    Mercury outboard discontinued spark plugs

    Just order the "Quicksilver" brand replacement plug, they are what the mfgr recomends !! Don't be surprised if you find the BUHW-2 plugs inside though....

    Marine Oil?

    Quacker was the one with issues, in my area, Valvoline makes the Walmart oil products. Walmart uses major mfgrs across the country depending on where they are. From all my research, the Super Tech products have always tested very well and I use it in my vehicles. Only stuck with Pennzoil in...

    Securing the Bimini ideas

    They make a plastic clip to hold loose support bars on bimini tops, got mine off Amazon, only a couple bucks each. The clip clips two poles together to keep them parallel when stored.

    Marine Oil?

    There is a difference between the two types of oil. Doesn't mean the chainsaw oil is bad for your OB motor, just that TCW3 is better !! Just the opposite is the TCW3 marine oil can be used in any two stroke. Many years back I questioned the same thing so I wrote to Pennzoil for an explanation...

    Securing the Bimini ideas

    On my boat, I have a 4" x6" block of wood used as a spacer for a rod holder base. That corner radius on the top hardware touches the corners of each block of wood. I added a price of rubber to protect the bimini cover where it rests on the wood block. I then added a bungee strap on each side...

    Boat ramp traffic way down and fewer boats on the water?

    In our area rain then more rain and high winds have been the issue. High muddy water and rough chop has limited boating. This who have ventured out earlier in the season didn't do well. However in recent days things have really picked up. Fishing reports have been good if your not stuck...

    Boat ramp traffic way down and fewer boats on the water?

    I can say that in the past 4-6 weeks, I haven't had my boat out because I have been mowing grass from all the darn rain we have been getting !! Mowing at last two times a week and other yard work from everything growing keeps me busy....to busy !

    Is this normal amount of water from these ports?

    Water pump impeller is doing its job and not fighting hose pressure. There are bypasses built in to control water flow and where it is directed inside these engines.

    Is this normal amount of water from these ports?

    When you run on muffs, it will always show better water flow from the pressure in the hose feeding the muffs !! Muffs should never be used to determine water flow, only a dunk in the lake or a large barrel.
