I have done a lot with plasti dip on cars and other stuff. It does not fill gaps but goes on in many light layers similar to paint. I don't think it would be a good option here Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had it posted on Craigslist for about a week, sold it for 1k$ today. I'm sure I could have got the 1200, prob even from this guy but after some negotiations I settled. Happy to have the cash and not deal with it anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The heavy weight is why I had no problem with my recent upgrade to a new 20hp-short shaft. Only about ten pounds more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the advise, I think I'll clean it up and start at $1200. Definitely some bigger boats around here that would like a long shaft to use as a kicker. Sail boats as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am going to sell my 2004Mercury 9.9 hp Long shaft 4 stroke Manual start Motors runs great, no issues. Just not sure what I should reasonably expect to get for it. Any idea on value please let me know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any suggestions for a low-cost way to raise the motor. I'm hesitant to spend a few hundred dollars on a jack plate versus just getting the correct size motor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

. Thanks for the advice, older two strokes are not an option for me as some of the lakes nearby don't allow them. Mercury 20 horse weighs the same as their 15 horse. 121 lbs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Storage box was under $10.00, I took that to batteries plus and an employee looked up the info on my fish finder and picked out a battery that would fit in the box and give me ample runtime. I got the 12 V plug and in-line fuse from AutoZone. The other connection on the inside of the case hooks...

Thought I would share my simple setup that runs my fish finder, charges my phone, and other accessories for days! Can't take any credit, stole the idea from others here and a kayak fishing board. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also looking at getting a new mercury 20 hp, how slow can you troll with your motor?

I am getting ready for my second season with my new tin. The motor that came with the boat is a 2004 mercury 4-stroke 9.9 long shaft and will not get me up on plane. Part of the issue is that the motor sits too far down into the water. I am planning to buy a new 4-stroke and although I am not...

I wish I had a dealer close by with the parts, but seems that because Lake Tahoe does not allow two-strokes no one has anything. One shop 45 minutes away had one coil :(. Just ordered what I needed from marine engine.com. May be a stupid question but does it make a difference with the wiring...

Thanks for the tips, I will pull the coils out this weekend, no burn spots on the visible sides but could be on the back out of sight. Guessing I wont find any replacements local and will have to order online.
