    Smart Craft Guidance

    Followed the link, that’s good info. Not sure how much knowledge you have of this sort of thing, but what is the reason for rigging engines as both starboard? Is there any advantage?

    Smart Craft Guidance

    Looking for someone who knows the in’s and out’s of setting up a smart craft system. I have two Mercury 150 Four Stroke outboards and when they were rigged, they were both setup as starboard engines. Apparently this was common practice at one point. Anyway, I’m looking for some advice so I...

    2016 150 Four Stroke - Fuel Burn Question

    I’m definitely paranoid about my motors, not sure why, so my ears and eyes are always open for an issue. I just made a 60 mile run and noticed a few things. Right around 3000-3500 RPM’s I’ve noticed that my starboard engine burns about a gallon less per hour than the port engine, above or...

    150 XL Fuel / Water Separator

    Fuel Additives / Treatments

    I’m new to the four stroke outboard game, I’m running twin 2016 150 XL’s with low hours. I’m curious what people use for additives at every fill up? I’m meticulous about maintenance so I want to do my best to keep all aspects of the engine in tip-top shape, and most importantly running great!
