The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
Hi Gents,
I forgot I hadn't tidied up this thread, and finished reporting on what went down.
Last year I did get my Buddy to buy a Hydrofoil suitable for his engine. Then he procrastinated for the rest of the year and never got it mounted. This year we went Lake fishing in June with his lake...
Hi Guys,
I'm back at Paul Lake (with the Misses this time) but still looking for the Mercury Owners & Service Manual for my Buddy. This 35 HP seems to be only made for a short time and a free Service Manual (part # 90-42794--1 / 690) is hard to find.
Thanks @boscoe99 . The parts pages certainly indicate this should be capable of charging:
Now I have the
Model 1035312GD
Serial# 0C145285
A Site I looked at said: A "0" in front of the serial number is not significant, it's a placeholder only for Mercury's software.
The Lund 16 Rebel SS...
@jimmbo Thanks for noticing the Charging Stator, I didn't see that in the parts list. I did notice the rectifier and realized that should be in the charging circuit if there is one.
Is there any way to tell what is installed on this engine from the serial number? I'm still looking for the...
Hi Gents,
I'm up in the BC interior fishing with my buddy on his boat. He's got a 35 HP Merc 2 Cycle with electric start, but he claims it came (used to him ages ago) with Electric Start but no Alternator for charging the battery. So we are charging the batteries at night on day 2.
It's serial...
I decided to see if I could get an OEM Filter in Kamloops but the local authorized Mercury shop didn't have anything in stock. He did say the Mercury part number is 8M0207786. Some folks cross reference this to #14991 or #18206001 or #14687A2 or #14687A4 depending who I talked to; or what...
Hi Gents,
I have a 1992 Mercury 100 HP => S/N 0D129908 with low hours that's always been kept indoors mounted on it's 1991 16 foot Larson All American; except when it's on the water (fresh of course). My brother owned the boat before me, and it was his "Baby", and he treated it like one.
I...
Hi again Gents,
FYI, the boat is a 2001 Lund 2000 Fisherman OB. We went fishing in Howe Sound last month. (He wants me to go again tomorrow but there's a 70% chance of Rain, but I'm a Fairweather Fisherman type, so I'm probably going to decline.)
Anyway, last month we had a lot of Prawn Traps...
Hi Gents,
One of the reasons I haven't got an accurate ID for the Model of the Lund and any Pics, is my Buddy is over at his Cottage on Gabriola Island for the first time since Covid hit. He's trying to setup a remote Web-Cam if he can get the internet sorted with a neighbor.
And no, he didn't...
Thanks for the inputs so far Gents. Sorry, the Honda is 130 HP and 500 pounds. When on plane the boat scoots well above 35 MPH. My Buddy said he got it near 40 with him alone and empty on flat water.
We'd certainly have to see if there is anything in the way, and I am expecting perhaps the...
Hi Gents,
A good Buddy of mine has a new to him 19' 11" Lund Aluminum Boat with a 1999 Honda 4 stroke OB. (I'm not 100% sure yet on the model but he said it's a 2000 SE Adventure - I think its the 2000 Fisherman. He lives 25 miles away and put it away for a while so I haven't got to confirm.) ...
Gents,
We bought a Minn Kota MK55 and mounted it last year, but in doing so we lost a "foot hold" we used to climb onto the small 2 rung stock folding ladder that came with the Larson :facepalm...
Re: Minn Kota MK55/EM Engine Mount Trolling Motor- Tips on installing onto a 100 HP M
I got up to the Cabin last weekend for a "work" weekend (no fishing, boating, etc. :() but we did install and test (open air) the MK55/EM. As I never even saw one before buying it, I was surprised how big it...
Gents,
I took the plunge and decided to order tonight (here - did I make the right move?? :facepalm: :redface:) a new Minn Kota MK55/EM Engine Mount for my 16.5 foot Larson Bowrider. (The Memorial Day Sale made it very attractive.... :rolleyes:)
I'm going to mount it on our 100 HP Merc. which...
Gents,
Sorry if this is a stupid question but my Brother who sold me his old boat (and I'm taking it out for the first time on Thursday) was saying the specifications are the same for the 90 & 100 & 115 HP versions of this motor. He suggested there was some "electronic" wizardry that gave more...
Folks,
I recently bought (last week - I get delivery next Thursday) a 1991 Larson All American 170 Bowrider Outboard (with a 1992 Mercury 100 HP Engine with ~ 550 Hours on it - 99% in Fresh water). I got it from my Brother who's babied it since new. (The whole family calls it "The Baby" as it's...
