    My friend has a 1989 Bayliner with a 125 hp force L-Drive motor with starter problems. When he goes to turn the key over, the starter would turn only but not go up to engage the flywheel. He had replaced the starter last year around summer time and the boat had been running fine until last...

    Motor Alignment off?

    Mercury XR6 150hp won't go into reverse

    Ok, so here's my problem. The last time I used it during the summer, I noticed that my boat was not going full speed when I have the throttle all the way down. Heck, it won't even pick up speed and was going at about 5-10 miles an hour only. So being frustrated, I thought it was the carbs...

    Re: Carbs stuck on closed position??? Here's a picture of my top carb. All 3 carbs are currently sitting in this position. Should the butterflies be open? It's reving up to almost 4000 rpm on initial startup. I'm not keeping it on for more than a few seconds with water running because of...

    Carbs stuck on closed position???

    Ok, so after rebuilding my carbs, the motor is reving like crazy on startup even though it's on neutral. I rechecked and even rebuilt it again for a second time and everything is nice and tight and all hoses are where they should be with zip ties. Carb link is attached as well as oil pump...

    I have a 1996 Nitro savage 884 with mercury 150 xr6 2 stroke motor. When I turn the key to the on position, even before starting it up, I get 3 quick beep beep beep sounds. What does that indicate? I usually just ignore it and start it up and it would start up fine. It just bugs me when I...
