Thanks Striper57, I was wondering if any good quality marine oil would work. I agree that the Johnson stuff is disappearing. So I will use the Merc oil for crankcase. On the gear lube, I have been using Quicksilver 80/90 high performance lube for years. Have some left from my 2 stroke Merc. It's...

Thanks all for the help on gear lube. Now question is crankcase oil. Again it's a 2005 Johnson 115 hp 4 stroke. Manual recommends 10w/30. What would be your recommendations on oil brands? I had a merc 50hp 2 stroke oil injected and used Merc oil exclusively would it matter if I used a Merc 4...

Guys/gals, have a new to me 2005 Johnson 115hp 4 stroke and am trying to find out what kind of lower unit oil I should use. (manual doesn't say) In my 2004 Merc 50hp 2 stroke I used 80/90 Quicksilver synthetic oil. Would any of you know? Thanks

Thanks all for your help. I will leave it as pictured. Have one question though should the boat just roll off? I had a hard time getting it to roll off easy at the dock.

Guys, just purchased a 2005 Lund 17 Explorer SS with a 115 hp Johnson 4 stroke. This has a Shorelandr roller trailer which I am not accustomed to as I had bunk trailers before. Does anyone know, should the back rollers be right at the transom? Having a little issue getting the boat off and all...

Folks, I have removed a couple of deckhands that were on my Tracker PT175. I am looking for a way to "plug the holes" from the bolts in the aluminum. Don't have access to any welding type tools. Any ideas would be a great help. Tight lines...

Thanks LDUBS, It's a 2004 model. I looked a the screen on the top of the fill cap and all looks fine.

You all have been really great helping out so here is another question. Have been having issues filling my boat gas tank at the pump. Have to pump the gas in really slow to avoid getting a bath and spilling the "liquid gold" all over. Friend of mine suggested that I might have a plugged gas...

Appreciate all your help folks

I have gotten my boat out of storage and for the first time in a while I had mice in it. I think I have gotten them all out however when I went to reinstall my batteries I could smell mouse. I had pulled off the front casting deck to inspect and all was well. I am thinking of using a hose...

Thanks for all the help. I am going to discuss these options with the folks that service my boat too. Will let you know what they tell me as well.

Thanks, looks like it would do the trick yet you're right. A bit pricey.

Hey folks, am curious. Have a 2004 Tracker PT175. 50hp Merc. Am wondering if there is a way that my deep cycle battery could be hooked up to my motor to charge it like my starting battery? Could this be done? If it can would do any damage to the battery? I have an on board charger just looking...

Morning all, I know I've asked this before yet now I have pics. Have a 2004 Tracker PT175. Have been trying to keep the bare aluminum hull clean and polished with no avail. I use aluminum polish and get it all pretty just to have it stain and get hazy at the waterline when I put it back in the...

Am in the same situation and any help would be appreciated. I have a 2004 Tracker PT175. The gentleman I got the boat from had used Starbrite hull cleaner on it and I am thinking he didn't clean it correctly. I fish on a flowage and the water is tanic colored. Every time I get back I...

Folks need help. I have a 2004 Tracker PT175 and prior to getting it the previous owner tried to clean the scum line with an acid based cleaner. So I am trying to get it back to its original look...shiny. How can I get it back. Have tried cleaning and using an aluminum polish but the places...
