I have a 2001 115ELPTO and paid $275.00 a complete carb rebuild (all 4) 3 years ago at a dealership in OKC. Sounds high to me. Larry

You can probably get one at a stereo store. A few years back I was having trouble finding a fuse for my trolling motor and someone on this board recommended I try at one. Thye had the fuses and I think they had replacement fuse holders similar to that. It is easier to find a "stereo" store than...

I needed some for my trailer and got tired of driving around trying to find them so I ordered then from Champion Trailer. I ordered an extra set and even with shipping it was cheaper than what I found locally. Below is a link to their website. Larry http://www.championtrailers.com/dust_caps.html

This is a link to step by step instructions for changing the water pump on most Mercury outboards. I found it several years ago when I had a 50hp and it helped me then so I saved the link. I have also referred to it while changing the water pump on my 115hp Mercury and it was pretty much the...

I bought a set of the IMCO buckles last year for my 2001 188 and they went on fine without any additional brackets. Worth the money as they make it easier for me to get the boat on and off the trailer by myself. Larry

The same thing happened on my 2001 188. I had a keel saver installed on my boat 2 years ago at a fiberglass shop and asked them about repairing the snaps in the floor. They said they use either marine tex or JB Weld to fill the hole and then reinsert the screw and let it dry in place. I had JB...

I copied a step by step guide from the grab bag section of this site a few years back. It is not in there any more, but I have it as a word document. It is a pretty good guide and it does have some photos. I put a copy in my library and the link below should take you there. Hope it helps...

Clifton, Here is the thread from last February where they were talking about making the bracket. Hope it helps. Larry

Here is a link to the picture of it. I posted to the original thread so it would come to the top for you. It is titled "fish finder on tracker". Larry http://www.zjstech.net/~library/15480/Mod%20Pics/mcGyver_Bracket.jpg

Yes, take exit 31 off I35 and go east past highway 77 into the old downtown area and it sits on the north side of the road in a row of businesses. Not exactly where you would expect to find a tackle store. I have always had better luck around the dam and the main lake points just north of the...

If you are going to Lake Murray I would stop by the tackle shop in Ardmore and talk to them. When we were there this summer we stopped by and they gave s good advice on where to find them and what to use. My 11 year old son and I where in my boat and we did pretty good. My 9 year old son was...

I have rebuilt the fuel pump on my 2001 Merc 115 and it was pretty straight forward and easy to do. It took just a few minutes to actually replace the parts in the pump. It took more time to take the pump off the motor and get it put back on. The instructions included in the rebuild kit were...

Steve R. posted this a while back and I thought it applied to this post as well. Hope you don't mind me borrowing it Steve. If you are so unhappy rtlofishing quit the complaining, sell the boat and move on to a boat you can enjoy. You are not going to change the minds of the members here about...

I post seldom but read daily and in my opinion Steve R. hit it right on the nose.

I don't have one but I found this on the web. Don't know if it will work for you or not. Larry http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/boa/174639076.html

They are part of Tracker Marine and sell their take offs and discontinued items. I got a brand new in an unopened box Mercury Trophy Plus 21P prop from them last year for $240.00, including shipping. They have gone up on the prop prices since then, but you can still get some good deals. A few...

With the Toro personal pace turning is not a problem. You let up on the pressure and the drive stops while you turn the mower. About 6 years ago I purchased a Toro RWD with a 6.5HP Briggs and the key electric start. This past summer I had to replace the battery for $35.00. The key electric start...

My initial thought looking at the picture was a bullsnake, sometimes called a gopher and/or pine snake by many people. It could also be a variant of the rat snake. Here are a couple of links. One is a TX snake id and the other is the FT Worth zoo. email a picture to the zoo and direct it to the...

I quit about 14 years ago using the patches. They were new at the time, required a prescription and were around $50 for a 2 week supply. At that time they recommended you stay on the 21mg patches for 6 weeks, then 4 weeks on the 14mg patches and finally 2 weeks on the 7mg. I did 2 weeks on each...

I can tell you from experience it would be cheaper to replace the saw. I have been around woodworking all of my life, my dad was a trim carpenter, and have used a table saw more than I care to remember. I don't do carpentry for a living, but still do woodworking around the house. About two years...
