Mercury OB NEVER goes up to 15V as long the regulator is ok. We are in 100% agreement. It's not supposed to go above above 14.5V. I will test to confirm but this is what my gut was telling me, I have battery voltage on my vesselview page and it never gets the system above 15V so I feel better now e...

Hi Macowneril2015! I’m sorta more cautious than others…. If you have blisters like you describe they may ver well be actually into the fiberglass which can be a problem. Covering them over may not be the best idea. They may be draining “fast” because someone (or circumstance’s) have “popped” them a...

Hi Macowneril2015! I'm dealing with the same problem right now. There were lot of blisters on some parts of the boat (I have 26S from 1992). I decided to send the boat and I just finished sending today. All of the blisters were caused by water entering between the gelcoat and the fiberglass (I use ...

So I recently had some starting issues with my 2023 60 hp mercury outboard and was considering the batteries may be bad as they are older. I have 2 size 27 AGM dual purpose batteries. Upon researching I saw that Agm batteries were dangerous for this engine due to a stator vs alternator and can lead ...

So I have dug through here and noted others have had a bunch of small blisters all over the hull of my :macx: when I pull out at the end of the season. I have noted they do not get worse and go away within a couple hours of being out of the water. I need to reapply bottom paint and was considering g...

I received a new trailer from super sport marine and when I pulled the boat out the front bunk is not supporting the boat, I have the winch released but it still is several inches too low.
I know I don’t want to leave it like this but any suggestions would be appreciated.

In what ways is the system "loose"? How can the wheel have a "lateral movement? Look at the steering cable which comes from the column/below deck/ into the cockpit. Turn the wheel. Does the cable respond? You should see where it is attached to the steering system in front of your eng...

Here are a couple more pictures of how I did mine. I used butyl to seal everything back up. I found that putting a little ball in my socket was a good way to hold the nut in place while I wedged my socket into some spots. https://i.postimg.cc/1nbgV92h/IMG-20210425-192103.jpg After removing the top ...

I wish I had posted and seen this before I drilled an access hole for the metal screw but this was very helpful I appreciate the detail of this video.

Please see the attached images the first one is of the inside of the bathroom where the liner is blocking access to the nuts for the bolts. I tried to drill one out but the other is not as useful (red mark shows approximate location of inaccessible nut access point). I bought replacement rails from ...

I have purchased the super sail trailer for my Macx single axel and have not had any regrets. No more Mac bumb for me . I absolutely love it. Yes it still comes up short when I pull it out of the ramp but the winch will pull the boat up close to the v bumber every time . The back bunks are opposite...

I recently began attempting to replace my slides/ rails on the sliding hatch and companionway. I have ran into an issue primarily on the starboard slide on my 2000 :macx: . The issue is the bathroom bulkhead insert blocks access to to the plugs and bolts to remove them, I tried drilling a hole to ge...

I found out my bottom paint chipped due to "boat pox"/ hundreds of tiny blisters around the water line. Other posts here note that issue but mine have never gotten worse. I was planning on having the boat stripped down and a barrier coat applied that should hopefully resolve this blistering.

I believe the steering system on my :macx: is stock and had some play so I attempted to tighten it. Now after the first sail of the year the wheel seems to be very loose and has substantial lateral movement. Is this something where I should attempt to just tighten it or do I need to replace the syst...

Interested in that too. Got pics or link to tiles?

Did you finish this project? I need to retile due to the tiles delaminating and was wondering how difficult it was.
