    Help Reading Miles on 92 Seaswirl Engine Tachometer

    Welcome. That's an hour meter. If someone left the key on the hours would accumulate even without the motor running.

    How can I remove the three cables on the top when I try to remove engine from boat?

    I think it's approximately 580 lbs with manifolds attached etc. You've disconnected the drive already?

    Hearing Aids anyone ?

    The issue with masks and the Behind The Ear types takes some getting used to. My tech showed me how to grab the top strap and pull it back a bit and over the ear. That stops them from getting tangled. I still get them tangled on occasion. My phone app can locate with gps a lost aid if I ever...

    Hearing Aids anyone ?

    Hearing Aids anyone ?

    Costco might be the best value. The only problem with Costco is you might not get quick service if you have trouble. And, as a rule only Costco can service/program them. That may or may not be an issue. I just got a high end pair mostly for tinnitus. Mine are behind the ear, rechargeable and...

    What tools needed to check over an old project bass boat before buying?

    Have you looked to see if you can get the carbon contact separately? The cap itself is around $170-$200 never mind the rotor if needed.

    What tools needed to check over an old project bass boat before buying?

    You should find out what the "small cheap part on the distributor" is and how much it costs. Some of the distributor parts certainly aren't cheap. If the motor is cheap and easy to fix why hasn't it been fixed?

    Welcome, if you go to the Mercury EzPartsWeb (sysonline.com) and put in your serial number you can find the part number for the filter. For some reason it's listed under the Starter Motor category. It's probably a 35-877761K01

    1979 Mercury 80 worth it?

    I don't think that's a 1997. I'd guess late 70's to mid 80's? It does have power trim/tilt. It's the type with the pump mounted externally. Can't say if it's worth it or not. Power tilt might be worth the 300 depending on your market.
