A $300 survey can save you thousands!! Almost spent $16000 on a boat a year ago until I said I needed a survey then the guy stopped all contact with me. Later seen the boat selling for less than half the price due to rotten stringers. I could have been up the creek with rotten stringers!!

He is doing it wrong!

I would stay away from Michigan stingers paint washes off spoons. Customer service blows! I have a bunch of silver ones that used to have paint on them if you are interested.

Also it will have merc cast in the block on the left hand side behind the exhaust manifold.

If you have a steering cable you need to replace it. Don't waist your time trying to grease it. Moisture builds up in them over time and seizes them up.

You will still need the primer bulb to build up pressure before you start your kicker but your 9.9 will draw fuel fine after that. I should mention I have the similar set up I run a merc 9.9 off my main tank and have no problems after installing switch. Mine is a brass marine switch think I paid $50 for it.

Its simple you are drawing air through the carb on your main motor..Run your main fuel line to a 3 position fuel switch. Then you run 2 lines off of your switch one to main and the other to your kicker. You simply turn the switch to the motor you want to run and will have no problems.

Wish I had an extra $2500! Great deal

Any mechanic will tell you that your rpm's are way to low. This is a very common problem people have with 5.7 motors. It is much better to run the motor at a higher rpm to ensure proper oil pressure and water flow. But many other point the guys on here mentioned are worth looking into. I'd run bags that's just my 2¢

Try the bags Rich I'm sure this will solve all of your problems. Let us know how it works out for you.

Rich most engines will overheat at 650 rpms. Your impeller is not spinning fast enough to supply the water your engine needs to keep cool. Also you will have dangerously low oil pressure which will eventually cause major engine damage. Go buy a set of trolling bags the resistance will make you run a higher rpm ( should be 1000 to 1500 when trolling) this will allow your engine to pump the water it needs to keep cool and keep your oil pressure at a safe level. Hope this helps? Good luck

Well good luck keeping the color on the blades. Michigan stingers are awful! I quit buying them 2 years ago.Drop a green and pull up a silver!
