Windy, I believe that your 125 is a carb'd 4 cylinder, water cooled w/ thermostat and pressure control. You should use a Teleflex 30 lb. water pressure gauge. I hope that this answers your questions....

Rob, do your Bearing Buddy's have a "Blue Grease Indicator Ring" on them? Usually there is a small cover on that blue ring that just pops off using a small flat blade screwdriver. The cover cap is...
Michael, whats the serial number on the motor? The 175 Black Max (guessing it's a 1989, same year as the boat) came with the low pressure/high volume style water pump so a 30 lb. gauge should be...
Windy, a 6" will be the ticket for that boat. Pat prefers a Rapid Jack while I go with the R&R Slidemaster. You can do the install if you have a chain fall hoist, an A-Frame and a Mercury part called...
Pat it's a Mayfair 500GPM and you can get the replacement cartridge at Bass Pro for $20.99. I just replaced mine three days ago so that is how I know the exact price of the replacement cartridge. To...
It sounds like the oval hole was cut too large at the factory for the rubber retainer gasket. If the internal lens retaining ridges of the gasket are allowed to flex, the lens/sealed bulb unit will...
Jack you're right, it was double long because I did a copy/paste of about half of the post, twice! Thanks for catching it! If you will give it another read, I'm sure it will make more sense this time...
That makes it easy and perfectly legal to take an "IDIOT DRIVER'S" boat and boating privileges away when they ignore buoy markers, no wake zones, right of ways, simple boat operation and the...
Butch,,,,Looks Fantastic! The more I look at the 183, the more I like it! Congrats!

Eddie, you will need a piece of 16 gauge wire about 30 ft. long to go back to your motor battery's ground post. I put alligator clips on both ends of mine just to make the connections easier. Using a...
Derek, here are the spec's on the jack.
Lift capacity is 1,600 pounds
Provides 23 1/2" of lift and 10" of travel
Includes hardware for bolting to a 3" x 3" or 3" x 4" tongue
Limited lifetime...
I saw this in the West Marine ad circular and wanted to know if anyone has had any experiance with this new trailer tongue jack? Here is a pic of the jack....
Lea, I hate to tell you this but Bobby is right. Even if you only lightly remove some of the material(2-5%), it could introduce stress cracks to the walls of the hub base, eventually causing failure...
Ben, the BIG MAN upstairs was looking over you for sure last night! Most people fail to consider at those temperatures, hypothermia can kill you just as easily as drowning. I'm glad to hear that you...
The best thing to use on seat posts is Dielectric Silicone Compound. It's made by ANCOR and you can pick up a 1/3 oz. tube at West Marine for about $7. It is impervious to water, will not melt or...

Lately I've received quite a few IM's asking me to,,,, elaborate on my new Avatar. From reading between the lines of the IM's, some of you have expressed a guarded concern for my mental health!...
Bill you just can't beat a 181 in skinny water or tight timber. The 181 does not present it's self to the wind like a longer/wider/taller boat would. It's kind of nice being able to work the boat...
Yep, you are correct! The 2 songs I edited into the video are "Ah Via Musicom/Cliffs of Dover" and "Righteous". The other song that Lone Star 92.5 plays from time to time is called "High Landrons"...
John, my old DriDock trailer does not have the swing away tongue so I have to put it in sideways. It's total length is 23" 1", motor down, 6 inch jackplate. That's why I am really eye-ballin' the...
The one thing I love the most about my "Champion" is being able to maintain an unobstructed forward view when I drop the throttle coming out of the hole. It literally jumps on plane, centers on the...
Andy, that is SO SWEET! So tell us what all you did to it! I just luv 202's, there was something very special about them.

Actually there is a video already out there using Metalica's "Fuel" song showing a Skeeter blast up and down a medium to small size lake. In that video you can see a definite 2 - 3 ft. chop with...
Very nice install Mike! Did you have a chance to study the glass layup while you had the deck open? http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif ...
I just wanted to say, thanks to everyone and to let you know that I managed to finally get a clean upload to Google so the link now points to the good version without any dropped frames or audio...
