    1992 Mercury 175HP -- Started, Now Doesn't

    I bought a 1992 Bayliner Trophy with a 1992 Mercury 175HP. It started up great when I bought it. Turned it on and off with no problems multiple times. Brought it home and tried to start it up in my driveway and it just cranks and cranks, but doesn't even try to fire up. I've replaced the...

    1992 Bayliner Trophy 2002 WAC Opinions?

    Hi, I have read mixed reviews about the Trophy series. Curious to hear what those who've owned them think? I'm looking at one that has a 175HP Mercury on it( not Force). I can live with it not having the nicest finishes, but more concerned with the quality of the hull. Obviously, any individual...

    2000 Johnson 150HP on Stratos 283 FS Intruder -- Started Then Won't

    I'll do my best to explain... I bought it last week and it started up on the first try after sitting all winter from the previous owner I took it out that same day on a nearby lake and it started up on the first or second time the several times I turned the motor on and off. During this past...

    Painting Aluminum Boat With Metal Flake Paint?

    I'm looking and hoping to buy a nice older Crestliner Vanguard this weekend. The interior is in great shape, but there is significant dock rash on the sides. So, I'm pondering a new paint job. I got a ball park quote for $850 plus the cost of paint. I can't seem to find much information on...

    1988 Bass Tracker Mariner 45HP Motor Makes Continous Beeping Sound At Full Throttle

    It doesn't make this sound at idle anything below full thottle. In fact, it doesn't make it as soon as it's in full throttle. It takes 1-2 minutes before the continuous beeping sound comes on. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that means "high temp/overheat alert" right? Water is shooting out...

    Are 1988 Mercury controls interchangeable with1996 Force controls

    I have a 1996 40 HP Force motor right now and am looking for a bigger motor. My motor says "by Mercury Marine" under Force on the motor cover. I found a 1988 Mercury 80HP motor and wondering if I could swap out just the motors or if I'd have to swap out all of the controls and everything...

    1996 Force 40HP Motor Won't Start At All

    So I just bought a boat and it started right up with muffs at the guys house. It also ran fine the first time I took it out on the lake earlier this week. However, I figured I'd put two new spark plugs in it so I did that this morning. I just hooked up the muffs to make sure it was working...

    Minn Kota Deckmate Power Anchor Stopped Working

    I recently bought a boat which had this anchor on it. I had played with it a few times in my garage while I was figuring it out and it worked fine. I only lowered it the five feet or so to my garage floor. Well I went to wind it back up this last time and it started to slow down and then...

    Johnson Seahorse Electric Start Won't Engage

    Hi, I was out on the water today and my electric start for my 1970's Johnson Seahorse stopped working. You could hear it try to work, but nothing would happen. Fortunately, the pull start worked fine. Later on, I pulled the cover off and found that the starter gear wouldn't engage with the...
