    "97 oceanpro 150 hp, erratic idle

    Hi guys, I just tried prestarting my engine in the driveway before a trip tomorrow, and I've never had any problems (350hrs). It started harder than the normal fire right up, died out after a few seconds a couple times. Then the idle ran way up to 2000-2500 rpm after a few seconds at 1000, and...

    Trim/tilt got stuck in down position, HELP

    Hi gentlemen, I have not been here in a while. I took the boat out, and on coming back into the dock, the trim/tilt would not go up :mad: . It would go down more, which was a bad thing at the time, but in going up, the relay clicked, but nothing moved, nothing else happened. This is a 97...

    Update on 150 ocean pro check eng light

    Just wanted to update my issue, may get a little long winded, but I hope it might help somebody. I had an intermittent check engine light on a '97 ocean pro 150hp carbed engine. I decided since I have no vacuum gauge and the VRO is 7 years old, I'd go ahead and change it out since my main use is...

    Same 1997 Ocean Pro 150 HP, Dies

    Same motor, last problem and off to the beautiful Pacific :) . When the engine warms up, out of gear it idles right along at 700-800 Rpm, I can go fast idle 2-3000 rpm and back no problem. If I put it in gear and throttle up no problem, even in gear and barely in, spins the prop and runs fine...

My driveway has a very steep aproach, a steep grade of about 25', and then it very suddenly levels out onto a level area. I can install drag wheels...

    1997 150 ocean pro, general information

    I just purchased a boat with the '97 150 ocean pro on it. Hour meter reads 278. Compression came in at 125-130 range. I'm new to boating, what do these engines like and hate, like for instance, sitting at idle for extended periods, or what RPM ranges should I want to stay in when running, and...
