    Live well overflow question

    I would say you’re missing the fact that the over flow, if it ever had one, was replaced with a side mount thru hull.

    Oil change interval, synthetic or no, curious what we all do

    I drive upwards of 30k per year. My daily driver (Civic) has 199k. The F150 (Ecoboost) has 52k and my wife’s Mazda 3 has 60k miles. All changed when the light comes on at roughly 6k miles. The F150 and the Civic get the “house” oil at the local oil change shop. The Mazda 3 requires synthetic...

    Mercury bigfoot 60hp what running battery voltage is normal? 12.6-12.7v currently. Replace stator now?

    Sound like you charging system isn't working. Charge voltage varies between motors but typically 13.5 to 13.9 volts I would not replace the stator w/o doing some troubleshooting as other things can cause problems in the charging system, as you found out by replacing the regulator w/o the...

    97 merc 250efi crank but no start

    Pretty good chance your battery is the culprit. Suggest you have the battery load tested to determine condition.

    25 seapro 2 stroke - Oil/ fuel in water

    Could be.. It’s typically the result of the motor not getting up to temperature. My 200 HP does the same thing after a day of trolling in cold water. Goes way once water temps raise up a bit

    Must have NVRAM like most computerized things. They saved 50 cents going with the power requirement

    Aerator water Pump & drain overflow port.

    Guess I didn’t understand your question. My over flow goes out a thru hull in the wall of the tank. To drain the tank I simply pull the plug. Sounds like you have to unscrew the stand pipe to drain completely

    How do you guys mix Gas

    That was 40 some years ago…. Fuel and oil formulations are very different now. Synthetics, semi-synthetic and heavy solvent loads (ease of mixing and injector use) were not the norm back then. Some oil brands have now gone as far as to advertise their oil’s “self mixing” qualities

    They don’t “require” anything. It’s your choice to power memory or not.

    FELL Marine MOB+ Install

    This will be season 4. Had an auto-tether before this. Worked ok but not ideal. No regrets. Works as advertised. I’m free to roam about the cockpit

    Aerator water Pump & drain overflow port.

    The size of the body of water had nothing to do with pressure. It’s all about the drain relative to the water line. If the drain is below the water line you will have to wait until you trailer the boat. If the drain is above the water line like mine, it drains when you pull the plug

    FELL Marine MOB+ Install

    I have a kill switch built into the ignition switch but it’s useless if I’m up and about. Left the ignition intact and simply wired the MOB to the fuse panel at the helm. Wired in series with the kill switch in the ignition. Unit only draws 2.5W so the current drain is insignificant.

    White smoke?

    Pull a plug. If it’s “clean” you have a water problem. Typically a head gasket

    How do you guys mix Gas

    Unlike the past when high viscosity motor oils where used, todays two stroke oils are designed with a low viscosity to allow the oil to be mixed with gasoline quite easily. One only needs to combine the two products with light agitation to mix the two My boat is injected, but when mixing fuel...
