Hello friends,
I'm changing out an impeller for the 1st time on my 95 Merc 60hp. I took off the lower unit today and found the current impeller in pieces. The serial# of this motor is a 0G212xxxx.
Can someone help me out with a factory Merc Impeller part# and a factory part number for the...
I finally got this 60hp to run, it's a 1995 oil injected 60hp Bigfoot Merc. Compression is good on all 3 cylinders, around 125-130. I changed the plugs, drained the gas and got it running on a high dose of sea foam and gas in the tank.
Now I have three additional concerns:
1) Once got I got it...
I just picked up a Mercury 9.9 tiller, manual start and I'm having a few issues with it.
1) I'm not to sure of the year as the ID tag is missing. The stamped tag on the motor is B204173. I think is might be an 1986...
2) It's a pain to start. Compression is 90 psi on both cylinders. I'm not...
My little Honda 8hp was being a bit finicky to start this morning. It's new to me so starting it right has been a learning curve. Well, something went wrong this morning and I'm about to learn a lesson, here goes. I'm going to be honest, I may have improperly tried to start the motor after I...
So here is the deal. I just bought this boat set up. 14ft 1997 sea nymph 50th anniversary with a 40hp 1997 Johnson electric start oil injection and power trim. When I bought it 4 days ago the guy turned the key and it started with no issue on one key turn. When it it started the motor was revved...
Hi Guys,
I just bought a 50th anniversary 14ft Sea Nymph that has a 40hp 2 stroke Johnson on it. It has power trim, electric start and is set up with a steering assembly. A 40hp is a bit overkill for me and I would like a 4 stroke so I would like to sell the 40hp and put on maybe a 25hp 4...
I just acquired this motor. It has a crack about 2 inches near the prop on the lower end from water freezing and splitting the gear housing. What is the least expensive yet good way way to fix this crack? I was told to use a marine JB weld to seal the crack, clean, sand and apply. However I...
I have a 12ft open vhull. I would like to make some sort of bracket for the front that would work well for placement and reach when wanting to use. I have not yet decked the boat but intentions are to do so. Can I be pointed in the direction I should take?
I have an 86 9.9 force. it is now missing the bar lock pin to keep the moter tilted. The parts looks to be 30 dollars shipped but I was curious if I could use a a bolt and nut to keep it in place and if that would be fine.
Thanks.
I have a bow mount but want to instead mount it on the transom. Is all I need a transom bracket? Do the transom brackets attach to the shaft easily or do you need to take the head or propeller off?
Thanks!
Brand new member to iboats! Looking forward to lots of new information on my first fishing boat.
I have a 1998 Gumman vhull that is in great shape and a 1986 9.9 Force motor that runs very well and is very clean. I'm trying to work with tight budgets and to just do it right but "cheap" if its...
