    Hydraulic steering to cable

    First off hello fellow boaters! I am new to the Merc/Mariner world as I bought a Sea Ray motor last night for my Manatee. It is a 100hp I believe an 88. It has hydraulic steering, but my boat already has cable steering installed. Now I am pretty sure the hyraulic lines are too short to run on my...

    Looking at a 1994 140hp Jonson for $200

    Ok, I am going to look at a 94 johnson 140 hp for $200. Yes I said $200, the reason for the low price is that it has 75 psi in one cyl and 125 in the rest. The owner said it was running(didnt over heat) but was idleing like crap. so he did a compression test and found one cyl to be low. He...

    Are these readings too low(compression test)

    I went to go check out an old evinrude 40hp(1962 model 35530) I checked everything on it and all seemed well, even the lower unit was in good shape(I pulled the skeg and the gears looked great) , except that the compression test revealed 80 psi on the top cyl and 90 on the lower. I though this...

    I want to install steering on my 1964 Glasspar

    Ok, this year at the beginning of the crabbing season, I got a heck of a good deal on an old 64 Glasspar that had a rebuilt transom and new interior layout with a new floor, new paint. I literally felt like I was stealing this boat since I only paid $400 for it with title, trailer with title...

I...
