    Need trailer roller arm mount thing

    I need a trailer roller arm mount thing, i clearly have no idea what this part is called and thus I'm having no luck finding one. Maybe the picture helps someone point me in the right direction! If it matters, this is the trailer. I paid $600 for it, so I'm ok with replacing bearings...

    How long is the skeg on a mariner 30/40

    Johnson 35 with intermittent stream before thermostat opens

Here is some history: The thermostat broke in half causing the engine to overheat a bit (i heard it pinging and shut it down before it seized or anything bad). I changed the thermostat, cleaned the bore so it can spring open and bypass at high RPM...

    At my wits' end with a 30hp mariner

    I bought a 14ft lund with a 1996 30hp mariner 30 that has oil injection and I cannot get it to run well. It was accelerating very slowly. It would eventually reach a plane, but it took a long time to get there, this engine should have snappy throttle response, but when I put the throttle down it...
