    Advice on a 1989 MFG Caprice

    Does anyone have any experience with an 89 MFG Caprice? It looks "Whaler-ish" but I can't find much online. Here is the ad: 17' Center Console, 55 Yamaha, Trailer and it's about five minutes away so I might as well go take a look. The water puring out of the boat in the picture does not give me...

    Revised: HELP...Changing Impeller/Water Pump on '97 60 HP Mariner, Any Advice?

    Tomorrow I tackle, for the first time, the impeller/water pump for a 1997 60 HP Mariner. Is there anything I should know before, during, or after I do it? I heard that I should make sure the prop shaft is still in neutral when I put the lower unit back on, but other than that it is pretty...

    How to start/test a 1975 15 HP Seahorse without pull cord?

    I hope I'm not asking this in the wrong place, but how does one compression test etc an outboard that needs a pull cord and lacks electric start?

    Help me with a steering system

    So I am set up for stick steering and I really like it, but in my setup it actually takes up the same/more room than a side console would. Boat is a 1648 MonArk Mod V powered by a 1991 25 HP Tohatsu that runs perfectly. I am going to build a center or side console so I have a few questions I...

    Love Stick Steering -But Turning Question

    As the title says, I absolutely love stick steering. I like sitting in the middle of the boat, and not having to move toward the back, and quickly hop up on the platform for some fishing. The motor starts on the first turn of the key, runs like a top. I did notice, however, that it is more...

    2002 Yamaha 9.9 Four Stroke Electric Start

    I jumped on a deal today for a motor. It's a 2002 T9.9ELHA, I checked around and it seemed to be a good motor - and it's in basically mint condition. No scratches, nothing. He said he hasn't ran it in about 5 years, so doing the math it means it's like 3 years old or so. Said he used it a bunch...
