I had this same EXACT thing happen to me beginning of the summer. I looked at a 98 Basscat with 98 200 merc. It was immaculate. I decided to buy it and the day before I picked it up the motor blew...

I have a 98 Basscat with 200 Merc

I have progressive and pay $291/year for

$500K liability w/ fuel spill included
$500K uninsured boaters coverage (VERY important)

yup, there should be a metal latch that when you lift the motor up manually, you can swing down the little metal stand and it will rest on that up in the air. Not sure on your exact motor but there...

Maybe Im missing something, but if your transom plug drain holes are smooth, could you not just leave out the interior plug and stick in a $1 black rubber plug from Walmart or a boat shop from the...

A narrow cut channel would make since. Another thing to think about is with your boat being an 86, is it possible it has been rained in quite a bit and has waterlogged floatation foam adding a bunch...

What is the purpose of the pump out? On the trailer you can just empty the livewell so there would be a need to empty the livewell on the water for it to be usefull. Is it about weight? Or maybe...

Lots of good state benefits out there. Im in Texas.

I just got my free super combo hunting and fishing license for the year. Saves me roughly $65 a year for that.

Finally got the paperwork...

First of all, the rating for your knee and back will almost entirely based off the range of motion they get at your C&P. Also make sure they actual use the goinometer and dont just eyeball it. ...

Got the plate from Steves Custom Props, here on Lake Fork. He's a good guy. He has them for Basscats and Bullets.

Just had this hotfoot mounting plate put in. It turned out very nice. Makes it a lot more ergonomic with the hotfoot inline with your leg instead of over to the left due to the floor design of the...

You say you had to install a new battery. Did the old one have a bad cell? It wouldnt take a charge?

Im not much of a fan of the side imaging. Its looks real neat but as far as finding fish and determining the density of the bottom, humps, etc, I prefer a regular color sonar. If you are buying a...

The rods pull in one at a time on my Johnson outboard as well.

Anyone have any suggestions for a different site where I can try to post my problem for help? Thanks.

If it was any of those three, wouldnt that make it run bad or impossible to start? This thing runs perfect. And, starts every time as long as I hold open the carbs. Seems like those three things...

anyone?

Thanks. If backpressure on the exhaust while in the water makes it hard to start and where I have to open the carb linkage to start it, what is that an indication of? If it starts fine on the hose,...

Ok, I have a new wierd symptom.

When I run it on the hose and muffs, it starts fine. First bump of the key and it starts, I started it 15 times in a row, all perfect. When I put it in the...

Thanks for the idea. I will open up the control box and check it out.

I just double checked the model # on the motor. It is J88MSLEIM

Any help is appreciated. thanks.

I believe the model # is 88 MSLEI. I have that on some paperwork. If that is wrong, Ill go check on the motor.

Would a dirty carb cause it to flood out and act like it is? I took the boat out...

Im hoping I can get some guidance for a starting problem I am having. This motor ran great up until a few weeks ago when I ran out of gas.

Now, the only way I can start it, is the remove the...

I have never been behind my boat on the road so not sure if it bounces or not. I may start lowring the trim rods in and getting it tighter from now on.

Ive also been wondering about another...
