    Fuel In Bilge

    I have a 1803 Bayliner Trophy, 1994. It has been sitting for awhile, 2 years. I worked on it last weekend hooking up a remote gas tank to run the engine. It ran fine, I put the "extra" fuel form the portable tank in the main gas tank and all seemed okay. When leaving I realized I forgot to lock...

    Alarm Problem

    1994 - 115 HP Mercury <br />Recently had an oil alarm malfunction. So I checked the sensor, it was fine. Concluded it was the float in the tank.

    Lower Unit Removal Question

    I'm trying to remove the lower unit of my 1994 115 HP Mercury. I read the manual and have been careful not to miss any bolts. I loosened (5) nuts. (4) on the side and one in front of the trim tab. There's no nut under the trim tab. <br />The unit won't budge. I have it in forward and think that...
