I am adding a battery and ACR from BlueSea - There is a 65A and 120A model ACR and looking for the charging current for my 1991 115 hp Mercury 2 stroke. Does anyone know?
Please bare with the long explanation but want to include all of the details...
My Force 50 hp 507Y8C outboard is on a 17' aluminum Blue Fin. I changed the spark plugs since the current plugs where not listed as recommended and thought it would provide more power. The new plugs provide 6 hp...
My engine measures 12.5v before starting across battery and 12.5v at idle. I installed a new ignition switch a month ago and discovered the tach wire was attached to the accessory pin on the switch. When I installed the new ignition switch I left the tach wire off. This was 12v connected to...
1988 Force 50 hp - I need to resolve problem One first.
Problem One - Engine cranks slow but I have a new fully charged battery. I am about to replace the battery cables because it appears to be corroded. Next I will check the starter relay then the starter. also - I may lube the flywheel...
My father-in-law wants to replace the impeller on his 1968 6-hp Evinrude outboard. After removing the lower unit bolts and disconnecting the shift rod linkage the lower unit isn’t dropping. It sounds solid when pulling the lower unit down as if there is something preventing it from dropping...
The old switch I removed was different from the one I just bought.
New switch connections: Green wire (C), Red (B), Blue and White (M), Yellow (S), Purple (doesn't connect), I installed a Voltage gauge and have a wire going to the voltage gauge from (A) (same as "I" I suppose) - the other...
I have a diagram in my engine manual and the diagram that came with the voltage gauge. The manual diagram doesn't show connections to a voltage gauge. The way the gauge is wired now is inconsistent with the wiring diagram that came with the gauge.
Is there a standard way to wire the voltage...
I can only find flat gaskets for the drain and vent screws for my 1988 50 HP Force. They don't seat right because the area the gaskets rests is beveled. The gasket disintegrates because it pulls into the beveled area behind the screw when tightened. When I go to the parts stores they always...
When I removed the lower unit I saw dark oil around the water pump. I know it is unburned gas/oil mix but should the two "chambers" above the lower unit be separate? The area aft above the lower unit is where the water returns down after it runs through the copper tube from the water pump...
is it better to pour the oil in the tank - then pour the gas in so that it mixes up? or should you mix in a separate container first then shake then pour into gas tank?
After I pulled my boat out of the water (few hours) I noticed oil on the ground below the motor. I traced it back up to the intake in the lower unit. The 2-stroke oil I mix with the gas is green. The gear oil I use is a blue tint. It was a little hard to tell what color the oil was but it...
