Yup, sears sold many elgin boats in the early 50s thru mid 70s I have an Elgin boat too :) Here's what it looked like when i got it in 2010 You might be able to find yours in the sears catalog scans on this website: https://www.fiberglassics.com/library/Elgin

Your boat looks very similar to my Elgin boat. I have no idea what year it is, but mine is definitely an Elgin, it had the original stickers on the back before I re-painted it Your's is actually the only other boat I've ever seen that looks like mine. Here's a photo, you will see the side...

I use a MinnKota C Endura 30 in the rivers here, and its powerful enuff to handle the current

I leave them plugged in... No issues

Its the original manual that came with the motor I just mean remove it for a short time to ensure my impeller/ water pump is working, not forever

Would here be any negative effects to removing the thermostat and running the motor in a bucket of water so that i can see the water come out? As i stated earlier, the manual does state "if the engine has the optional thermostat installed" Would runnin without it cause any problems?

Ok, just confirmed it DOES have a thermostat, i took it out and tested it in some boiling water and it DOES work. Also found some water in there behind the thermostat, so that leads meto believe that everything is working fine. The guy i bought it from said that it didn't have many hours on...

My 2005 mercury 15 had a steady stream all the time. This mariner has not had a stream at all that i noticed yet... Maybe at speed it might have opened, but i can't tell with all the water splashing around back there The manual for this motor says IF it has a thermostat the stream will only...

Yeah, that doesn't seem right to me, but i'm no expert... My first motor was an Evinrude 9.5... I clocked it with my GPS at 16MPH, with 242lb me, my two 90 lb kids and all our fishing gear... With my mercury and mariner 15's, i'm getting a HUGE difference in speed (i have not tried checking...

Ok, i found the hole, i dunno howh i missed it before... It was right where the indent was where you pick it up to put it on the boat... Duh! :shock: So, now let me ask this... Should water ALWAYS come out of there when it's running, or only when the thermostat is open?

Thanks johny, anyone else have any input?

You will be pleasantly surprised how much more speed that 5.1 extra horse is going to make... I know i was :D

I just got a 1995 15 horse mariner with tiller shift, it runs good and strong, but i cannot locate it's pee stream for water outlet. I found the exhaust port, and it has another smaller hole next to it, but nothing ever comes out of it (except exhaust) And there a hole on the starboard side...

:? Aww come on! 65 views and nobody else posted a pee jug pic? Thats crappy! I usually just go over the side too, but my jug is handy when some stealth is required

Here's mine, its kind of an antique too! The fella who sold me my boat told me it was the most important part of the whole deal Take a peek at this bad boy!

In a recent thread i was reading, we were asked what we thought was the one thing you would want on your boat besides your motor and fish finder... And several people commented that they would have to say their pee jugs... So it made me want to start this thread, which i thought would be kind of...

I need to sell off 2 Eagle fishfinders to help my mom pay for my step father's funeral. First one is an Eagle Fish Mark 480 in good working order, with transducer and cables... Second is an Eagle Silver Striker 600 plus, with transducer, speed and temp sensors... Both work fine, please let...

Thanks jimmyeking! I did find the knob you speak of, thanks! That would have been my next question... Lol

Thats what i thought, but like i said, don't want to ruin it I even got a new, unused fuel tank so there would be no contamination from my mixed tank Thanks for your help!
