    1984 sylvan w/ 110 v4 evinrude lost key

    Normally there is a code number on the control, usually hidden on the back or some where not easily seen. A dealer should be able to get a key with that code number. The other option is to replace the ignition switch with a new one as it will come with 2 keys.

    Expected speed from Minn Kota

    While out playing with the 2.2 hp I did lift the main engine up nd out of the water and gained a full 1 mph plus. This might be even better as steering with the bow mounted trolling became more responsive with the main notor out of the way...learning as I go!!!

    94 Gamefisher 3.0, what cable for longer control mounting?

    Not from the mfgr but you may be able to retrofit another cable. Gonna take some engineering to make it work but there are lots of generic cables out there, find a good small engine/ lawn mower repair shop, and see what they have

    Engine will not keep running without enricher being pushed non stop.

    Yep....just cleaning rarely works well, a full rebuild is always better, new gaskets, seat, float adjustment and a good rebuild kit will also give you the proper specs to set the carbs to..

    Engine will not keep running without enricher being pushed non stop.

    If you need to keep pushing the enricher then your engine is not gettin fuel. No matter how many times you rebuild the caebs, they need fuel to work....Whether fuel pump, clogged filter, clogged hose, your not getting fuel to the carbs

    12volt not working

    Use a volt meter and check for power at the back of the socket, if power is there, you have a bad socket, if no power at back of socket, keep going back until you find power....as mentioned, probably an inline fuse

    HarborMasterCover

    Typically you need the original packaging and send it all back. When I buy at discount places like WalleyWorld, I figure the purchase is disposible, no warranty unless it is within 90 days. Once beyond that it is yours!!

    1997 mercury 115hp oil injection

    In all my years of boating, I have used " Pennzoil" 2 cycle oil with great sucess. Never had a engine issue or plug fouling issue. In my younger days I worked part time for a local marine mechanic and he swore by Pennzoil and I guess it just stuck with me. I did see that the TCW3 is for premix...
