    kicker prop

    I have a 25' cruisers that I have a 15 hp Johnson 2 stroke kicker on. To get to 2.5 mph I am at 3/4 throttle, this seems too high to me. It has the stock prop on it still, I am thinking of buying a high thrust prop for it. Are they worth it for my application or not? Thanks Pete

    kicker woes

    I purchased a 1976 cruisers with an OMC 235, this year and am going through all the add ons and "fixes" by the previous owners. When I bought it the kicker was mounted to the outdrive, this was the first thing to come off when I got it home. I bought a bracket for the kicker and mounted it...

    alcohol stove????!!!!!

    I went to try out the alcohol stove on my newly purchased boat. After filling it and pressurizing it I turned on the burners and raw fuel comes out and puddles in the burners. I have looked on the net for kits but have not had any luck. Does anyone here have any ideas for me? Thanks Pete

    omc select trim

    I recently purchased a 76 cruisers bar harbor with an OMC 235. I am in the process of undoing 20 years of neglect and quick fixes. For what ever reason someone completely removed the select trim system from it, aside from the switch in the dash and the trim gage. I purchased an entire...

    kicker mount

    I recently purchased a 76 cruisers Bar Harbor and am mounting a kicker with a folding bracket. My issue is the stepped transom, what would be a suitable material to use for a spacer to mount in between the bracket and the transom? Thanks Pete

    OMC for free

    I have recently got into boating and love it. I currently have an 85 Starcraft open bow with a Mercruiser 120. I spend most of my time on lake Michigan and have found the open bow not to be the best in larger seas and am looking to go larger/closed bow. Here is my question I can get a very...
