    Water Fuel Seperator

    I bought a new to me boat last month and I want to install water fuel seperator. Are these kits universal or specific to your outboard motor? The reason I ask is because I checked on Iboats.com and some kits would say something like "OEM replacement for Mercury, or Yamaha..etc etc". Also, is...

    Nissan prop with A17 stamped

    I just bought a 1989 Ebbtide Dynatrak with 1989 90HP (NS90A) motor. I am not able to find the prop size but there is "A17" stamped on the propeller blade. Does anybody know the diameter/pitch for A17 or is it a generic ID? According to the owner, this is the original prop that came with the...

    will this prop work?

    I have a 1978 Evinrude 85HP and in need of a new prop. I researched and for the motor the prop specs are 13.25x15, 13.25x17 or 13x19. I have 13x19. I can get a 14x19 prop for $50.00. Can I use this prop size, any negative impact?

    Hello, I have a Mercury 800 Thunderbolt ignition and I believe the engine is 1970's era. The control box has 2 levers. I think the small lever is to control the throttle..correct? Well, I took it out yesterday to test the boat and it will not go into reverse. I do not feel the reverse gear...

    livewell plumbing

    Hello all, I bought a 1983 Procraft fish/ski boat a few weeks ago. The front and rear livewells are non-functional at the moment. I'm not too concern with the front, as I probably use it as a cooler. I have inspected the rear livewell and have some questions, that I hope someone can help...
