I looked on the Mercury website and the 90/65 and the 115/80 both weigh 378 pounds. Both have 20" shafts. Are those too long for my 20" transom?

You think the transom on the G3 1756 can handle the weight? I'm just curious as I have noticed some of the weights being close to the same. Guys here in my area say a 4stroke 90/65 is too heavy? I am asking the pros on here. Thanks for your input. I'll keep my eyes open for a 90/65 first then if...

I have a 1756 dlx G3 center console, I am wanting to upgrade from my Mercury 45 jet and all I can seem to find a 4 strokes. Would a 90/65 Yamaha or Mercury be too heavy? I have also considered going to a 2 stroke 115/80 as I have found a few of those in 2 stroke. I want to plane out with a load...

I pump mine until hard, but while operating I have tried pumping and it doesn't change. It only does it once in a while and after the carbs are clean it won't do it for a while

Ill look at the plugs but i believe they were brown

I did buy it used. It just doesn't seem to have enough compared to some other guys 2 strokes on the river

I plan on hopefully changing all my lines as this is twice now in just a few months that I have had to clean the carbs. I just wonder why at wot the motor seems to have a stutter? Also is there a way to adjust RPMs? I think it needs more RPMs. It starts perfect and life's fine. I can pull back...

I pulled the carbs off today and they were full of small black crud. I did notice the other day in the gas tank the same foreign material so I dumped it all out best I could. I plan on taking the boat out soon so hopefully it helped! Although last time I cleaned then it helped but it still...

no i just cleaned them and didnt see anything out of the ordinary. But i am not really a marine mechanic. I hate to take it and pay all that money but i am running out of options. It had a rubber needle under the float it looked good.

I have a 2000 Mercury 45 jet, it is leaking gas out the carbs when running. I have took the carbs apart and cleaned didn't notice any issues. Also on the top end running wide open it has a small stutter. I believe it's a fuel issue but not sure where to start? The marina wants 95 dollars to...

I ran a bottle of seafoam through the tank and went fishing last night, my buddy 285 me 260, 2 18 pound anchors, live well full of bait and cooler full. Along with all our gear and we ran 25 down river. The motor seems to be running a lot better where it's at!! It feels fast at night on the...

I'll have to slot motor bracket or drill new holes in transom to go up any higher. I thought about moving console to the front so I could see better at night running the river. I think i'll just leave it alone though.. I hope to paint the boat soon and but some type of roll on rubber for the...

Do you think moving my side console to the front and putting it in the middle will help me at all?

I also have a trolling motor and 2 batteries, I have thought about taking it off and taking one battery out as i primarily catfish and with it being a 40 lb thrust its more or less useless on the river. I have the trim set to where my hole shot is a little slower but my top end is better. I had...

I took boat out today and I did gain some after I trimmed motor up a bit (manual trim). Also I tightened my breather up a bit in my tank and it seemed to help. Im hoping to figure out rpm issue, I'm thinking it's an air leak somewhere? I do now have more spray than before. Mabye in a year or so...

I noticed today while operating the boat, my fuel ball wouldn't stay hard. What should I do about that? Having the motor up a hole didn't seem to gain anything by doing it but didn't loose either.

I was able to add the pictures to the original post. I also moved the motor up a hole and now its slightly above the bottom of the boat maybe 1/8" to 1/4". I'll try and post a pic of it later. I'm going to try it later today. I have changed fuel filter and fuel line. The tank is a plastic tank i...

I am having trouble with my photobucket app, but you can check out the pics by clicking on the link in the original post. I put on a new fuel line, new plugs, cleaned carbs... I started with motor even lower and had a lot of spray. I raised it to where it's at now and gained some speed and lost...

I am running this motor on third hole down trimmed all the way down. I too out with 2 guys and fishing gear at 22-23 mph down river. My intake is right at the bottom of my boat. Where should it actually be set at? I have read flush with the bottom and bottom of boat with intake fin pins. I was...
