It came with a 25hp and the max is 75hp. My 60hp still has 4 years of warranty, so I'm not giving it up quite yet

Hey all,

I just picked up a Polar Kraft TX175. Im going to be putting a 60hp Evinrude on it. I mostly fish shallow rivers, so I'm looking to add a hydraulic jack plate to be able to run as...

Hey all, I recently upgraded to a 1999 200hp mercury EFI. I use to have a 1986 175 merc that worked with my tach. Since I upgraded to the '99 my tach hasn't worked. I had charging issues with the 99...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Where is a reputable place to buy a manual? Most websites I find look to be bootleggers

The needle and seats were replaced. I have no idea about the level. I just cranked em into place and they looked different than what I replaced. Is there a guide for checking the height?

Thanks for the reply. They weren't Mercury branded rebuild kits. I actually didn't replace the floats themselves since they seemed to be okay (I sunk them in water and non of them leaked air...

Hello everyone. Last fall I developed an issue where one of my carbs would have a float stuck and it'd stream gas out of the jet. I rebuilt the carbs over the winter with all new parts and put a new...

A huge thank you to JOE54! The bowl and floats he sent were in pristine condition. So thankful for his help on this!

Joe54 that is an awesome offer. I'll gladly take you up on it

thats the one!

I believe so. It is in the bowl. I really wish the photo uploader was working for me.

Thank you for the advice all. I went ahead and started doing the clean, rebuild, reinstall. I'll worry about the lync and sync later on(potentially unadvisable I know). The first carb I took my time...

Hello,

I plan on rebuilding the carburetors in my 1986 175hp Mercury outboard. I have the rebuild kits already and fairly confident I know what I am doing, however I was wondering if anyone had a...

Thank you kindly for the information! I'll give it a look

Here is my 1986 1950V. It has been a bit of headache as the 200hp motor blew up on the 3rd trip and I had to swap in a 175hp, but it is very nice upgrade from my previous 15ft bass boat with a 70hp

Hello all,

I have a new to me 1986 Procraft 1950v. I can get the livewell to fill, however I cannot get it to drain. From what I gathered looking around online the pull knob on the passenger...

Hello,

I have a Minn Kota Maxxum trolling motor (65lb thrust, 42" shaft, foot control, SN MKAC226510) that the lower bearing has disintegrated. I removed the lower retaining holder and a few ball...

This was a huge help. Thanks!

Ok thanks. Remembering back, I had to rewire the battery connectors about 5-6 weeks back. I suspect the battery connections might have gotten loose or my solder jobs weren't as good as I thought...

Hello everyone,

So I replaced the rectifier last week and it seems to have helped but the issue is still there to a degree. So before I replaced it, I was getting 16.5V after running full...

Thanks, I saw that diagram while searching around for a voltage regulator. So 16V is definitely not good and I should replace the rectifier?

Hello everyone,

I have a 1979 70HP Johnson on my Spitfire V15. On my last two outings my console depth finder showed 16V while I was going full throttle. When the engine is off the voltage drops...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I understand pulling the top cap would be the best way to approach this, but I don't really have the time to go that in depth with it. If I pull out the foam what...

Hello everyone. I've lurked on here a while from the advice of a few buddies. I've finally dived into restoring my Tidecraft Spitfire V15. The floor was complete mush when I bought it last year, I...
