    '92 Force Lower Unit

    Ok, my Dad has ended up with a 1992 Force 150 (Model 1508C92A / Serial 026716) that was "supposed" to be in good condition other than a broken cavitation plate and skeg. But, after removing the lower, the water pump housing has been glued/rigged back together and the lower unit is out of oil...

    Mariah Z220 Weight

    I have a 1996 Mariah Talari Z220, 7.4 Bravo III, with a Heritage trailer. I was wondering if anyone that has one knows the actual weight of this boat and trailer. Also, I would like to know what size fuel tank these boats were installed with. I can barely see the tank from the bilge, (it's...

    Optima Marine Batteries...Your Opinion

    Bought a used boat this past fall, and it came with an Optima Marine battery. I've not had any problems with this battery at all. We've run the radio for quite a while while swimming and such, and it still cranks over my BB just fine. <br /><br />I want to install another battery and selector...
