    trailer jack sizing & selection

    I am looking to buy a trailer jack and I'm not sure what the weight rating means, I haven't had luck searching the web for an answer. I've seen 800, 1000, 1500 and 2000 lb models for boat trailers. Does the weight rating refer to the tongue weight that the jack can hold? I have a 21 foot...

    Replacement oil / fuel mixer?

    I have an old 1987 Mercury Black Max 200 h.p. outboard motor. One of the previous owners had removed the oil mixing tank and system off of the engine for putting two-stroke oil into the fuel. So I have to pre-mix the oil in the gas tank the old fashioned way. I had heard from several people...

    1978 Mercury model 200 (20 h.p.) not starting

    I have a Mercury model 200 that will not start. I had the bowl on the carbeurator fixed last year because it had a leak, the choke is working fine, and it has brand new plugs, but it will still not start. About every 20 pulls on the cable it will backfire once, but nothing happens. <br /> I...

    Another mystery Mercury

    I have another engine I'd like to find out more about. It's a Mercury "Merc 200", serial number 4714544 that is a 20 horsepower engine. It looks like it is circa late 70's but runs really good. If anyone knows the year and any tidbits about this motor I would appreciate it. Also, the rudder...

    200 h.p. Mercury Black Max

    I just purchased a used boat that has a 200 h.p. Mercury "Black Max" outboard on it. The guy told me the motor was bought new in 1992 but the serial number tag is missing half of the number (worn off). Does anyone have an idea of what year this motor might be or is there another location I can...
