    motor value

    JBooth, thank you for the pictures. Mine does look just like the 97 and not like the 93, but my title says 93? I need to do some research and see if it was possibly titled wrong.

    motor value

    I sure wish it was a 98 +, that would increase my value. I just looked at my title and it says 1993 Mercury. I tried searching by the ID number listed on the title and did not find anything online. When I get home I will look at the ID plate on the motor and make sure there are no...

    motor value

    Fair enough. I'm located in McKinney, TX, which is about 30 miles North of Dallas. The decals are a bit faded and scratched, but nothing major. The motor runs excellent.

    motor value

    I have a 1993 model 15 hp Mercury 2 stroke electric and pull start tiller handle motor I am thinking of selling. I've searched NADA, craigslist and ebay and have not had much luck. NADA has general prices, but I found nothing on craigslist and nothing comparible on ebay. I take this as a good...

    Good deal on Curados

    I ordered an E7 from them. It arrived in just a few days and cost me $122 including shipping after I applied the discount code.

    Good reel that won't break the bank.

    I am a big fan of the Academy H2O Mettles and if you wait and catch them on sale you can get them for $25. With that being said there are a lot of really experienced reel mechanics in TX that could get your Curado's up and running, probably much cheaper than replacing them.

    New ZEBCO 33 AUTHENTIC REEL 33J New In Box 53% off.

    I have to agree with Fender66 on this one. I grew up using zebco's and thought for the longest time that they were the greatest, but after stripping the gears out of 4 of them in as many months I wont buy another one. They unfortunately do not make them like they used to.

    My 1985 PolarKraft project (HELP, I BROKE my boat! page 13)

    Where did you mount your transducer for the garmin? I have the same unit I'm wanting to install up front,but am not crazy about the idea of mounting it to the TM, since I wouldnt get readings when it's not in the water. My previous unit was mounted at the back, with the transducer mounted on...

    Cheap(er) Oakleys for Military, Gov't, and Law Enforcement

    I've been using them for years. Everything is pretty much 50% off. But, being standard issue, they only carry black on black. It's great if that's what your looking for, but if your wanting some crazy colors or designs you wont find them at standard issue.

    Connecting battery charger

    Thanks for the advice. Luckly I had the battery sitting on the concrete garage floor with nothing around, so the only thing affected is the concrete floor. I used some shop towels to mop up as much as possible and put down some kitty litter to soak up what was left. tomorrow after it's had a...

    Connecting battery charger

    Well, now I have to get a new battery. After being on the charger for about 24 hours I went out in the garage and found a puddle all around the battery, so obviously it's bad and leaking. It was a free battery that came with the boat, so it's no loss. I just means I have to go shopping for...

    Coyote Hunting Rifle?

    +1. I have killed many a coyote with an electronic call or even a hand call if you dont have an electronic available. I used a 30-06 for years before I got my 22-250. Be very mindful of wind direction. They will spook easily at the first scent they dont recognize or think belongs.

    anyone using an iPhone to mark way points? if so how?

    I have been contemplating downloading the navionics app. For the time being I have been opening my maps app, then pressing the arrow at the bottom left corner to show my exact location. From that point if you press the circle (home) and top (power) at the same time and it will take a snapshot...

    Connecting battery charger

    well I found this on the Schumacher website What is the purpose of the 24” cable and where do I purchase one? The 24 inch (61 cm) long 6 gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable referred to in the owner’s manual is for safety purposes. Since the last connection you make to the battery is at the...

    polarized sunglasses

    I hear nothing but positive reviews on the Costa's. I've worn Oakleys since I was 14, so I stick with what I know. It doesnt hurt that I get a 50% discount on them through work either.
