    2007 90 2 stroke

    No worries. So all old fuel was removed from tank completely and 100% fresh fuel ? The alternative is that you have very more serious issues altogether

    Trim/ tilt help

    No doubt you’ll know more than I about it…but just remember as a younger man…when more of these were still common…most or all of them I knew had to be tilted up by hand when going into the shore or beach. By means of what I presumed was called the gas assist system they had. Maybe I have the...

    Correct prop for a Mercruiser 120

    I think there is no doubt that you’d learn lots from trying what you have. I’d start with the 17”…if all is well and healthy otherwise and elsewhere. But I would also suggest that the 17” you have has a huge diameter and would not usually be found on such a set up. A black max 17 these days...

    Trim/ tilt help

    When you say the bleed screw…do you mean the manual release valve on the side ? Make sure that’s screwed in fully and not passing. If it is..the oil just reliefs and won’t give pressure. Have a good look around the whole thing. Could be wrong, but there is a very good chance that this trim tilt...

    Mercury 2.2hp cooling system

    Salt build up and hardened somewhere or the pick up tube is broken perhaps. Did you remember to put the key on the impeller back in so it actually turns ?

    2001 Optimax SmartCraft Wiring / Questions

    Excuse the messy under dash ! Some pics I took just there. You’ll see I have volt gauge, fuel gauge going into the system at the rear of gauges. Then gauges going into junction box. Along with the main cable from the engine. And now also VesselView. Vessel view went into the bottom left port...

    2001 Optimax SmartCraft Wiring / Questions

    No bother. Tell you what. I’ll go look and get pictures of exactly where mine go. Not totally sure I understand how mine is working. Having 4 ports… Because I have two sc1000 gauges, a fuel water sensor that goes somewhere to smart craft, a fuel tank smart craft sensor and a blank one left over...

    96 gtx weird electrical issue

    Must be the rectifier then, you’d think. Or corrosion at terminals…or a weak connection perhaps. Worst case…you are overheating and it’s not good news. Hope you get to the bottom of it.

    What is this? Volvo throttle.

    It’s where the kill switch lanyard goes…when it has it.

    7.4 mph misfire when throttle up

    If you’ve put fresh fuel in on top of bad old fuel…you probably haven’t fixed anything to be honest. Sounds typical of bad fuel to me and running lean.

    2001 Optimax SmartCraft Wiring / Questions

    So had a look in there today and added a VesselView mobile device too. I have a 4 plug junction box under dash. One was blanked off with a plug and yellow terminator resistor. I put the VesselView in there and put the purple weather cap on that. All is well. If you only have one gauge or maybe...

    96 gtx weird electrical issue

    Sure it’s not the battery ? Had similar issues with rectifier and battery on my old gtx. Was caused originally by jump starting the thing from a car. Lesson learned. But these wee batteries only last a year if they aren’t kept good. Very easy for them to fail partially, despite starting ok. They...

    Mercury Spitfire X7 vs Solas Titan HR 4

    No worries. Mine is a little different then. I’ve the newer model. Having to go down to such a low pitch on a 17ft boat is a little strange. Is the engine healthy ?

    Mercury Spitfire X7 vs Solas Titan HR 4

    Hi. What 115 engine is it you have ? I’d also suggest that although solas are the go to props for a ski…they are (in my opinion) terribly cheap and nasty props, for a boat. Strange but true. Just asking about the engine…in case it’s the same as my 115. I’ve tried a few props and might be able...

    Can anyone help me identify this boat model

    If you are on Facebook. Go to the campion owners page. Lots of info and owners on there. Few campion employees too.

    Need help IDing my first boat

    Can’t see a boat there. Just a picture of a house and a garage door. Any pics of the boat ?

    Taking boat into salt / brackish water

    Take a spare fuel filter with you and if that 5.0 is an mpi…take a spare diz cap too.

    1993? Mercury 20hp craigslist score diagnosis

    Got to suspect the gauge. Just with it reading so low and also exactly the same ? You’ll want to be seeing about 100+ to be healthy
