So I have decided to purchase a jack plate for my 25hp Mercury 2 stroke/ Alumacraft NCS 1442. I figure it'll help out with the prop motor for now and I'll need it when I go to a jet pump (15" transom). I thought that I had bought a small jack plate through Bass Pro, but the thing is HUGE. No way...

So I recently replaced my starter solenoid on my motor and it worked great for about 10 starts, now no electric start again. I noticed that there were several old solenoids in the bag-o-parts the PO gave me so there must be an issues. Anyone have any ideas, cause I have none.

I have an Eagle fish finder that I don't need. It came with my boat and I already have the Lowrance Elite 5 from my big boat that I can switch back and forth between the two (can't be on both at the same time LOL). I was going to try to sell on eBay, but I decided that since Tin Boats has...

I finally got my motor wired up correctly, I think, but I am just getting a click when I push the start button. The starter cranks and starts her up when I jump the solenoid so I am figuring that the solenoid is bad. Am I right?

Okay, so my 1995 Mercury 25hp has been rebuilt and it's running great. I clocked 31 with a lightly loaded boat (all three batteries, 2 deep cycle Optimas and one for the starter), two cases of beer (very important), and a heavy bag on board. Since then, I got my Beavertail pods welded on and...

Okay, so after all is said and done, I have decided that a jet is in my future. I have had too many issues, too many bent props, prop shafts and banged up lower units and I want the freedom to run my river wherever I want without worrying about smacking something every 10 feet. So, that being...

So, the good news is the powerhead on my 1995 Mercury 25 hp 2 stroke is back together and running GREAT! Once all the exhaust and cylinder cover gaskets were replaced, along with carb, reed, and base gaskets, as well as new bolts all torqued to specs instead on half finger tight and half...

Long time lurker, but first time poster. I was planning on waiting and having my first post document the restoration I am currently doing on my skinny boat, but today changed that. I was running my Alumacraft 1442 NCS upriver with the family today when a log made it past my prop guard and bent...
