Anyway, the XR6 that I bought has been in solid, good service with the prior owner for 13 years. And still many more years before that from the owner he got it from, so, I'm happy with it.
I made a 700 mile round trip and bought the XR6 boat. Seller let me start it and it runs great! The seller said the engine exhaust had been "drilled" and the carbs have larger jets. 🤷♂️

The trip home...

The Merc will get mounted on a 1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski, which is...

Took me over a decade to finally convince my wife to stop messing around catching bluegill and to start using them for bait. When I caught my PB bass last year (on an artificial), she finally started using the bluegill for bait.
After she caught her first 5 pound bass, she finally...
Fixed! :D
My neighbor buddy came over and manhandled that thing with channel locks and brute strength and got the LU installed! :LOL: Everything is installed to correct torque and no parts left over. :ROFLMAO:
All I had to do was provide torque specs and entertain his 6 y.o. son. 🤪
Hey guys, I'm having the same problem getting my LU back into place on my 1983 70HP Merc 3 cylinder. (BTW - I have physical limitations and can't do this job by myself.)
There was no remote control connected to the engine when the LU was removed. The indicator on the engine shows that it is...
Wellsir, my point was that the thread had gotten way off topic, which was a lawnmower. No offense intended.
This thread has been moderated a couple of times already, I'd hate to see it closed because of off topic stuff.
