Well i know a trick that works really good. But it may not be what you want to do. A propane torch works well, but there are side effects like: smoke, toxic fumes, very hot dripping goo,( if working overhead). You dont have to use much heat, just a quick blast. The silicon then comes off easy...

I guess color will depend a lot on how hot it will become.

Red, those are some very good links. Thanks

Thanks Red. That was very helpfull and informing. So how would be the best way to raise the transom and keep strength and integrity, without over building it? I am a carpenter by trade, so I am thinking 2x8 and some "L" StrongTies, 1/2" galv. carridge bolts? And should I also raise, and/or...

lol i like your thinking, but i have to put it back on the trailer sooner or later, and they'll be waiting.

Heres a thought... I lived in IL when i bought the motor, so it is jetted for low altitude 650ft... I am now at 4900ft. The motor does still start instantly and runs good and strong, but it seems like not at as high of RPM. My prop is not in pristine condition. It has some knicks and burs. Do...

Where at in Central IL are you. I was born in decatur. But i lived in Danville area for a long time.

Yup 140# is what i read somewheres on the net when researching the Merc. You have a link to view your rig?

My first car was a Chevelle. Now my daughters name is Chevelle.

I need more speed!! lol. 25mph not fast enough. Okay so here it is.... My boat is a Fisher Marine. Measure 15' x 60" X 48" floor. Transom height is 17". Placard says max 25hp, 800lb people, gear, motor. Now i know it can handle more motor. I had the same 25hp on my 1436 Ouachita, and had the...

I used to have a 1973 14' Ouachita decent little boats. mine was the same size and construction like your, except 2ft longer. i had a 25 hp merc on that thing, decked out, 46# MG foot control. I have some older pics of it without the newer engines.
