    Merc 15 carb leaking fuel

    2001 merc 15 four stroke. The carb was leaking fuel from the top and would flood the engine. Replaced the carb with a new carb. It ran fine for a day and started leaking fuel from the top again. Any ideas?

    Oil extractor?

    I saw a video of someone sucking the oil out of a small four stroke outboard during an oil change. It allowed them to do it on the water and not have to use the oil drain plug. Does anyone have one of these?

    Stuck float on carb that was recently rebuilt

    05 merc 15 four stroke. The carb was rebuilt last fall, ran fine for a while. It wasn't run for about three months and now it's acting like the float is stuck. There is fuel leaking from the carb and it floods when trying to start. Should I just go ahead and rebuild the carb again?

    Single coat protection for wooden floors?

    I'm going to cut some MDO plywood and some non treated 2x4's for some simple floors on a 1542 jon. I'm wanting to paint them with something that will seal well and last a while. It doesn't have to be pretty, but it can't be white. I'm thinking maybe kilz grey oil base primer? Or is there a...

    Boat body work?

    Has anyone ever had body work done on an aluminum boat? A boat I'm looking at is a deep v with a big dent in the side, all the way to the top rail. I was curious to see if anyone had ever had any big dents straightened out and how much it cost them.

    Does anyone know anything about Lowe Lunker boats? I'm looking at a mid 80's model that I wanted to gut, then turn in to a duck boat/brushpile hauling boat. I've never heard of the boat and wanted to get some opinions on it.

    Aftermarket power trim with manual tilt?

    I thought I read somewhere that a lot of guys take the factory manual tilt off outboards after they add an aftermarket power trim like the cmc unit. Basically letting the motor swing freely, enabling them to pop over logs and the motor will slide over the log but still fall back in to place once...

    Hydrofoil/compression plate/cavitation plate

    Do any of you run one? I have a 15' flat bottom (no tunnel) with float pods/sponsons, 25 hp Yamaha four stroke, and a trim unit that doubles as a jack plate. I'm wanting to get the motor as high as possible and was wondering if a plate would help. Any suggestions?

    Slightly bent prop shaft

    I've got a 25 four stroke with a tiny bend in the prop shaft. It's so small you can barely see it when you look at it from behind and spin the prop. No vibration that I can tell. How much of a bent prop shaft can you get away with? The lower unit oil was a little milky when I changed it.

    Adding a trim button to a tiller handle?

    I just picked up a powrtran tilt unit (kinda like a cmc). It has a giant dual button for the controls. Is there a way I can modify my tiller to change the throttle with one that has the thumb control for the trim? Motor is a 2000 Yamaha 25 four stroke.

    2002 Yamaha 25 four stroke rattle

    This is something that I've been trying to fix for a while. Theres a rattle when in gear and running. Can't figure it out. It sounds like it's coming from the flywheel. But it's new. It's not internal. It's more of an annoyance at this point, but I still want it gone. Any suggestions or...
