    Adding A Second Motor

    I’ve got a 16’ Princecraft with. 25hp tiller motor. I’d like to add a 9.9 hp tiller to access a couple of restricted lakes near me. What’s the best way to do this? The 25hp is bolted on so swapping between motors is not an option. Should I just hang the 9.9 off the transom too when I need to use...

    Mercury 9.8 stalls in reverse

    First post, here goes... This is a new to me boat and outboard, so I'm not sure of the history. It's a 1966 14' Starcraft with a 1975 (I think) Merc 9.8. When in reverse, the engine cuts out as soon as I begin to apply the throttle (no problem in forward). Sometimes I can keep it running by...
