Boat Captain S License Guide How To Get A Captain S License Discussion of boats, general boating questions and anything else directly related to a boat or an engine. A boat full of people ran into idiot rock last night across from echo. anyone have any info on the passengers? @nicpaus are you at your place? i’ve been hoping all night they found everyone, we stayed away from the lights and just kept an eye out down river a bit🫤 i think he mentioned he would be out at echo this weekend.
Boat Captain S License Guide How To Get A Captain S License Re: how to check and test a mercury mariner coil thanks for the info. i'm trying to track down a bogging problem and the coils were something i wanted to look at. the pics are very helpful. Re: tire wear inside badly!!!!! re: tire wear inside badly!!!!! agree with gary. overloading or weak structure will cause the insides to wear out. run a long straight edge across the axle with the boat on it and see if there is a bow. repeat with the boat off the trailer and compare. There is a lot of talk about fuel delivery issues. two areas discussed are checking the fuel tank vent and anti syphon valve. not to sound stupid, but what do these look like and where are they located (besides the obvious answer on the fuel tank). i have a manual that goes into great detail. Currently the boat has 99% of the existing paint on it, a few spots are bare aluminum from scratches and what not. i’ve began feathering out any scratches to make the surface flush and once feathered i have used a vinegar water mix following by some etching primer out of a spray can.

Re: boat taking on water have you ran it and looked at all hoses etc? if it's not bellows, and it takes on water while on muffs, it certainly sounds like an engine cooling system issue. hose, manifold (s), thermostat housing, fuel cooler (not sure on 4.3) etc. i think i'll move this to the merc i o section. not sure how water entering hull on muffs could not be engine drive related. this. Re: do i need 4x4 to lauanch boat? re: do i need 4x4 to lauanch boat? if you get a locking rear end and are careful a 2wd will handle "most" ramp situations. i have seen some 2wd owners carry a set of traction mats just in case. it really depends on the ramp, how deep you need to launch and the surface conditions. i know of some ramps that a 2wd is fine and some where a 4wd is required. i have. My 2016 tracker pro guide sc 16 with a 60hp 4 stroke mercury, the stock prop is a aluminum 3 blade, 10.5" diameter, with a 13" pitch. who ever decided that it is the prop to put on that motor on that boat, should be punched in the face. so i ordered a 13" diameter, 15" pitch, 4 blade. Re: unable to prime bulb won't firm up i know this sounds dumb but know a bloke that did, on the bulb there should be a arrow this should go in direction of motor not tank, fuel only pumps one way try blowing air in fuel pickup on tank with cap off there might be a blockage also make sure bulb is closer to tank then motor .
