Thanks School.
Man, I love that 78 V-20 in your Photo Bucket. Sweat.
Look even better with my Merc. on the back of it. Sure...we can trade for that Johnson. ;D

Nothing works better than a 12 ga. shotgun cleaning brush, the wire brush. Pick it up at WallyWorld for $2 or so. Chuck it in a dril and go to town.

I have found Beach Marine, on rt 1, just behind Curly's BBQ, to be better service than West.
If they don't have it in stock, they will order it.
They also love to give knowledable advice.

I picked up a Guest charger for the ship at West
and some of the workers seemed like I was bothering them with questions.

Been to Beach Marine once, when trying to transfer the ownership of my boat. They wouldnt do it, so I took it to Shorts MArine where I had no problems.
Shotgun brush. Nice idea. Just as long as I keep the shotgun away from the boat when I loose my patience.
;D ;D

hey hammer just go to this site and get a new stainless tube. I replaced all my old non-stainless ones to these, they are great.

Skool:
Bought the whole kit and went for it. New steering cable and steering helm. All cleaned up and lubed, lower unit sealed, new plugs and wires and installed the rest of teh guages, water pressure pump, volt guage and cigarette lighter ;D
She turns perfect, starts right up. The water guage shows teh needle shooting up and down from 0 to 10, but as you guys said these Mercs. never pee as good as other motors.
I'll post some pics. Will be taking her out Friday evening for a spin.

She;s done and ready for some fun. New steering cable and helm along with tune up and a few more new guages. Time to get some enjoyment and move onto other things I want done.
