Hey guys, I removed my old rope pulley steering and installed a Teleflex. I am giving the old steering to someone that will use it. All I ask is that you really use it, not sell it or leave it lying around "hoping" to install. I would prefer an established member and it be for your boat. It is...

The plate states 35 Max HP. I do know that in 1983 the motor was badged as a 40, but in 1984 they badged it to a 35. That leads me to believe that the HP rating was changed. I do think that you guys are right about the transom and steering, and will just leave it alone. I love the boat, but hate...

Well I thought I had a motor located and the deal fell through. I now have to opportunity to purchase another and want to run this past you guys. My boat is a 1984 Tracker Guide V-16 with the following wood transom specs, 1 and7/8" thick, 20" deep and 72" wide. The boat is 15'8" long. The boat...

The boat is rated for 1000 lbs, motor, gear, people. The boat itself probably weighs 500-600 lbs and...

Outstanding!

Jim, Sent you a pm, sure would like to have the Mercury manual

what he said!

Might have to make a trip to the repair shop for that problem. I have a 40 amp fuse between the motor and battery, you may want to go that route in the future.

I always use a transom saver with the motor strapped to the trailer.

Did you pull the T/M prop and look to see if there was debris wrapped around the shaft causing it to bind? How old is the unit?

50:1 for all Evinrude and Johnson's since 1964

Marine oil is formulated for cooler running outboard motors. Non marine two cycle oils are formulated for hot running handheld equipment Mixing ratio is 50:1. I would also use a product called Sta Bil, as most gasoline these days have ethanol which will eat up rubber hoses. There are two kinds...
