I think the answer is 27- inches but need confirmation. What is the approximate transom height needed to run a long shaft outboard with a jet pump on it. What is it for a short shaft with a jet pump on it? Thanks in advance

A buddy of mine has a mid 90's Mercury 9.9 that was steaming big time with no water from the tell tale on the way in from duck hunting today. He also said he saw it spitting water from the tell tail in pulses prior to the steam pouring out and the pulses of water totally stopping. We killed...

Hoping I'm missing something guys. My '98 evinrude 40/28 went into limp mode last 2x out (took taking it out a 2nd time to even have a clue what it was, plus first time it happened was about 100 yards from the ramp). I took it in & the mechanic pulled weeds from the thermostat n said they...

Hit a snag when trying to replace the water pump on my '85 30hp. I can't get a threaded fitting off the shift rod so I can then get it up thru the water pump housing. Any help is appreciated Sorry the picture rotated but the threaded shift fitting I'm talking about is now on the top.

I'm New to outboard jets and had an issue with the motor revving high tonight but it has no power/I could've swam faster. Sounds and performs like when the grate gets clogged with grass.... But there is no grass. I beached twice and checked and there was nothing each time. What could be the...

Just ordered some hydro turf for the bottom of the tin. I got the hydro turf mat without the adhesive backing. For those of you that have installed this style what adehesive did you use and hows it holding up? My initial thought was contact cement on both the floor and the back of the mat but...

To get the most out of my tunnel hull I want to build up the transom a few inches. I have two 3-inch wide aluminum plates that are 3/8 inch thick. If I bolted one for each clamp of my 30 HP motor do you think that would be strong enough? I'm only looking to raise it 3-4 inches above the...

I got an old polarkraft tunnel hull aluminum john that's bottom is dented and scratched pretty bad from running over the rocks located on the bottom of the local river. I'm repowering with more horsepower and wanted some opinions on reinforcing the bottom rear of the boat. This is what I was...

I'm new to the site. What a great resource. I know its my first post but I need a question answered about a '96 15hp merc that I've had since new. I noticed a small puddle of oil under it the other day and never noticed one there before. Upon inspection I noticed the oil was coming out of a...
