So this isn't one of the early Merc units that had a seperate reservoir? With the old system, there was a pump system that usually got mounted inside the boat. The newer systems have everything mounted on the motor itself. -Chris

Actually it was a fairly warm day from what I remember. The lake was actually quite a bit rougher than it looks like in the pics. I like the lake when it's choppy, so I started running up and down the lake, doing some wide open fun runs across the white caps and Yolie thought she would...

Welcome aboard Paul. :) Nice to have you with us. :thumb: Is this the older style Merc pump that had the seperate reservoir? Or is it all integrated into the motor? eBay is always a good spot for finding good used parts. You could also try your local Merc dealer and see what they have...

Here's page 8 & 9. :)

Consider it done. :) I created a Sea Nymph brand discussion forum on the message board and also a Sea Nymph category in the photo gallery as well. I look forward to seeing your contributions to each. Enjoy! :) -Chris

Happy now? Hasn't it been 5 days in a row at plus 5? :) -Chris

Oh yeah! Anticipation ain't the word. :devil: And I saved that box! :rof: I had to drive 1 1/2 hours from Toronto to get the motor, then drove 1 1/2 hours back home with it. Then I had to wait a few days and drive it 2 1/2 hours up to the cottage. Finally I got to mount it the next...

I know my Merc was one of the last North American made 2 stroke models. I believe after 06 Merc moved production of the small 2 stroke models "off-shore". So your dealer might be right in that they are the same. There are other cases where manufacturers supply major components like powerheads...

Welcome aboard! Nice to have you with us. :) -Chris

Here's a couple more shots from when I first bought it...

Here's a shot of me from last year rippin' it up, with my Merc 25 2 stroke on the tin boat. Spring can't come soon enough! :thumb:

Just checked.... ...The ETEC 25 weighs in at about 150+ depending on how it's rigged. http://www.evinrude.com/en-US/Flash/index.html ...The Merc 25 EFI is 156+ depending on how it's rigged... http://www.mercurymarine.com/engines/outboards/fourstrokes/enginesetthree_specs.php?ID=83 -Chris

BRP just brought out some smaller ETEC models including a 25 HP. I took a few pictures of them at the 09 Toronto Boat Show. Not sure what they weigh though... I shall investigate! Mercs little 25's and 30 I believe are also rope start EFI's which is very cool. I thought they were a...

Hi Steve, Welcome aboard, nice to have you with us. What is the max power rating of your Sylvan? Some 14' Tin boats can handle quite a bit of weight and power, others can't. It really depends on the model of boat and how it's constructed. And with the lighter weight models, if you get too...

Welcome aboard. :thumb: Thanks for joining up - it's nice to have you with us. I collect old brochures wherever I can find them. Vintage boat shows and flea markets are always good places. And eBay is another option as well. :) -Chris

Does it run listing to one side?

Here's page 6 & 7. :surf:

It was a nice day today here in Toronto. It got up to 11 C or 51 F. It was warm up north at the cottage too. Hopefully the snow will disappear soon so we can get the season started. :thumb: -Chris
