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.
Is it normal for the base plate on my Merc 800's water pump to be difficult to remove. I can't get it off with my hands and was just wondering if I should try to wedge it off with a flathead screwdriver? I just don't want to bust anything if I can avoid it. Thank you gentlemen.
I was looking inside my 69' Merc 800 the other day and noticed many wires that had the insulation around them crumbling away. Do I have to use exact replacement wires from MErcury, if there is such a thing, or can I get a certain gauge and type of wire from the hardware store/Radio Shack, etc...
I thank all who gave input into assisting me in a pontoon boat. Now, I have to think about powering the thing. I think my budget will keep me in the 60-75 hp ballpark. Maybe a 50-60 hp 4 stroke or a 75-90 two stroke. Below are the current promotions from most of the major brands. What looks good...

OK, I own a 16 foot Silverline and love it but now I'm looking for something bigger. So the admiral and I go to the boat show last weekend in Columbus, OH. I'm looking at powerboats and she just keeps rolling her eyes. THis is a sure sign of disapproval in "my" house, so we continue just to walk...
I just had a seal kit put on as well as the water pump redone. Taking the LU off wasn't that bad, I'm just wondering what I need to watch for as I put it back on. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks<br /><br />1969 Mercury 800
