    trim sender on mariner 80

    So I have an early 80's mariner 80hp S/N 6172279 and I am trying to hook install a trim gauge but do not know where the sender is. There is a limit switch (I think) by the left hand trim cylinder and it has two wires coming out of if that have not been hooked up since I have had the motor...

    two trailers, one decision

    I may have gotten in over my head. I recently acquired a 1986 SEA OX 200 center console boat. Doing a little research I found that the boat has a hull weight of 2400lb and a beam width of 8'. The trailer that came with the boat is a moody drive on. Here is where the problems start. I am not...

    trolling motor info

    So I just bought a 20' sea ox and I doubt that my minn kota 33at will even reach the water from the bow. I really don't know as it has not been in the water yet, but could any of you that have experience on this boat recommend a trolling motor length that would work for this boat?

    mix and match Control cables

    I just bought a used sea ox with a set of steering cables that are probably off a yamaha(i am assuming since that is the key in the ignition. These cables only have threaded portions on the end of them and no fittings or anything. These cables also fit into the remote box but it looks like...

    1977 Evinrude 25hp lower unit removal

    A buddy of mine gave me a 1977 (I think) evinrude 25hp outboard. It has not been started in years, so I am starting to attempt to get her back in service if possible. I am trying to start with the water pump, but cannot get the lower unit off. I took the 4 bolts on the lower unit off, and the...

    thoughts on a possible new to me boat

    Just wondering if anyone knows this boat or has any thoughts on it. I have ran across a good deal on a boat listed as a 1986 Traveler 186 Sea Lion Center Console. Anyone have any input or what not on this boat? It currently does not have a motor but I would be putting a 1983 Mariner 80hp on...

    tilt/trim and starting problems

    Let me start off by saying that I am new to this forum and to the boating world. And a little history would probably be in order as well. I got my first boat last summer and fished with it all summer. The boat was a 1983 Thundercraft 15ft. with a 80hp mariner also a 1983 with power...
