    1972 Mercury 402 40hp. Stator needs replaced. Should I Upgrade?

    No experience with the 402 but if its feasible, and thats what you want, why not? It was an option, and shouldn't be to difficult.

    USB charger

    If the adaptor would end up in the lake, would the charging cord also? Or the phone? Why would you ever need to remove the usb adaptor from the port? Just asking, cause I don't get it. Make sure you are getting 2.4, or 3 amps or more, per port, or you won't be doing much charging. The built...

    Holy CARP. If I had 28' of chain, I couldn't lift it, BUT... I wouldn't need an anchor. :)

    Moller and other compliant ventless portable tank

    Hmmmm, I wonder if loosening the cap a little when parking the boat, would prevent pressure build up, and thus keep the tank from leaking? I wonder. No I don't. I KNOW the answer. Just like I know if you disconnect the hose from the motor, the pressure in the tank will not force fuel into...

    Set up

    Looks like a nice fishing boat. Your dealer must have sold several of these by now and he should be able to recommend the best prop for your needs. He should have a lower pitch one that will give you quick planing and slow trolling speeds. Or a higher pitch one that will be a little slower to...

    90elpto was perfect now cranks but no exhaust

    Never ceases to amaze me how many people will continue to run a boat for 1 - 2 or 5 hours after it has told them something is wrong. Kind of like my wife who's truck started acting "a little funny" 5 minutes after she left the house. But it went better if she gave it more gas. So she continued...

    Which boat? Brit in Canada ..

    . ""I think I need a 20’ bow rider to get 8 or 9 maybe people in. "" I think you're gonna need a bigger boat. 22-24' boats provide much more space. I was out on a 20' ranger last weekend, and although its looks huge and roomy, I wouldn't want more than 5-6 people on board. Same with my...

    Last American Eagle II ever made??

    How in the world is anyone going to prove you wrong? I guess I could declare that mine was made after yours, and ask you to prove me wrong. Its simply an impossible task unless you have all the manufacturing records from the factory, IF they even made any records. If yours was made in August...

    1985 50HP 4-cylinder power loss

    You bought a cheap knockoff starter and rolled the dice. It failed, as expected. There are good quality aftermarket starters out there, about half the price of oem.

    Towing over rough terrain with outboard down?

    Doesn't matter what the law was in '66. The law says all batteries must be secured, and terminals covered. There's a reason.
