Another question for you all. So I finally think I have this thing running okay and everything working. The perdicament I am in now deals with the prop. When I bought the boat it came with two props, neither of them installed. Both are Stainless Steel Laser II. One is a 24 pitch and the other...

Update: Sorry guys I have been super busy lately between the boat and my daughters and selling my house/buying my new house. I have the boat ready for its maiden voyage. I tried yesterday but the drain plug I bought at Walmart wouldn't work. I had just picked one up and never checked it and of...

So I have been messing with the boat for the last week as much as I could after work. I finally got the ignition switch all wired in and working. Then it would only run for about a second each time. So I took the carbs off and of course the previous owner didn't winterize the boat like he told...

Little update. I actualy just found a pdf service manual for my engine with all of the wiring diagrams. This is going to help me tons. I will update you all once I get a chance to start hooking these wires up. :)

Haha I agree. I have family like that as well. But instead of boats it is their cars I have to fix. They run them ragged until they stop and then I have to fix the stuff after its 10 times worse than it should of been because they just kept driving it.

Thanks for the help so far. I am still struggling though. I am well versed in wiring. I was a ford mechanic for 7 years and being a young one I received most of the nightmare electrical issues. My problem is I'm am just trying to figure out the ignition. I can figure out most of the gauge stuff...

Thanks!!! This will definitely help. I just wish I could find a diagram for the engine so I could wire the ignition switch. It just seems like every diagram I can find its never for the right motor. I have a 115 Mercury 4 cylinder with EFI. Most of the diagrams I find have wires labeled for...

Hello all. I am new here and looking for a little help. I just purchased my first boat which is a 2000 Nitro 700 LX SC with a 115 Mercury 2 stroke. I purchased the boat from an older couple who's son had completely unhooked every piece of electrical under the dash. All of my gauges are...

Hello all. My name is Steven and I live in Richmond Va. I grew up just outside of the city on a 4 acre pond and spent many days of my youth fishing. I just started fishing again and I caught the fever bad... I just purchased a 2000 Nitro 700 LX SC with a Mercury 115 on it. This is my first boat...
