The exhaust should go out the bottom of the block. You'd have to pull the power head and there should be a gasket between the head and the exhaust housing. Hopefully it's he gasket and not the...

Make sure the vent which is where the rear hand hold is on the cover is open. That's how air gets to the carb

I use the trip meter on my depth finder. I have a 25hp merc and figured at WOT I get approx 7-8 mph. My tank is 9 gallons. When my trip meter gets to 50 miles I refill. Most of my running is way less...

What size and kind of battery are you using now? Even at 25hp, I don't think you can expect many deep cycle batteries to have the power to start the outboard after even a few hours of use, if using...

That was my first suggestion to him yesterday.....

And for the cost of doing all that a decent solar charger could be purchased.

Edit to add - not to mention the noise from generator and additional cost of fuel to run the generator.

Get 2 50ah Lifepo4 batteries at 11lbs each, would be much easier to carry and last longer.

The pressure is released as you open the cap, no other vent "outgoing". There is an "incoming" vent that is one way.

So what actually happens with the old tank is that as the pressure builds up it is immediately vented......which is bad they say. With the new tanks the pressure continues to build and then you open...

This should be the one. Looks like Ebay is cheapest at $69 shipped

What you are looking at here is the stepped transom. That "curved area" that looks like it should be sitting down on the bunk in reality is likely no more then 6-12" long

Edit to add- it does look...

Pretty much the only way for it to happen to a used battery is to completely drain the voltage and reverse the connection when charged. Really no other way.
Not the safest thing to do, but it is...

OK, you win......go sell some more batteries. I've been running a 10 year old Interstate Group 31 for the past 5 years at 12.5 volts. It powers my electronics (Elite7ti and Garmin 7cv, livewell pump)...

But you see what you are ASSUMING is that the 12.5 is what the battery "is charging to". He did not say that. He said " They are several years old, but the other battery still charges and shows 12.5...

??

Need more information before making that assumption. First off are the batteries flooded? Gel? or AGM? If 12.5 is the voltage immediately after removing the charger (the floating voltage) then...

I picked up a Vivid 7CV on clearance a couple weeks back. IMHO the downscan and traditional sonar is quite a bit better than the Elite 7Ti that was already on the console. The non-touch screen takes...

My newest engine is a 2001 yami 2 stroke 40 so no clue what they have changed. On my 1980's 85hp I removed the nipple from lower cowling, drilled the hole the size of the hose and just pushed the...

Up here in the "brackish" water the best thing to do is remove the clamp, pull the hose off and start the motor. Running ta line thru it will clean just a small hole, which will quickly fill back in...

I could understand a YTuber making an error like that, but this was the guy doing the install. Does he not know what he is installing? If he came to me saying he was going to be installing an...

Stopped watching as soon as the guy said he as using an "inverter" to reduce the trolling motor power bank of 24 volts down to 12 volts for his other electronics. An "inverter" uses D/C input and...

Nice. Is battery secured? I think spray foaming it in center of box would be a good idea for both balance and protecting the battery.

You've been listening to a battery salesman, not a battery professional. You're repeating what you have been told, not what you have learned. That's how discussions turn into arguments. But at least...

Please enlighten us as to HOW the different amounts of current will be "pulled" from each battery. Hint - it doesn't. I mean are you saying that if you put an amp meter in series on the positive lead...

How would different voltages "fry" either if in series? If the guy is using 12 volts batteries it's 99% of the time in series (to get 24 volts or 36 volts)
When batteries are connected in series the...

PFGS-56UL - looks like Ultra Light to me......

Crazy, but I love mine. Only issue I've ever had is when you don't watch where the cord goes when moving it. It can get under the pedal and then won't turn in one of the directions. Easy to remedy....

Guessing you are running a stainless prop? Otherwise not sure how an aluminum survived a 20mph hit with a stump unscathed.

So sounds like it's been leaking a while. Like Bill added, it could also be the hub. If the motor is reving up in RMP's but not moving fast then it's the hub slipping. If the motor is trying to rev,...

SERIOUS doubt's a lower unit impact caused that. Have you repaired and water tested? Something tells me you will still have the problem. I don't see any evidence of fuel running down the bowl.
Look...

In my mine no question Falcon Bucoo BRS-1L-16. I've got 4 of them, 2 of me and 2 my son uses. Best rod I've found for the $$ for casting jigs, roadrunners, beetle spins, dock shooting, etc. Pair it...
