I hear ya CTT, - if were a story about fish I caught - never believe without pics - I won't make stuff up about my kids catches ;).   And if it were a fish tale - it would have been a 10# fluke and a shark as big as my V20.   ;D ;) ::) :D I bring the camera next time though. Carl

I took my girls out fishing yesterday for some flukin'. It was a beautiful calm day. We fished for about an hour before they wanted to go to the beach, but my youngest (5) got her personal best of a 22" fluke. My other daughter (7) caught a sand shark about 2-1/2' long. I thought she had the...

I thought it looked familiar. The red hull and squishy soft deck

I have a 2006 Silverado 1500 with the 5.3L V8 Carl

Nice fish Kevin. Keep it up. You've been putting in the time. Carl

Alright, Some news to report. I have replaced the pump and motor assembly. It wasn't too bad, with only a few glitches along the way. Mostly just moving up the learning curve for this being my first time for this job. I also found out that the down solenoid is acting up. So tomorrow, I will pick...

Hey, I'm still here and the boat hasn' fallen on me yet. I got the old motor off after removing the bracket. I took off the right one hopefully it won't be too bad to get back on. I found oil between the motor and pump and the motor had a nice burnt smell to it. Two of the four brushes in the...

Alright, I brought her home tonight and started to take apart the T/T motor. I got three long screws out of the top, but cannot even get a screwdriver on the last one. The one that is still in is the aft most starboard screw. You can see it in the 2nd pic. I'm sure there is a trick to this. So...

I plan on pulling the boat tomorrow after work.  I'll get her home and take apart the T/T motor and see what it looks like and go from there.  My fish finder depth sounder was acting up as well as the brand new  digital fuel meter  >:(.  I'll take a look at them too and see what gives.   Carl

Thanks turbinedoctor - I appreciate that. It is a 1988 Merc Mariner 150 HP Serial # 0A906046 Model 7150726. It currently has the rectangular Eaton T/T motor. Thanks again Carl

I only use gamy hooks. even down to the 1/0 for porgys with the kids up to circle hooks when chasing Striped bass. Carl

Yeah sfprovyn, that what I am trying to do. Unfortunately everything I have found on my particualr Merc - 1988 Mariner 150 hp - shows that the parts are NLA no longer available and don't give a direct replacement part. I definately don't want to order from ebay unless I am 100% sure it is the...

Update: I went back to the boat last Monday after work and the engine went right up.  Everything seemed to work fine.  I inspected as much as I could with the boat in the water and I saw the T/T motor cable was wrapped heavily in electrical tape. It has been like that for the two years I've had...

It didn't sound like the motor was running. All I heard was the clicking of solenoids. I'll find out more today, but I have to be here at work for the next 8 hours. Carl

After I was done with the boat today, I am back in the slip and I go to tilt the motor up and nothing. The solenoids are clicking (up and down) but the motor is not moving - at all. The fluid was topped off less than a month ago the day I launched the boat. It has been slow in the past, but now...

I took the family out today for some fluking. We picked up a few shorts and a few porgies. My wife caught her first fluke in over 15 years. Here are some pictures. I was a great trip all around until we were back in the slip and I couldn't tilt the motor back up, but that is in another post in...

Nice Fish Kevin. We are heading out in a few hours. We have to better coordinate our efforts. Carl

This is the one I put in my '78V last year. http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?r=view&i=30458 I agree with Reelapeelin - You only want to do that job once! Carl

I noticed that the hole in the lower unit that is used for the connection for the speed indicator tubing (fitting) does not have a fitting in it. I do not have a speed indicator and I do not intend to run new tubing to the dash. My question is: do I need to put a plug in this hole, or can I just...
