  1. the plug should be a 5/8 or a 13/16 but you could see what size the other plugs are. once you know the correct size go on eBay and search for an EL ratchet wrench of the size you need. but you may end up needing to buy a full set that has the size you need. but you need to know the length of the wrench to know if it's long enough to reach the plug. if the end sticks up close to the top of the cowling you can always use a short piece of pipe over the wrench. i did find a few sets with the 5/8 and 13/16 in the set search for 115590764339 or 146164212490 or do a search for sae flex head long ratchet wrench set. i didn't see the length but they are longer than the standard length wrenches.,
  2. I want lot 10 and need it shipped to Muncie In. 47302. do you do PayPal or can I mail you a check? you can message me with the total with shipping. and your PP info or your address. then I can give you my address and pay you.
  3. I have 5 sheer pins and 1 keeper pin for a Cabela's trolling plate for free plus shipping. I have a very nice looking and running 02 9.9 Merc 4 stroke, electric start, 20" shaft, tiller, with very limited use. the man I bought it from had bought it for him and his dad to use. but shortly after he bought it his dad passed away and he sold the boat but kept the motor stored in his garage thinking he might buy another boat later but after a few more years he hadn't had any interest in boating without his dad. I will let this motor go for 1100.00 plus shipping or pickup in Muncie IN. 4 Penn 330 GTI non-lc reels that will hold 360 yards of 30 mono and would work great for lead core. 110.00 each shipped! these are in like new condition and used very little. 4 brand new Zebco 33 classic reels for 45.00 shipped. 19p high 5 prop 215.00 shipped. this is a wonderful prop for running in rough water or playing in the water but has many positive features. it will improve your hole shot immensely plus better handling in rough water. A Panther electric tilt for your kicker 400.00 shipped. I use one myself and it is great. I bought the other one for a spare but at 73 I may not ever need it. inline 6 mercury motors 90 HP TO 150 HP lower unit with new water pump installed only 300.00 plus shipping. power tilt unit for any of the inline 6 mercury motors 90 HP to 150 HP 250.00 with a mounting bracket or 200.00 without a bracket which you can usually get one off eBay. shipped. an older 74 Merc 150 HP with everything to make it run. was running great when pulled and stored. 250.00 plus shipping. comes with controls. you can sell the lower unit for 300.00+ and the controls run about 250.00 on eBay. comes with either a 125 HP or 135 HP motor for parts except the lower unit and distributor which is on the 150 HP motor. will add 3 rotary steering cables later after I measure them. PICK UP IN MUNCIE INDIANA OR PAY FOR SHIPPING UNLESS ITS INCLUDED IN MY PRICE.
  4. I always open those petcocks on my exhaust manifolds. never had to replace the manifolds myself. Have a great winter so you can go get them come spring.
  5. if I ever decided to use the kit I would go to the trouble to drain the block and the exhaust manifolds first then add the antifreeze. most of the comments say they drain the block but no one mentioned draining the exhaust manifolds. or maybe the newer boats doesn't have the petcocks at the rear of the exhaust manifolds.
  6. I do have a question. why would the cold antifreeze close the thermostat and not the cold water from a hose to your muffs? I have never done anything other than open the petcocks on each side of the block and manifolds. I did it this way for 25+ years when I owned a Mercruiser. I did remove the water hoses that runs down each side under the motor and the hoses going to my thermostat housing. and not once did I worry about it freezing and it worked every year but 1. ugs saved my motor. and that was the year my freeze plugs saved my motor. sand had settled in the pipe and stopped it up and all the water didn't drain out of that side. LESSON LEARNED, I removed the pipe and started using a petcock only even though it was a bi*** to get to and open.
  7. you don't have any prices. will you ship at the buyer's expense? are you selling these in lots or are you willing to break them up? if you have a couple of 6.0' to 7.0' in light action I think I would be interested if the price and shipping cost isn't too much.
  8. I have bought a couple of car motors with no complaints from eBay. eBay offers your money back if anything is not as described. but you want to be ready to install the motor and water test it when you buy. plus if you use PayPal you can file a dispute with them if the seller is doing a scam i have been buying motors and parts for my boats for the last 20+ years off eBay, and only had to send a couple of things back for a full refund with no problems. I have been buying used props in like new condition for half price or less and have been very satisfied with ever one I've bought. you might find what you need at a good price.
  9. they switched the flywheel in 86 I believe. I had a new silver package 350 Vortec from Michiganmotorz.com installed in my 86 Cobia in 2010 and didn't have to change the flywheel. you can get anything from a rebuilt short block to a complete setup. just make sure to buy an OMC motor and not a Mercruiser.
  10. just my 2 cents is to not fish so deep. most fish are suspended above the bottom. do you have any way to determine how deep you're going? one thing you can do is let out an unbaited rig until it's just bumping bottom, then start letting out baited rigs 10' above the bottom and keep bringing them up 10' at a time until you start catching fish. gobies are on the bottom and if you are letting your bottom bouncers down until they hit bottom you're asking for trouble. are you marking fish on your graph? this should tell you what depth the fish are suspended
  11. these reels would be great for running lead core, price drop on the 19p high five to 235 shipped. 9.9 4 stroke Merc price drop 1050.00 plus shipping or pick up in Muncie IN. shipping shouldn't be that much. total would still be a fantastic price for this motor.
  12. I would say the fuel line from the main tank is bad and the inner lining is collapsing stopping the fuel flow.
  13. I also have 4 brand new Zebco 33 reels that are a little dusty for the young kids or the grandkids. 46.00 for all 4 with shipping.
  14. that would also be great on a smaller boat and a 25HP TO A 35HP to set the motor back.
  15. was trolling Erie for eyes when a rod started bouncing some. I started reeling it in and had some resistance but it just never felt right. when I got my harness back to the boat it had a wireline hooked on it. I started pulling the wire in by hand and was rewarded with a nice 4# or 5# eye on a small reef runner looking crankbait. that was a good surprise.
  16. I just thought I have 4 Penn 330 GTI level wind reels with no counters on them. 125.00 each shipped. these are in like new condition. used for grouper fishing in Fl Intracoastal waters in FT Pierce for a week. I'm still looking for items I won't be using anymore.
  17. I will also ship the 9.9 4-stroke strapped to a pallet at your expense.
  18. the apollo prop has sold, thanks.
  19. if the boards are pulling hard and keeping the tow line tight I don't think it's going to get any better unless you go to a larger board.
  20. I also have 2 rotary steering cables in like new or new condition I believe 1 is a 10' the other one is a 12' if anyone is interested contact me and I will measure them for you. 30.00 each with shipping. the price on the 19p high five is 250.00 shipped. panther electric power tilt and trim for your kicker 400.00 plus 50.00 on shipping. in good working condition. a good lower unit for the old inline 6 Mercs from 90 HP TO 150 HP 350.00 plus shipping or pick up in Muncie IN.
  21. adding my 02 9.9 four stroke electric start tiller with the 20" shaft. 1200.00 pick up in Muncie IN. this is an older motor with very little use as I bought it from a guy who bought it for him and his dad to use. A short time later his dad died and he stored the boat and motor. later he sold the boat thinking he would buy another one but after storing the motor for a few years he decided to sell it. it looks much better than other 02 motors. it started up quickly and ran as smoothly as a baby's bottom. I bought it to use as a kicker but ended up using another motor and this one has been stored since I got it.
  22. I have a few things for sale I will never use. an Apollo 22p ss 4 blade prop 140. shipped. SOLD! a high five 19p ss 5 blade prop. ultimate hole shot better handling in rough water. a great all around prop. a 74 150 HP inline 6 Mercury with control box and external electronics to make it run, 200.00 pick up in Muncie IN. 200.00 more and get a good power tilt unit. the lower unit is worth 400.00 or more on eBay. the 150HP was running great when removed from the boat and has been stored for a while now. if it doesn't run I will refund all your money for 30 days. and will pay for return shipping. I may add a few more things later.
  23. a few years ago we were trolling along and saw a charter boat at a distance to our left. knowing a boat on the left is supposed to give way and thinking surely a charter boat would alter his course. then I looked up and he was right on top of us I had to make a hard right turn to miss him. As he goes by he started yelling at us until I yelled back we had the right of way and he had plenty of time to see us and alter his course. once he got by and we stopped and started to untangle all our lines we noticed the boat was filling with water fast. One of his large boards went under our boat hitting the bottom hard and we had to untangle his lead line. at first, I thought maybe he knocked a hole in the boat. but after some quick thinking, I said he had pulled our plug. luckily I always keep a couple of plugs in my boat. my oldest son took one and went overboard. after a couple of minutes, he got it in the hole. for some reason, it was very difficult to get the plug in. Then after a short time, our sump pump failed. we took 5 gallon buckets and 2 liter bottles and got it down where we could make it in.
