I just bought a 16' fishing boat with a 1983 70 hp Johnson that currently has a prop lower end unit. A jet drive unit came with the purchase as well and according to the previous owner he had it remove and replaced with the prop for personal perference. Since I do more fishing on the river, I...
I have a 1984 Mariner 200 hp. The motor seem like it's not getting enough feul. The motor jerks alot at WOT, but sometime when I'm lucky it'll plane normally at over 55+ mph. I was thinking about using GUMOUT spray Carb cleaner to clen it out tomorrow and not tear down the carb. Dose anyone...
I have a 1984 Mariner 150 hp. The motor will not go past 15 mph at 2000
rpm at WOT. Sometime it will and sometime it will not. I thought it was a
spunged hub, so I bought a new prop and hub kit but the same problem still arise. On a lucky ride you could reach 3500 rpm to 4000 rpm going 40-50...
I have a 84 Mariner 150hp. I took it out last weekend and I noticed right away that something was wrong when the motor was at WOT. The motor will rev but the speed kept constant at around 15 mph. I used to do 50+ mph on this boat. I been searching on this forums and it seem like it was a...

I have a 1984 150 hp v-6 mariner. I took my bass boat out yesterday and I was able to do 55+ mph, today I couln't even do 15 mph. The motor will run, but there seem to be no problems. I ran full throttle and yet I couldn't even get past 15 mph. I could tell the motor was working hard at full...
Please Help, I tried firing up my 1984 Mariner 150 hp V-6, and I had no luck. Compression and feul are there but there are no sparks in the top two cylinder and bottom two cylinders. The middle two cylinders has sparks. How do I go about fixing the problems? How do I know if the coils and...
Ok guys, dumb questions, but I did do a search and found no answers on the forums. I had to disconnect both hydraulic lines from the power trim to rigg the new motor a week ago. I connected the two lines back on. How do I bleed the hydraulic? Also, what the easiest way to empty the gas tank...
I just bought a 150 hp Mariner outboard motor 3 months ago from my boss. The original owner left it at my boss's property and never came back for it since 2002. I did a compression test and all 6 cylinders had a compression of 115-120 psi before I bought it. I rigged the motor last weekend...
I am removing a 1983 150hp Mariner of my skeeter bass boat. My question is, how do you remove the steering linkage on the motor. Do I need a special tool? Thanks
I bought a 150 hp Mariner today for 1000 dollars. The compression on all six cyclinders are 115-120. The owner is unsure of the year and the motor has not been ran since 1991 (the last year it was register). The serial number is 6494246. Did I get a good deal or not?
