    gale, 1953, impeller placement

    OK, I should have taken a picture before I took the impeller out (I have a picture now). The area where the impeller goes has 3 "chambers" --- the leftmost chamber is obviously the one that allows water into the pump area. There are 2 chambers of almost equal size toward the top center of the...

    Trim Motor, 1984 merc 150 -- getting warm/hot

    Hi,<br /><br />my trim motor housing is getting very warm after raising/lowering the motor a couple of times. In addition the red lead (directly from the battery to the unit) was getting VERY hot (almost enough to cause a burn). I noticed the ternimal area was corroded and cleaned the...

    gas tank, circa 1960 10hp Johnson

    Hello. I just received a 10hp motor and have seen reference to a pressurized gas tank. This is new to me, the tank that came with it was just a "typical" red plastic tank. Could someone tell me a little about a "pressurized" gas tank and if it is something that I need to be able to use this...

    poppet valve

    HI,<br /><br />I have been reading posts about implellers/thermostats and noticed reference to poppet valves. Would someone mind telling me a little bit about this valve -- first I have learned of it. Where is it, what does it do, should it be replaced once in a while, etc. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,<br /><br />I was given a circa 1960 Seahorse 10hp --- I want to see if I can get it going and use it on a 14ish foot john boat.

    old seahorse 10hp

    Hi,<br /><br />I was just given a (very?) old Seahorse 10hp motor. The motor works (based on what I was told), but I would like to check out some basic things (like the impeller) and I would like to get it running myself. I have a couple questions --- 1) where would I find the serial number...
