I would like to go with a bigger boat or a small pontoon, so I'm thinking about selling my 05 Triton and was looking for ideas on pricing it. It is in excellent condition and has been well cared for as you can see from the pic. The motor is a 15 hp 4-Stroke Merc; manual start. It has new...

I was thinking the baseball bat wrapping also. What about the stuff like you put over water pipes to keep them from freezing. Slide it up over the place where the grip was and duct tape it.

I made a post in another thread about using non-ethanol gas and I guess the guy thought I was joking. Contrary to what "the powers that be" want you to believe, ethanol gas is not "the answer". It cost more, your mpg's drop, and it is playing havoc on the rubber seals and hoses on your...

It's not a joke............ Here, do your homework.... https://pure-gas.org/

Yep, Seafoam in the boat, car and truck. I've also started using my left over boat gas in my lawn mowers. So, on the way to the lake, I put gas in the truck and fresh gas in the boat tank. I've decided that I'd rather the lawn mower cut off on me in the middle of the yard, rather that the...

Rob, welcome to the forum. First off let me say that I'm by no means a boat engine mechanic, but your story sounds just like me last summer. I have a 2005 Merc 15 hp 4-stroke on my boat. The summer before last, it never saw the water. So, the motor sat for almost a full year without any...

Thanks, that was my thoughts, but wanted to make sure I was on the right track.

My wife and I took out jon out fishing for the first time this year yesterday. It started and ran great. Howerver, later in the day, I noticed a slight smell of gasoline every once in a while . Upon inspection, I found that the prime bulb (which is less than 1 yr. old) has started to badly...

Due to various reasons, I didn't get to use my boat at all last season. So, the motor has sat for a year without being started. Last weekend, I poured out the old gas that was in the gas tank and put some fresh gas into the tank. I hooked the gas line to the motor, primed it, and tried to...

That is going to be a nice rig once you're finished with it. I admire you guys that can take a POS boat that has long been given up for dead and rework them into nice rigs like that. =D>

Here is mine; 2005 Triton 1546 Crappie w/15hp Merc 4-stroke

Well, here is a couple of pics for you.

Once you decide on the size of the boat you want, I highly recommend checking www.craigslist.com for boats for sale in your area. Be patient, and check it often; 2 or 3 times a day. You will eventually ran across the boat that you are looking for, usually at a good to great price. A great...

I did a test quote with Progressive and was very satisfied and suprised with the price quoted. I was wondering if anyone here had any dealings with Progressive. Glad to hear you are satisfied with them.
