Given all the problems with E-10 fuel and the difficulty in finding non-ethanol fuel these days, I am thinking about installing a replaceable filter-fuel-water seperator on my boat. Does the fuel pump in this 25 HP 2 stroke engine have the strength to pump the fuel through the filter-seperator...
Hi Folks,
My fuel line connector, on my 6 gallon Quicksilver plastic tank, is leaking where it screws into the tank. Should I use teflon tape (white or yellow) on this NPT fitting? Is there a better product to use? Thanks for all help.

Hi Folks,
I have an Alumacraft 1542 Jon boat with a 25 HP 2 stroke Merc. Max RPM's 5000-6000. With a 15" pitch SS prop, I turn 5570 RPM's and run 29.2 mph solo with light gear. I had my 13" pitch SS prop rehubed and tried it today. I ran 6140 RPM's and 25.6 mph solo. With the decrease in pitch...
I need to remove the bottom cowl on the port side. Can someone tell me how to do this-where the screws/bolts are located? My Seloc manual is very unclear on this. Thanks for any and all help!

My Service Manual says to crank and warm engine. With Timing Light attached to the #1 spark plug wire, advance the throttle to the wide open position. As I don't have a dyno to attach to the prop, how do you best run the engine at full throttle and check with a timing light? Leave boat strapped...

Gentlemen,
My engine is not firing on the bottom cylinder. I replaced the plugs and the wires. I switched the coils and the bottom cylinder still not firing. Both coils ohmed within specs. Both the stator and the trigger ohmed within specs. My manual does not...
I'm a little confused as to the best application of 5200 verses 4200 sealant. Which is best for sealing engine mounting bolts? Is one better than the other when used below water line? Which is stronger if you are attaching an object to aluminum or fiberglass and using as a glue and no fasteners...
I recently read where someone was suggesting that the battery should be directly connected (grounded) to an aluminum boat at the negative terminal. This is susposed to reduce the chances of electrolisis particularly in salt water. My understanding was that this was for the cranking and trolling...
I have a 15' Alumacraft Jon Boat with a 25HP Mercury. I read recently where someone was reccomending grounding the negative terminal of the battery to the boat. He said this was especially important when used in salt water. Is this correct? Any opinions on this? Supposedly, this would reduce...
