Thanks for the thought, Kenneth. I'll check with them and see what they say since I have a jack plate and that might change things a bit.

Appreciate your comments, Tom, and thank you for your service!

Hey Chris - my mechanic told me the same thing. Thanks for the advice on this...and yes, I run the rough water at speed, trying to stay on top of them waves. Every now and then the spacing doesn't...

Thanks for the reply Michael - I talked to the boat mechanic I use and he's putting me in touch with a guy he uses to weld aluminum boats for his clients. He told me not to run it again until I get...

I just noticed this crack over the weekend and wanted to know the best way to fix it. It appears to be the weld that is cracked so maybe just removing it and re-welding will work. Anyone else dealt...

I appreciate your opinion and experience on this, Don...thanks for your help!

Hi Don – here’s where we are now:

Took the power head off, there was a little sand in the adaptor plate but not much. Nothing seems to be clogged up and the water dump thru the plate is clear –...

Thanks for the detailed info, Reggie! I really appreciate it. Good to know the story behind things...

I've had mine for a year or so (love it) and the plastic caps keep falling out - I finally lost one of them. How do I get a new cap?

Thanks, Don - was hoping that wasn't the case! I'll let you know how it goes...

Don - do we need to remove the power head to see the cooling passage or can we see it using a camera probe through the exhaust tube? I'm not getting an alarm but it's not getting up to temp properly....

Curious about your recommendation for Hydro Dynamics? I just looked them up and see they are close to my house (never heard of them) so I'd love to know about your experience and maybe why you like...

Turns out the poppet valve was full of sand/dirt so it's being replaced along with the thermostat while we're at it. Just wanted to let y'all know what the culprit was. Thanks again for the help, Don!

Great thread and exactly what I'm trying to figure out since my motor is in the top hole. I asked my mechanic to raise it to the 3rd hole and he told me there's an edge across the transom (like a...

Thank you, Don! I appreciate you...

I was idling through an area in the middle of the lake (5 mph) when I found myself on a sand bar. I never came to a stop so I kept running the motor and got off it. Motor ran good at low speed as I...

There are so many boat "mechanics" in the N.TX area that it's hard to know who is actually a good, knowledgebale outboard mechanic. I have a 2016 2-stroke mercury that I'd like to take somewhere for...

How are those batteries working out, Rich? Would love an update if you are willing...

Thanks, Ryan! I'll take a look at the pump and see if she's leaking...

Thank you, sir! I will drain some of the oil out and see if that gets it!

I'm trying to figure out why there would be oil seeping out of the trim button/switch on my motor? I took the cover off and cleaned it all up, took it back out on the water and after a few trips, oil...

Hey, Luken - did you ever figure this out? Was it a cap/tank issue?

Has anyone else had trouble keeping their recessed foot pedal bolted down? My bolt at heel of pedal keeps breaking loose and it's wearing me out. Curious if anyone went with a different approach -...

Well, I decided that this week was the week to get that space back! I relocated the charger to above the gas tank. Here's what the trap door looks like and the space underneath it. The black tape was...
