So I decided to do everything myself. Seemed to workout OK. Motor runs pretty well. Has good water pressure. Now I seem to have screwed my reverse gear somehow. It goes into forward and neutral fine. It will pick up reverse, but it pops alot and it just doesn't feel right on the throttle like...

Right now when running the bottom carb looks like a faucet lol. Don't know about the throttle shaft Sent from my HTC6535LVW using Tapatalk

All true, I'm pretty confident in his abilities, before he fell on hard times he used to build strip boats and motors to race Sent from my HTC6535LVW using Tapatalk

Little more work done, any suggestions? Sent from my HTC6535LVW using Tapatalk

He said he would do that as well, guys kinda hard up right now, lost his job and is doing mostly side work, I don't mind helping him out, I just want to make sure I'm not getting raped either. Sent from my HTC6535LVW using Tapatalk

Well the motor runs, needs a water pump, I'm going to do that myself. Carbs need to be rebuilt as well, my buddy said he would do it for 350. That includes parts. I wish I knew what I was doing and could do it myself. Does that price sound reasonable? Sent from my HTC6535LVW using Tapatalk

Did a little decking yesterday, still a bit to go. Sent from my HTC6535LVW using Tapatalk

I was at sports academy the other day. They seem to have a better quality seat for about the same price as the Walmart ones. I've had one of the Walmart deals on my 8' bass hound, it's nothing special, but it gets the job done, I float around 210 or so and it hasn't broken yet. Sent from my...

I plan to build a new side console, the one in there is actually a very large side console, takes up over half of the width of the boat. I was thinking of running my rod storage down the left side, and building a livewell I front of the console. Sent from my HTC6535LVW using Tapatalk

Worked a little today, just made a mess it seems. Sent from my HTC6535LVW using Tapatalk

Yea, I picked up an impeller and some spark plugs the other day. The guy at the store said is should change the oil in the foot too. Sent from my HTC6535LVW using Tapatalk

New to the forums and boat motors. I have what I believe to be a 1995 mercury 40 classic, oil injection. Serial #0g238710. The guy I got it from removed the oil injection. He said just to mix it 50:1 and it will be fine. I guess that's right?? As I was looking at the motor I also noticed that...

I've been looking for awhile and finally pulled the trigger on a boat. It's not in bad shape and I'm hoping to lean a little in the process. The decking and aluminum shouldn't be a problem, but I know about as much about fixing the old ladies hair as I do boat motors.
