    How to sink a boat!!!

    Sorry if this has been linked before. Many things lead up to the boat sinking, the list would be long, but I'm linking it to show just how fast it actually goes down after taking on water. People may think twice about the value of flotation foam after watching this, there is no time to do...

    Roof issues, need opinions and ideas

    Starting this up again, new details. Well, right after looking into this earlier this year we had a record amount rain for a few months and the river started changing course, lost 100+ feet yard and it's continuing to erode. I put a stop to the idea of a new roof because the house may get red...

    The yard is getting smaller, the river likes my place.

    After a $500,000 river bank enhancement project on the property just up stream from me that lasted about one year before it failed, I'm loosing land quickly. This drone video shows part of the failing bank project that redirected the flow right into my land. That little rocky island mid stream...

    New roof $$$ shock

    We had some severe storms here at the end of last year and our comp roof aged rapidly during the stress, resulting in some leaks that aren't easy to fix so I figured it was time for it to be replaced. The first estimate for a metal roof came in at $35,000. This roof has a shallow pitch, maybe...

    I must have made the wrong person mad

    My iPad view of this site just changed dramatically when I disagreed with someone in a thread. The look changed and the entire site is surrounded (framed) by frowning red-faced emoticons. Had to post this from my phone

    How to shop for a prop on this site??

    When I try to look for a prop all I can do is bring up the Solas advertisement, nothing more, no way to actually look up the correct prop. Doing this from an iPad, so that could be the problem.

    Extreme data usage nightmare

    I have Verizon and our data usage is out of control on the jet pack. We have a family package with three phones and the jet pack for internet on the laptops. The issue is over the last year or so our data usage has gone up even though our lap top usage has dropped to almost zero to keep it...

    Odd look to some forums again

    This happened before and then was fixed, now it seems like it started again. The text is centered in the box and the adds and other stuff at the top of the page don't load correctly. I tried to copy and paste the example from the J/E section but when I post it here it looks normal. I didn't...

    Link and sync 2005 90 ELPTO

    After doing many searches I haven't found any info on this subject for this motor. By looking at it I don't think it is right, the roller doesn't touch and the marks don't line up. Anybody have a link or instructions? #OT983419 Thanks

    2005 90 2 stroke carbed..buying one??

    My Evinrude 90 decided it wanted to be a 3 cylinder model instead of 4, so it's time for a new one. I know the good and bad points of the J/E line, but don't know much about these years of Mercs. I may buy one of these tomorrow and want to be well armed with info before I do any negotiating...

    90 crossflow, 15 good years..and then.

    Had an odd lean sneeze at idle one day, figured something was plugging a low speed jet so cleaned the carb, it was spotless inside but I figured maybe I just didn't see the gunk. Took it back out and it ran exactly the same, still had the lean sneeze at idle when cold, once warm it would go...

    Skinny water...how shollow will you run in?

    People frequently ask me about how much water is required to run my jet boat. This river looks very similar to the river I live on and because of the lack of rain this year the channels look just like this. I don?t take it to this extreme, well not on purpose, but it happens, the aluminum on...

    Charging system improvements

    I have an 8hp merc on my boat as a kicker for trolling, I recently put a charging stator and rectifier on it so I can charge my batteries during the long hours of trolling with the electronics running. These standard charging systems are a little on the weak side and because it is running at, or...

    Since my 1998 2 stroke 8hp merc is a Tohastu, will these charging system parts work on it? I ask this because the Merc parts are no longer available. Thanks http://www.tohatsuoutboardparts.com/Electrical-Kits.html

    Totaled truck, insurance payout?

    My son graduated from college and was back home for about 2 weeks and totaled my truck today, it was the other guys fault and he got the ticket not my son. We also called and had my son added to our policy right when he got back home, so that?s not a problem. This was a 2002 F150 4x4 with...

    Starting a large OB with a rope..turns into a weed eater.

    A friend of mine that's a guide had his battery die while out fishing with some clients. He had started large OBs with a rope before, so when the time came he pulled the cowl off the 150HP Merc and wrapped the rope around the flywheel. His motor starts easily, so it didn't take huge pull for it...
