Re: Alocholic Mercury Outboard
My fuel concerns began when my I brought my 1987 Sea Nymph, which I had just purchased a few weeks before, to the local Mercury Marine dealer for a full Spring Tune-up. I had to leave VT and return to AZ. But I stored it in my weather-tight garage and I added a bottle of Stabil as advised. When I br...

Re: Alocholic Mercury Outboard
Again Thanks for the advice. Reminds me of one of my racing experiences when in the pits while I was being towed to the starting line, my gas generator in my pits ran out. A crew member next to us did me a favor and went in my open trailer and filled the generator for me and re-started it. When I go...

Re: Alocholic Mercury Outboard
First…THANK YOU ALL for the many expert opinions and advice! Remember as kids we were told by Dad, ”Don’t do that”. When we asked WHY? The answer was because I said so. Now I know WHY or WHY NOT answers to fuel winter storage with correct intelligent descriptions. What made me think about this subje...

Alocholic Mercury Outboard
Here is an itch I’ve been meaning to scratch… Regarding not using Ethanol gasoline in my Mercury 90 HP outboard, because it has alcohol in it. But rather find a gasoline that is Ethanol/alcohol free. I have been told by previous owner, Mercury owner’s manual and local marina operators…So I only use ...

Correct Angle?
Bought my 16ft. Aluma-Craft used and the last owner up-graded the trailer wheels/tires from 12" to 13" but left two 12" spares on the spare tire mounts. I'm starting to prepare for my 3,000 mile tow to VT, so I replaced the existing 13" wheel/tires with a new set and put old ones...

First I really enjoyed Ron's video of the eagle diving after his salmon. Tuesday I took what might be my last AZ fishing trip with my son to Parker Canyon Lake (high elev. just over a mile high). Perfect day, no wind, air temp 75, sunny, lake looked like glass. Perfect! Only two other boats out and ...

I'm looking for some good advice on how to cover/prepare my 16 ft. Aluma Craft for the long tow from Tucson,Ax to Newport,VT (approx. 3,000 road miles). Planning on installing two new wheel/tires and use the existing good ones as spares. Repacking wheel bearings and giving the trailer lights the onc...
