    1996 9.9 HP 4 stroke Merc Mariner- HOPE SOMEBODY HAS SOME ANSWERS

    I had this exact motor. A "simple" cleaning of the carb isn't good enough. Take it off , (carefully), and do a thorough cleaning. Be careful though, cause back in 2014ish there were limited carbs available, so if you jack this one up, you might be SOOL Yes, if you are using a trash can the...

    2017 Mercury 150 EFI Bogging Down

    So this post caught my eye. I have a 25 hp efi, and I as well have been running into issues with WOT. Low RPM's to be exact, (seems to run fine at lower throttle settings) which obviously means no mph. Which really sucks with the 25. Anyway, my motor has a HP and LP fuel filter, The low...

    Mercury 25hp EFI 4 stroke

    Hi all, I have a 2006 mercury 25 EFI on a 2007 lowe stinger 160. The motor will not plane out and seems to barley do 8-10 mph. It runs very well at idle but at full throttle with load I can only get 4100 rpm, (full range 6k). The motor out of water gets up to the full range. The boat is...

    9.8 Nissan Starter Interlock Adjustment

    Is their a way to adjust the interlock on a 9.8 nissan. The electric start will not engage in the neutral position unless you lightly pull the shift lever forward. (not switching into gear). The electric start should engage while the shift lever is in its normal position.
