Already on order. I ordered a Bussman 50A surface mount. That's a real CB.

Never mind, never mind....jeesh.

I guess I finally scored for a change. I started messing around with this TM and finally found the problem. The motor was hooked up with an Attwood plug and receptacle. Looks like the cable got stepped on or something and pulled the light blue wire out of the plug butt splice just enough to...

I just picked up a barely used Hook3. I'm definitely new to fishing electronics but I didn't realize just how new. First noob question....how do you get the stupid thing off the mount? The owner's manual is no help. I'm trying, really trying, but I'm scared I'm going to break something. Any...

Many thanks onthewater102 I'll check that out.

I was just given a non-working Minn Kota Edge 45. The guy I got it from is the second or third owner. He says it was working great all day on the lake till..all of a sudden nothing. He noticed the cable coming of the positive terminal was scorched and melting. No CB installed. He's loaded...

Okay, I'll play. Those are some pretty neat designs up above, and when I get around to it I'll probably copy aspects of them all...especially the portability. Since those are the neat ones, now I'll show you the other end of the spectrum. I was anxious to get working on the motor so just...

Well a big thank you to everybody for your help and guidance cause we figured it out. There's a hood (for lack of the proper term) right in front of the carb inlet that kind of directs air. It attaches along with the racket adjustment lever and the primer lever...the enrichment assembly. The...

Thanks folks for the replies. Part of the carb rebuild included replacing everything in the primer enrichment system, so the diaphragm is new and the plunger moves freely. That said, how do I know if it's actually squirting a shot of fuel in the carb? I can't see in the there...I don't really...

I recently picked up a 1988 Merc 20HP. It had been sitting for about 3 years so I went ahead and rebuilt the carb and water pump. Got it running but it's really hard to start cold. It runs like a champ after I give it a big squirt of gas down its throat and baby the throttle for a bit. So I...

Thanks y'all

I recently purchased a 1988 Mercury 20 HP. I ordered a carb rebuild kit, spark plugs and a couple other items. The old plugs that were in it were NGK BUHW which are a surface gap type plug. As per the Mercury Bulletin 91-36 I ordered NGK BP8H-N-10 but these are the conventional spark plug...

Never mind. I bought a Mercury 20HP instead.

Hello folks, I'm thinking about buying a 1973 Mercury 9.8 Model 110. It's about 2.5 hours drive away. I've heard it run via video and it sounds good. Parts seem to be available after you cross reference numbers a couple times. I'm more familiar with Johnsons and Evinrudes, this would...
