Thanks. email sent to your work.
i sent both serials and a description on what i want to do. hopefully someone can help before he sells the 50hp :)
Hey everyone. I have a 2008 9.9 pro kicker on a lowe stinger bass boat. The boat can handle up to a 50 horse. What year range for a mercury outboard can I purchase that will be a direct plug and play...
Yeah I'm sure the old timer that had the boat just used basic 87 gas from the pump with less than 10% ethanol. That's what I've always used. But it probably sat for 4 years with that gas in the float...
From the picture it looks like it's dented but when I was taking it apart I noticed nothing wrong with it, though I didn't really stare at it
FIXED! After going over the carb- this time without having my toddler to keep an eye on- I went through every passage and took out the emulsion tub / main jet and all is good! she fired up within a...
On a side note, if I were to upgrade this outboard and keep the 2009 controls to make things simple, what year range can I purchase and everything is just plug n play? I'd be looking at a 40 or 50...
European,
I understand, however, everyone knows the ol saying YMMV, And this goes for any/all information on the internet. I think that kind of goes without saying... I didn't see anything terribly...
awesome tips, thanks. ya the emulsion tube that stick into the venturi i believe IS the high speed jet in the video above at the 10:30 mark. it makes sense... as for the tiny passage, ill take a...
thanks for the tip. after watching this video i didnt realize theres a high speed jet underneath the one screw. it must have been stuck or something since it didnt come out. i cleaned the pilot jet...
I think I'm going to take a turkey baster and manually fill the float bowl through the gas hose after the pump, see what happens then. If it doesn't run with a confirmed full bowl then it's...
sorry this is so long.....But if you have any suggestions please let me know.
hey everyone! well i finally picked up my first real fishing boat and shes a beaut! 2009 Lowe Stinger 160 with a 2009...
Ok I'll post there. I figured Mercury motors meant all Mercury motors
Oh it's definitely a four-stroke..
After sleeping on it I'm going to take my turkey baster and squirt some fuel directly into the gas hose that leads to the carb, after the fuel pump. I'll fill the...

I really like this one. A much safer but since it's a welded hull, almost 10yrs newer, and no problem keeping it in the water for convenience reasons until I find a lift. If I can get it for six it...
Yeah it has hull numbers on it. If by that you mean the state registration numbers? For his privacy I just blacked them out. No he's a nice young kid who does the fishing circuits. He just told me...
thanks. ill definitely get a lift down the road, but my gut is telling me to just stick with a Lowe or something similar with a welded hull. safer bet. then it removes the worry. Im glad i posted...
found it. for anyone else here it is

It looks like I might have to keep an eye out for an aluminum boat just to be safe. Maybe one with a welded hull.
Hey everyone I just posted in the general forum and was told to maybe post something here. I'm looking at purchasing a 1995 XL 18.5 ft bass boat. I plan to dock my boat on my private dock for the...
On a side note I do have this ramp that goes up the hill. The previous owner used it for a small jon boat with an outboard. I could get creative with this if I wanted to. Maybe put some rollers on...
What should I expect for compression? Is it typical two-stroke type thing where over 100psi and within 10% of each other is good enough? I definitely would like to see 120 PSI or more each cylinder...
Yeah he told me it'll go 60 mph with two people and gear. Plenty fast to pull tubers or get across my small lake quick. I just asked him about the oil injection and he said he just premixes the gas....
Okay sounds good. I guess I can put another post in the Cajun forum asking if it would be all right. I'll be honest I'll probably invest in a lift for the boat to get it out of the water in a season...
