Having trouble finding a service manual for my Mariner 40 hp. The tag says Mariner 40EL 6E9 L 416707. Made in Japan. Any help is greatly appreciated. S/F

Hey ya'll quick question. I have a 1978 MonArk, 16' all riveted. I bought her in Missouri, refitted her in Illinois, and run her on the Potomac River in Virginia. Originally when I repainted the boat I notice a couple of loose or missing rivets. Before painting, I used JB Weld on the spots...

I am working on a bracket under the decking for a bow mounted TM. As I was drafting plans, I remembered reading about a caution to not use a certain type of wood for projects with aluminum boats. Can anyone please clarify? What type of lumber am I safe to use?

Hey fellas quick question == I recently purchased and mounted a new min kota trolling motor on my 16' MonArk. The troll has 55 lbs thrust, and I mounted her to my bow as indicated in the picture. What I did not account for is that when I crank the troll, the deck that I mounted her to would...

Hey fellas - back with another question. The Minn Kota trolling motor that I have has leads coming off of it that are 8 gauge, and the wiring instructions say that to extend the power lead 6 gauge should be used. The issue I am having is that I am running my 6 gauge to the stern which is where...

In the process of re wiring my boat I have a decision point regarding whether to use a waterproof switch panel or to just use toggle switches. As I already have a fuse panel with attached ground bus bar, I am inclined to just use toggles. The most suitable space is right of my steering wheel...

What's up gents... So I have created work for myself (again) in the wiring department of my old trusty War Pig. The wiring has been an ongoing battle since I first tore this old boat down and repainted and re decked it. That part I did very well, but what I did not do and now regret is to...

The live well under my seat does not hold water -- I believe there is an separation or gap in the aluminum somewhere, but not sure where. If it's a rivet, how can I seal it from the topside? Can I caulk it effectively? Is there a better way?

Just bought a new trolling motor and looking for the best way to mount it. I understand from the literature it should be as close to center line as possible, but any pictures, advice, or recommendations would be appreciated.

Any good recommendations for repairing a livewell that leaks? It is under the passenger seat on my MonArk... not exactly something I'm ready to tear out, just need ideas on how to seal it. Thanks for any ideas or suggestions.

OK, here goes: 3 years ago I bought my boat a 1978 MonArk 16 foot with a 1977 Mercury 40 hp. The boat was "rust brown" and the decking was rotted out so I undertook to strip it down and repaint it, as well as replacing the decking. As this is my first boat, I definitely underestimated, and...

Currently have a 40 hp Merc which is a 1980. Wiring is VERY corroded and melted down, as I bought it. Boat mech tells me that when (not if) something fails that the wiring and motor parts in general are not worth replacing due to high parts costs for this old motor. I am on a pretty tight...

Hello, I am new to the forum so I thought I would post of few pics and get started! Bought this 16 foot '78 MonArk a few years ago and slowly began to fix her up. Originally I only planned to replace the decking but my OCD kicked in and I ended up taking the boat down to bare bones, replacing...
