I think I understand why you should not rev you engine over 1200 to 1500 when running on muffs. It runs lean and can burn a piston, right? Well I have heard also that you should not rev above these rpm's even in the water and out of gear. Is this correct and if so why? Turbo

Does anyone have some older Mercury tools they want to sell. I am interested in #91-49191A2 Bearing installation tool and a 91-76159A1 Piston Pin tool. If you happen to have some of these or know of anyone who wants to get rid of some please let me know. If you prefer you may email me at...

Offshore Yachts. They built 21' center consoles and I think they were in Palmetto Florida. I am trying to find information on one of there boats. Turbo

Well my old faithful finaly let me down today. The family and I put out of Kiptopeake and started heading for the fouth island to do a little fishing, but just as we got to within about a half mile, it started with a slapping sound. I quickly shut it down and checked under the hood but every...

Well after owning this boat for three years and thinking it was just the nature of the beast how it seemed to be turning over slow, I found that it was the cables from the battery to the engine. More exactly the negative cable. Before trailering down to Wachapreague and putting over,I started...

I am thinking about doing some tuna fishing this year and was looking at putting together a couple of rods. :head: What do you guys think about the choice between Offshore Angler captains choice 6/0, Penn Senator special 114H or the Shimano TLD 25. :fight: I am also thinking about a 30-80...

Hey Air slot, I went by your house today to get a water pump kit and saw a sign in your front yard. Whats up with that bro.

I noticed while checking my motor with it running that when I pull the plug wire from # 3 and # 6 that there is no noticable difference in the running of the motor. All other cyl. make a big difference. I am using the Merc maint manual for trouble shooting and everything seems to check out just...

Here are some photos of our catch. But wait they get bigger. That is my daughters first and second shark and I think she is hooked, I know I am. Did you notice the wearing appearl

We were out last thursday and saw so many skates you could almost walk across the bay on them. My question is, is it likley that there maybe other fish below them such as cobia or some other fish worth catching?

I cant remember who here owns Bone Crusher II but I saw you 3/29/08 going through an under pass to I-75 in Fla, Marion county. It felt kinda good seeing a boat from this board will being so far from home. I was probably in your back yard. So who owns this boat.

What are those little holes in the back of outboards below the power head section in the down shaft section used for. I hope I explained where I am talking about. They seem to let out exhaust, steam and water. Why are they there, what are they called and are they (one or both ) suppose to let...
