power to the bow either. Anyone have any success with doing...

    Merc 25 Anode/Trim Tab

    When I first got my '92 Merc 25 HP Manual put on my 15' Weld-Craft back in '93, I was not able to get my Anode/Trim Tab in a correct position. After many adjustments it was always pulling to one side making it uncomfortable to steer. One day I caught some oyster shell that wacked the thing...

    Still Leaking Oil

    I'm stumped. Have a '92 Mercury 25 HP 2 Stroke. Noticed that dark black oil would slowly leak out of prop after running it. Many people were saying that it could be the inner/outer oil seals in the bearing carrier. They have never been looked at or changed so I went ahead a replaced these...

    oil seal replacement

    I have a 25 HP '92 Mercury. Just pulled out the bearing carrier assembly to replace the 2 oil seals. I removed the old seals by tapping them out with a hammer and nail driver as the manual suggested. This took a little time as they did not come out easy. My question is how do I get the new...

    Painting Aluminum Decks

    I see many helpful topics about painting aluminum boats but my situation is a little different. I just ripped off the old carpet and glue from the front and back decks of my 15'4" Weld Craft; I then sanded down the aluminum. I'm considering painting the decks instead of recarpeting. I see...

    Determining spark plug gap

    I have a 93 25HP Merc. Trying to determine the measurements for gapping spark plugs. I finally broke down and bought a Seloc manual for my 1993 25 Mercury. I see a chart for "Piston to cylinder clearance" and "Piston Ring End Gap", but no dimensions for 6-25 HP's are given. It just says...

    Carpet Alternatives-Non Slip

    I've been fighting with carpet since day one of buying my boat. Yes, it's comfortable but I am looking for other alternatives that don't need to be replaced every 3-5 years. <br />I considered rhino liner/LineX or other spray on liners. I'm thinking its too heavy, too expensive, too hot, too...
