    70hp Force 18’ pontoon

    Just a guess, but start with a 10p or 11p, and then check the rpm with the tach you are going to buy, something like a TinyTach, cheap, portable, easy to use.

    Silicone question

    My guess is that a previous owner did this. Doesn't sound like anything a manufacturer would put any effort into.

    4 flat 7 wire trailer connector

    your whites are all ground wires, they can be connected together. There are a few companies that still make the harness with full length ground wires running to all the lights. But everyone I've seen require you to buy the complete harness, not just the connector with pigtail wires.

    1984 35hp mercury steering part

    You might want to disconnect cable from motor and see just how much the motor can turn. Some older motors just don't turn as far as you might expect them to. You could spend time and money fixing this "problem" only to find you end up with the same result.

    E85 in Chrysler outboard?

    At $25 a quart, or between $35 and $90 a gallon depending on vendor, my next outing would cost me a weeks wages.

    2003 Honda 9.9

    Use Krylon Fusion paint, made for plastic. I would test an area on the inside first.

    portable jump starter.

    I wouldn't get one of the older style jump packs. The newer Li-ion packs are worth getting. Keep it plugged in so it is always topped off. I've used mine to jump start v8's in -10*F weather. Mine is a NOCO. There are cheaper ones. 1000Amp, 2000Amp, or 3000 amp

    Starcraft on C-list/ebay!

    An actual MR 180 18'er should work with a 70 and the right prop. My old 18 SS came with a 1973 Merc 65 when new.

    Starcraft on C-list/ebay!

    Starting in '81, it was renamed the MR180, It had a nearly flat splash well that was only 11.5" front to back. This added 23" of usable space over the previous model years that had the big deep long splash well. Also, if you look at the transom and depth of the splash well, the top of that big...

    yamaha motor tilt/trim failure

    You could find the manual release and lift the motor. You could find the two relays and switch their position in the wiring harness. You could apply power directly to the blue wire going into the trim motor. Or you could try loading the boat onto the trailer as is. You don't tell us the size...

    Buying a fishing boat

    Looks like it still has Wisconsin registration on it. Make sure the seller has registration in his name. Also a title in his name. And what about that wonderful Minnesota trailer registration? If the paperwork isn't in his name, he can't legally sell it. And you may have lots of trouble...

    2016 Mercury 9.9 fourstroke issue

    Welcome to iboats. Throwing money at a pile of parts can get real expensive, and not solve the problem. Might as well buy a new motor. What makes you think it is a spark issue? Have you tested spark when it will not start? Have you checked all wiring? Ground wires, ignition components, etc...

    Buying a fishing boat

    Of those 2, go with the Starcraft with the newer Johnson. There is a lot of value in that motor, and it is 30 years newer.

    Mercury 75 HP turns over 3 times then beeps

    Ok. I would start by making sure battery connections are all clean and tight. And make sure the battery is fully charged. Or use another known to be good battery.
