    Battery Switch Bypass Question

    I just had both battery switches (Blue Seas 6011) fail on my twin outboard, three battery boat; this is a known problem with these switches and the company is sending me replacements at no cost. It's currently in a slip and needs to be moved about two miles to the ramp in the next day or so...

    Building Aft and Bow Decks

    Hello iBoats, I have been on the forums here for a while now; mostly reading but occasionally asking questions with great results. I have an old flats boat that had a completely rotted deck though luckily after removal, i found that the stringers were solid. Everything is now out of the boat...

    How to sell an Outboard As Is

    Hello iboats, I'm trying to sell a 2008 200 hp E-tec. It is just a motor, and I live in an apartment, so right now the engine is on a pallet in my storage unit. I'd prefer to sell to an independent buyer as I believe this will be more money in my pocket. What is the best way for me to display...

    Clicking Noise in Lower Unit While in Neutral

    Hey iBoats, it's been a while since my last post which I guess is a good thing. I have a 1997 90 hp Mariner 3 cyl 2 stroke. I was recently having trouble with my shifting that I resolved with a new bearing carrier (old one was cracked along both bolts and was about 1/4 inch from flush with my...

    Lower unit clicking in both directions while in neutral

    Hey iBoats, it's been a while since my last post which I guess is a good thing. I was recently having trouble with my shifting that I resolved with a new bearing carrier (old one was cracked along both bolts and was about 1/4 inch from flush with my gearcase) and a new clutch dog (old one was...

    1999 90 hp Mariner 2 stroke - Shift Cable

    Hey guys, I bought a 18 ft flats boat last fall and have been fixing up the engine over the past few months. When I purchased it and took it out for the first time, I discovered that it would not shift into reverse (I know, sea test next time!). This didn't appear to be causing any other...

    90 hp Mariner - fuel line issue

    My learn-to-DIY outboard is once again giving me problems! I have had my 1999 90 hp Mariner for just about 6 months and have been slowly working through replacing all of the upper unit. I bought the boat cheap and will fix a problem, get her running for a week or two, then have a new problem to...

    Mariner 1999 Solenoid (?) Issue

    Hey folks, Relatively recently I purchased a 1999 Mariner 90 hp 2 stroke. I've taken it out quite a few times with no major issues to speak of. For the last month, the boat has been sitting on the trailer while I repaint the deck. To keep the boat in running order (or so I thought), I have been...

    2001 Mariner 90hp

    Hey folks, looking for some advice here. I've found a nice little flats boat that I'm thinking about purchasing that's equipped with a 2001 90hp Mariner. I work in fisheries but don't know too much about engines themselves. I've been asking around at work and some people have told me to go...

    Can I Tow It?

    Hey guys, I recently had to sell my truck and am now left with a 2012 Scion xB as my only vehicle. I have no interest in getting myself into a sticky situation while trailering a boat, as I've seen what that can lead to. I'm looking at purchasing a 16' fiberglass poling skiff with a 40 hp...
