I just purchased a 2002 Anger 180F with a 2004 Mercury EXLPTO 115hp 2 Stroke on it. I noticed when I turn the key to the ON position I do not hear the alarm test "BEEP" go off. I was concerned about this so I replaced the alarm, but it still does not sound. I grounded the tan/blue wire that...
Is the primer bulb supposed to firm up if squeezed while the engine is running?
I was running at idle last night and the bulb was squishy when I squeezed it when the engine was running.

Just changed the thermostat because the engine seems to run very cool. The temperature guage never seems to move too much. When putting on the engine flushing ears and I start the engine, the water stream telltale starts within seconds. Is this normal? Isnt the...

When the engine is cold...squeeze primer bulb, choke engine, 2 to 3 seconds of turning over and the engine starts. Raise throttle with drive disengaged till engine is warm and then back to neutral...and engine idles fine.
Now...once i get to the fishing spot and the...
Started my engine up the other night and heard what seemed to be a light squeeling noise comming from the engine. It wasnt constant. The thing is...everytime I heard the noise there would be a hiccup in the pee stream from the water pump. Im assuming the pump needs to be replaced??
I opened up my setup this past weekend for the first time. I have a 17 foot center console and the engine on it is a 125 Mercury. This thing should FLY!! I was guessing id get 50mph on it, but the GPS says between 32 and 34 mph. Anyone know any reason why this might be?

Here is the second issue apart from my idle issue. The boat seems to only have 2 speeds... slow and really fast. Its hard to get the engine to stay at a medium speed. I can get out of the canal doing 5 mph, then ill increase the throttle and the handle seems like it gets stuck and you have...
Just bought a 17 ft boat with a 97 125hp Mercury on it. Its a 2 cycle and is carbureted. The motor starts up fine and idles, but after a few minutes the engine sounds like its about to stall then comes back up and is fine. It will keep doing this like every 10 seconds or so in an almost...
I recently bought a 5hp Gamefisher from a guy on craigslist. The motor ran like a top for the 5 times i brought it out. Started right away....water pump pumping etc. Today I ran into a problem. I went out a little further than I usually do, so the motor was running longer than I normally would...
I have a 96 Gamefisher 5hp outboard and I have noticed that the shift linkage is very very stiff. I really need to use some UMPH to move that lever. Is it supposed to be this way? Is there a way to lube it to free it up a bit? It goes into gear fine, its just alot of work to move that lever.
