    Mercury 225 Optimax

    interesting Admiral - I will have to take it out, stay close to the dock, and see if it quits again.... It shut off like I had shut the switch off - no sputtering, backfiring etc - just BOOM - shut down... It was over 100 degrees that day so the high temp sensor might have had something to do...

    Hit AGAIN!

    I'm thinking when the bullets stat flying stay CLOSE to Jack.... as bad as his luck has been he will surely take the hit for you!  Seriously, sorry to hear about this. I wish people would take responsibility for their actions...

    Pressure Washer Cleaning...

    I have a Karcher washer with a 6.5 hp engine.  I use it to clean the boat but only run it about 1/4 throttle.  Full throttle would probably tear up the carpet and the plywood :) Had small black spots on top of the seats.  Old fella at the marina told me to use Tilex.  Worked great!

    Mercury 225 Optimax

    Out with family last weekend tubing.  Engine ran great while we were tubing and ran it hard!!  On the way back (running 2000 RPM) engine just quits - would not restart.  Next morning it fired right up...?  Ideas?  Lanyard switch possible?  What should I check first?  Thanks all!

    Request for a Replacement Bimini Top

    Good morning all! Newbie here and I need some advice. Last Wednesday I submitted a question on the Bennington web page about getting a replacement Bimini top. I received an auto reply and never heard from anyone else. I wrote again on Monday - same thing.... We just bought our used pontoon...
