Considering installing a Trolomatic on my outdrive so I can troll for fish. I contacted the maker of the product and he wasn't sure if it would work on a 25ft boat with a 454. Has anyone tried it???

Looking for advice and suggestions for putting on all the accessories to my engine. First challenge: Manifold and risers installation. How do I know which side of the engine the manifold and risers are installed. thank you, Sea lah

Thanks Bob!!!!!

Had my lower unit replaced on my outdrive. Installing SS prop, but not sure how much torque to use for the large nut. thank you, Sea~lah:huh:

When I connect to dock water supply my tank overfills and I only have a small amount of water coming out of my overflow valve at the side of the hull. My water tank became bulbous with the water pressure on it. When I took the water inlet cap off the side of the boat, I had an explosion of water...

When it backfires it seems to be coming from the engine compartment.

Boat is new to me. Still working out bugs since I put it in the water a few weeks ago. I drained the gas tank before launching, added fresh high test fuel. New plugs, new raw water pump impeller, new water separator, new elbow risers, removed approx one quart of engine oil (it was...

I'm going to the boat today, so I'll check out those screws. thank you

I have a loose or bad connection behind switch panel. Can't seem to find where the problem is. I have no cockpit lights, cabin lights, water system etc... When I put my hand under the panel with all the wiring hanging there my stereo goes on and off. I need to remove the switch panel to get...

I had a few problems with my water pump (brass bushing would pop out-but it's fixed). Just took my first shower on board this morning, I have some water in the cabin right where the first step is to go on deck. Not sure where it came from? However, my real question is how hot does the water-pump...

Update on Risers: Well I installed the risers this past weekend. It was very easy to complete. I would suggest it to anyone that is mechanically incline. It took about an hour for each side. The risers were purchased on line and cost $117 each including shipping. I purchased Merc. gaskets as...

My dip stick shows that I have way too much oil in my engine. However, I noticed that the dip stick is extremely hard to push in, when there's about 4inches left to push in. It feels like I'm bending it in the bottom of the crank-case. I think I have the wrong size dip-stick. Could someone with...

Flappers have just recently been replaced. Thank you for your suggestion.

So I can replace the risers while the boat is in the water? right? I was quoted $650 for the job. The boat is in Canada, so I'd have to add 15% tax to the bill. I'm looking forward to doing the job myself. Thank you all for your suggestions.

Where would I get Merc. gaskets from? Can I purchased them through West Marine?

I've been informed that my risers are rotted (bought boat in October) Just purchased new risers from ******* .com (117.00 each). They'll be delivered in a few days. Plan on installing them later this week. Wondering if someone can walk me through removal of the old and installation of the new...

Thanks for all the guidance. Plan on proper connection of hoses tomorrow. But will flush lines and tank first, as suggested

Can't seem to find the hose that belongs to the upper section of the hot water tank. :huh: Please see pic. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!!

Happy to hear that your up and running smoothly. If you still need a survey, I know of a local one that can help.
