    Minn Kota Deckhand Anchor Winch vs. Talon or Power Pole

    I am looking for an efficient, cost effective way of holding my bass boat in light wind/current conditions. I've looked at the Talon and Power Poles. They are just too expensive and are limited by water depth. I was wondering if a Minn Kota Deckhand 40 would work. It could easily be mounted on...

    1987 Evinrude XP150 power trim pump runs by itself

    Yesterday, my 1987 Evinrude XP150 power trim pump motor started running without any of the three trim switches being pushed. I was outside and heard the pump turn on and looked and the motor was raising and no one was near the boat. I pushed the tilt switch located on the throttle arm down and...

    What is the pitch and diameter of this prop?

    I have a 1897 Evinrude XP150 and the only identifying writing on the prop is 600 348 TC. There is no brand make on it either. I was wondering if anyone know anything about this prop. It is a three blade stainless steel. Thanks!

    1987 Evinrude XP150 excessive smoke

    I have a 1987 Evinrude XP150 that smokes like a freight train. There is a local lake here that has a very long no wake zone from the ramp to the lake due to docks in the immediate area, and after I pass through, there is a layer of blue fog 60' wide for the entire length. When I start it on the...

    quicksilver 3000 throttle only button won't pop out

    I have a 1998 Nitro that has a quicksilver 3000 controller for the motor. Yesterday, the throttle only button stuck in, thus the motor wouldn't go into gear. I pulled the button out and there are four small plastic prongs on the end of it and one of them is broken off. I'm assuming that it fell...

    Need help identifying this motor

    I am having a difficult time identifying my motor manufacturer. The hood says "Tracker by Mercury Marine" on the sides. On the front, it says Force Mercury Marine, on the back it just says 120 horsepower. The serial number tag says 1998, 120ELPT, Mercury Marine, Brunswick Corp., Fond du Lac...

    1998 Force 120hp. runs rough mid RPM

    I have a 1998 Force (says powered by Mercury Marine) that is on a Nitro 170-LX that I just purchased. It starts easily, idles great, and smooth at WOT, however when accelerating from idle (either full throttle application or mid-way), it misses terribly and shakes the whole boat. Once up on...

    1998 120ELPT Mercury Tracker/Force Power Trim Gauge No Work Correctly

    Hey there. I have a 1998 Nitro that is equipped with a 120hp ELPT Tracker motor. Says powered by Mercury, however, also says Force on it. Anyway, the tilt/trim indicator on the dash only moves about from 3/4 to full up. When the motor is all of the way down, it still indicates that it is 3/4...

    1990 Johnson 150 hp vro and compression range question

    Good day all. I am purchasing a 1991 Nitro 185TX next weekend and it is equipped with a Johnson Tracker 150hp with oil injection. I've never had an oil-injected outboard, and frankly, it scares me. I've done some reading and it seems to be the opinion of most that if the VRO system is properly...

    1982 40 hp. Mercury outboard completely dead. Was OK an hour before.

    I have a 1982 Mercury 40 hp. outboard with the thunderbolt ignition that was working fine today at the lake. The last time I tried to start it, it acted like the battery wasn't even in the boat. There was no reaction at all to me turning the key. It acted like the kill switch was tripped, but it...

    1960 10hp Johnson QD-21

    I just purchased a boat that has a 1960 10hp Johnson motor on it. I've been trying for two days to get it running, with limited success. I have new sparks plugs, new fuel tank, and new fuel. It takes 25-30 pulls to get it to start, and then will only start when the throttle is at the idle...
