Greetings,
I have a 1999 Maxum bowrider. I need to replace the vinly on the cushion attached to the sides in the bow. This boat has two cushions on the sides and two under the windshield. I can not figure how they de-attach from the fiberglass. Please help.

Greetings, I was taking apart my Merc 1999 Alpha One lower unit to change the water propeller and when I dropped the lower unit, I noticed two extra parts that I can not figure out where they go. I wish I knew how to attach a picture, but they look like stainless shims. They are about two...
I would appreciate some help.
I have a 1999 Alpha One, Merc and my power trim is not working. I removed both trim cylinders from the outdrive and when I activate the trim switch, one cylinder doesn't move at all and the other one barely moves and makes a moaning sound when it does.
The trim...
Greetings, It was easy flushing the Alpha 1 outdrive and Merc 181 ci engine with the muffs when the boat is on the trailer. But, I moved on a canal and the boat is now on a boat lift. The problem is the boat hangs over the canal and I can not reach the outdrive to put the muffs on.

Greetings,<br />I have a Merc I/O 181 ci 4 cylinder. I have a conflict on which type of fluid I should use in the power trim unit. My Seloc manual refers to both 10W40 and transmission fliud. Which is best? If it is AFT do I use Dexton or Type F?<br />Thanks in advance.<br />Marty
Gentlemen,<br />I have a 99 Maxum 181ci, 3.0L Mercury I/O. The timing instructions in my manual says to jump the 2 white leads on my EST distributor before checking the timing. Upon jumping and bypassing the shift interupt switch the timing should be 2 degrees ATDC. Then when the jumper is...
Greetings,<br />I need to know if this is overkill. I have a 1999 merc 3.0 with Alpha 1 I/O.<br />Typically on my car engines about every 5 years I flush the radiator and block with a purchased cleaner and change the antifreeze.<br /><br />So, is it over kill or can I harm any parts if I put...
Hey All,<br />I've been saving my gas receipts this year because I know I can apply for a 17.5 cent rebate per gallon of gas used in my boat. I live in Virginia and can not find the form on the Viginia DOT web site. Can anyone help me find this form so I can get the rebate?<br />Thanks, Marty
Greetings fellow boaters,<br />My temperature gauge seemes to be not responding as in the past. It used to range from 100 to 175 degrees. Now it's barely goes past 100. I have a 3.0 Merc I/O built 1999. I took out the temp sensor in the block just below the t-stat and it looks clean. Water...
I have a 1990 Maxum with a 3.0 merc I/O. The timing specs say 2 degrees ATC. My timing scale is a black metal plate with about 4 teeth on it. I can't tell where TDC is not to mention which way is 2 degrees ATDC. I know how to use a timing light on an old mustang. Is there anything differnet with...

I bought a 1999 Maxum with a 3.0 I/O last summer. Most of the time when I shut off the engine it keeps running. I think they call it dieseling. I then turn the key back on and it runs. So I put it in gear and turn it off. This usually shuts it down. Is this a timing thing, a fuel/air mixture...
New to boating, I brought a 1999 Maxum with a 3.0 I/O. I noticed that the butterfly valve on the top of the carborator never moves. It is alway wide open. I am used to seeing the butterfly closed until the engine warms up - at least that is what the mustang engine does. Is the marine engine...
I am a new boat owner. The stitching on the bottom seats covers are coming apart. I wanted to buy new seats, but now I'm thinking I can have them restitched. The seat top canvas' are good and the bottom is also good, just the stitching is coming apart. Has anyone had any luck with restitching...
