    Fishing from Boat Loading Unloading Dock

    the lake i go to the most its against the rules to fish from the bank at all, unless your on your property. you have to be in a boat to fish. but theres always a group of people who will hide under the bridge and fish and when you go under the bridge to leave the launch area you have to tell...

    Don't laugh.....everyone started somewhere

    disconnect the shifter linkage (on my mercury 25 you get to it from under the hood) then take the lower unit off, you cant miss the impeller housing

    How much water should come out the pisser?

    im not a motor expert but with my mercury, water will start flowing just seconds after the motor is started. and its a steady stream. when i first got my motor it would have a weak stream of water like you were talking about so i took the impeller out and noticed one of the blades was missing. i...

    Runs fine for ten seconds then dies

    this might be very obvious but make sure the vent is open on the tank. i had mine shut on accident and it would run for a bit then shut off completely, i didnt realize it till i got back to the ramps

    Boat pulls to the right. Prop the issue?

    I don't think the prop would cause the motor to pull right, but I would replace that prop pretty quick, I still think the trim tab needs to be adjusted some more

    motor dies when going from forward gear to neutral

    just thought id let y'all know what i found out, the float in the carb was trashed and filling up with gas. turns out it wasn't stalling when going from gear to neutral but it was flooding out every time i slowed down. mechanic replaced the float and no more stalling and flooding.

    When covering a gas tank, you might need a fire extingusher.

    i learned the hard way that a fire extinguisher is a necessity if you have a motor. some how some fuel or vapors ignited inside the cover of the outboard. i was in shock for a couple seconds and i quickly ripped the fire extinguisher out of the boat and prayed like hell that it would work (came...
