My favorite of all 25HP motors. The shifter and start/stop button all on the tiller within easy reach is the only way to go. Power to weight is excellent and the '00 through '05 25 two stroke Mercs run forever with basic maintenance. They do have a thermostat and all of mine have operated...

Thanks RBO.

Gitzet, Sorry for the delay. Been a busy week! Yes the motor has a shallow water operation position. You must first twist the tiller handle to engage forward gear. There is a black lever on the back of the motor just below the power head. With motor in forward gear push down on the black...

Thanks for the info guys. It appears a Jet may work for me. Few places would ever be less than 8 inches even in low water periods. No way would I get rid of my prop since it works excellent for the majority of my fishing. But, I'd like to add a jet just for a couple local flows. I'll keep...

Yep, you are correct on the start and stop buttons. You have a tiller steer with electric start and pull rope start if needed. (Dead Battery). There are a few other controls you need to be aware of: The handle twists to engage forward and reverse gears as well as apply throttle. The farther...

Hey Gitzet, I have the same motor and can help you get familiarized with yours. First we need a little more info. Is your motor tiller steer (handle attached to motor with twist throttle and gear shift) or remote steer? (boat has steering wheel) If you don't get the answers you need tonight...

I'm looking for info/experience with Jet outboards used on shallow sandy/silty rivers and creeks. I'm very aware of how well they perform on shallow boulder and rock based streams. I have a few good fishing flows near me with predominately sand bottoms. Instead of trying to miss boulders and...

I don't or never have owned one but a good friend of mine has one. I believe his is a 2010 model. He is retired and uses his boat 4 or 5 days a week on average. Many of these days he is trolling all day. I was just talking with him about his Etech last night. He said he had one small warranty...

Jim, I did not contact them. Since the first pair was a gift I didn't even have a receipt or date of purchase. The second pair I had every intention to contact them but kept putting it off. One of those outta sight outta mind kind of things. Interestingly both pairs failed in the same way...

I've had two pairs of them. The first pair was a Christmas gift. They lasted the remainder of that first winter and most of the next. The second pair didn't even last a full winter. There will not be a third pair. I went back to the toasti toes chemical footwarmers.

I had a 1436 Fisher (rivited hull) with a 2002 9.9 mercury 2 stroke. It would easily plane the boat with two men and gear. I eventually change the carb to a 15hp and it really came alive. But bone stock, those late 90's thru the 2000's 9.9 Merc 2 strokes were excellent motors. At about 75 lbs...

I've had two 9.9 Mercs ('02 and '04). Complete carb replacement to the 15hp carb made them both really come alive. I'm not familiar with nissan but I would think carbs would be different as well. (maybe not)? One absolute sure way to make that little motor faster is to put it on a lighter boat...

What is your intended use? Rocky, shallow rivers? Lakes, deeper rivers? Both are good boats.

Yea. I would pay 3400 for a new 25hp 2 stroke. But it would be new as in 2013. Your getting close to the price range of a brand new 2013 E-tec at that price. I'm a 2 stroke guy though. Dirt bikes, outboards, mowers, chainsaws, weedeaters... I prefer the simplicity, power and light weight of the...

Everyones needs are different and there is a boat for everyone but... I don't know of a single guy who purchased and uses a 14' boat who wishes they had bought a 12'. Get the 14'. You'll be glad you did after a few times on the water.

Anyone else have one? I recently purchased one and have found little info on them. I've found very little on MV1544 size boats of any brand. Mine is all-welded and has factory aluminum floor, decks and storage compartments. (It is much heavier than my previous riveted 1436.) Its paired with a...
