I picked up a 2013 Mercury 9.9 4 stroke remote start to use as a kicker for trolling. I am going to be using it along with a Garmin TR-1 autopilot. I am fabricating a shifter to switch from neutral to drive but need an ignition. It has the 14 pin wire coming from the motor and I was going to buy...
I found a used 4 stroke yamaha long shaft with electric start but no power tilt. Its a 20" shaft so im not quite sure that it will be long enough. Will this work and if so what type of bracket do I need so it can be tilted while running?
First off you guys have been a great help through my transom rebuilding process. I rebuilt bellows, gimbal, and water pump in a mercruiser alpha gen 2 3.0L. I took it for a test ride and everything ran good. I was winterizing tonight and when in neutral you could hear a clicking or very small...
I have a Mercruiser Alpha Gen II 3.0. I gave up on the bellows and got the cheater tube. I installed it and trimmed the motor all the way down and did a check. I expected when trimmed down that the tube would go over top of the bellhousing boss but that isn't the case. Is it supposed to? I...
I have a mercruiser 3.0 in which I tore down to rebuild water pump, and replaced gimbal bearing and bellows. I did not replace the shift cable but removed it to replace the bellow. I put the drive on than installed the lower unit. When I did the work the drive was placed in forward gear WOT...
I replaced all the bellows and for the life of me cannot get the exhaust bellow to stay on the bell housing. I tried with bellows adhesive 3 times. The last time I sanded the boss to rough it up and it stayed on for about 1 hour trimmed up than worked itself off. Im about to lose my sh$t. Lol...
We were having issues with the prop earlier and couldn't get on plane. We dropped the pitch and some blades and increased the RPMs. It now takes about 100 yds full throttle to get on plane with two guys and batteries, fuel. Top speed is 38 mph. Is this normal with this setup?
We are having an issue with a 1992 692 Ranger Fisherman with 1992 Mariner 150 Magnum 3. It has a five blade mercury high 5 ss prop with 20 pitch. We checked out the motor and changed everything from plugs to fuel filters. All 6 cyl are 108-110 on compression tester. With two guys, 4 batteries...
We are having an issue with a 1992 692 Ranger Fisherman with 1992 Mariner 150 Magnum 3. It has a five blade mercury high 5 ss prop (don't know the pitch) which we are hoping is the problem. We checked out the motor and changed everything from plugs to fuel filters. All 6 cyl are 108-110 on...
