I recently locked up the bearings in my Mercury 90/65 pump. I ordered a replacement bearing kit 429 directly from Specialty Manufacturing so I could rebuild the pump. When I got the kit I noticed the inner seal installed in the upper seal ring was installed opposite of the instructions that...

I recently bought a 2003 Mercury 90/65 2 stroke that came with a 4 blade stainless impeller. Can anyone help me identify this impeller? I tried emailing Brian at outboardjets but they are closed until 5/4. I emailed wooldridge and I'm waiting to hear back from them. Based on looking at the...

I grease my jet after every time it has been submerged in water. I use 2-4-C with the little hand luber but I hate those toothpaste type grease tubes. I have to roll up the end and to keep from getting air inside I’ve been clamping the rolled portion. Up until yesterday that has been ok but...

I'd like to talk to someone who has had K5 installed on a jet boat to see if it is worth the money. My opinion, wetlander is not.

I really want a trolling motor with spot lock. I want to be able to hit the anchor button in river current and stop floating off down stream. I've ready a bunch of posts about the Terrova and it seems like the 2nd Gen really has a bad rap regarding the spot lock feature. Is it THAT bad? I...

I have a new-to-me 95 Merc 45 Jet with the stock aluminum impeller. I sharpened up the impeller, which had been severely defiled :). It runs great but I wanted to get a stainless impeller for it. I didn't know the whole 4S cutback to the 2S impeller under the same part number. I ordered a...

I'm currently running a 2 cyl. 50/35 jet and am looking for more power. I feel like my Grizzly is just a little too heavy and I'm looking to get a bit more performance. I've considered getting a new Merc 60/40 but I'm just not convinced it would be much of an upgrade. I'm looking really hard...

I'm retrofitting PTT to my 1996 Evinrude 35 Jet and was wondering why the part numbers changed o ER the years. It looks like the latest model was 0438135. Did they get faster? I've heard there was a fast track and that's what I need. Just wondering if that was the case with the smaller motors...

They seem to have the same specs. What is the best price anyone has seen for one of these? $5,100 is the best new price I've seen.

I'm looking through the Mercury 60/40 jet owner's manual and checkout what it says for sharpening the impeller on pages 76-77. I've attached screen grabs from those pages. They specify to not touch the top of the impeller and to ONLY sharpen the bottom. The manual can be downloaded from...

Can you guys post up pics of how have your spray plates mounted. I used a bend piece of aluminum on my old boats. I'm working on putting one on my Grizzly and just trying to see how others have done it. No tunnel, so I can't bolt it to the top of it. I'm gonna have to bend up something I guess.

I have a 2015 Tracker Grizzly and am considering installing a permanent fuel cell inside the rear bench. I'm currently running a portable 6 gal tank in the very back and would like to put maybe a 10-12 gallon tank under the bench that I can wire up to a fuel gauge. How would you guys suggest...

I'm having some trouble with the idle on my 96 Evinrude 50/35 Outboard Jet. I have the factory service manual and going through the link and sync section it has how to check the maximum spark advance. It clearly states to do this the outboard must be operated with the proper test wheel. Do...

I have an Evinrude 50/35 outboard jet motor and I’m confused by the kill switch. I bought a new factory switch with the lanyard. The lanyard clips on the same place where the key goes and pushes the key in. When the lanyard comes off the button pops out and the engine stops. I can still...

I like this boat but I'm. It exactly sure what it is. The boat I'm talking about is the first one at the top of this article: https://fishandboat.com/anglerboater/1999/sepoct99/jetboard.htm I think it's a 16 Lowe Roughneck. The transom looks lifted which is what I want since I have a short...

Any tips on mounting a transducer on an outboard jet rig? I've read that it can be tough to get it just right due to all of the turbulence. I'm more worried about ripping it off the boat on a rock.

Where do you sit? I've put together a 1648 flat bottom this year and I put two swivel seats side by side where the middle bench would go along with a side console. Im getting a ton of splash over the bow. I know I need to get some more weight to the back. Do any of you sit two people side by...

I bought a 1648 flat bottom and the trailer has four longitudinal bunks under the boat. I thought most jon boat trailers only had two bunks. I ask because the boat doesn't seem to sit properly on the bunks. Should the bunk sit against the floor of the boat or the chines? I've always seen...

I'm looking to get a new hull this fall/winter and was Che king out the Tracker Grizzly's. I just happened to notice that the specs on the new boats have a 21" transom. My jet is a 15" short shaft. My current boat is a 16" transom and I'm almost certain I raised the engine up 4 inches. Does...

I got this cool little electric start 15 HP Johnson and I would like to paint the motor but I don't know what color spray paint to order. I looked at the parts diagram on Crowley marine and it lists the part number for all of the colors #-o Is it charcoal?
