    Only use this tool to remove flywheel.

    Thank you Scott. These magnets are in better shape but still have small chips towards the top. Can I use this flywheel ?

    Only use this tool to remove flywheel.

    But did I ? Picture speaks for itself . 1996 175 Johnson Cracked My Magnet while getting flywheel off. Does this chipped magnet need to replaced or should it still perform . ? If I put it back together without replacement what might I expect as far as running or not and or performance. If a...

    1996 OMC 150 HP V6 shudder kicking above idle

    Great post. Glad you stuck with it. If persons are unfamiliar with the warning and slow mode features this type of issue can be quite elusive to figure out. When you plug the sensor back in it should do the same thing . Try it . If you replace it with a new one and it does the same thing look...

    What is this thing called ?

    Going through my pile of nautical thingies and this one eludes me. Can anyone give it a name besides a thingy. It came off of a 30 foot or so Cheoy Lee. Thank you in advance.

    Yamaha cavitation plate repair

    as Cyclops says . which is why I moved to think of epoxies rather than take the time and effort to find a good aluminum welder.

    Yamaha cavitation plate repair

    Great answer . I thought on the bubbles and cavitation which is why I decided to put the plate on top instead of under the broken original . i agree with your answer . What about using JD Weld epoxy inplace of the 5200 ?

    Yamaha cavitation plate repair

    I have not seen this question asked so either it is not a good question for this forum or or or just not a good question . My plate above the prop has broken off and I am in the process of repairing it. I would prefer a painless (pay less) aproach . Paint has been removed and the metal has...

    1987 Mercury 9.9 B151689 Flywheel magnets

    In the first picture would I just slide itto the left and affix it in previously marked position ? Or in picture two would I lift it , place it as shown across from where it is in its previously marked placement ?

    1987 Mercury 9.9 B151689 Flywheel magnets

    To be quite frank I have no idea what is north and what is south on the magnets. I hate to be impulsive (like I tend to be) and just place them with epoxy and then suffer the extreme anguish of breaking it to remove and reverse it. I'll remove the old adhesive , that will keep me occupied...

    1998 Mercury 75 HP 2-Stroke RPM Issue - Possible Stator Problem?

    I hope you get her done. The processs of elimination can be frustrating but for some of us it beats bringing it to the shop and spending a whole lot of $$. Plus some of us somehow enjoy the frustration but when its fixed it is the joy of the win. Ignition issues can be difficult just the nature...

    1998 Mercury 75 HP 2-Stroke RPM Issue - Possible Stator Problem?

    Not real technical here but have you ran it at night , cowl removed. Look for and listen for a short . Perhaps when on the water if its calm enough and safety measures observed hook up a timing light to each cyinder in turn try to find a trouble spot on acceleration under load. When is your...

    1987 Mercury 9.9 B151689 Flywheel magnets

    I have included some pictures I hope which will help to clarify my lack of proper linguistics. Aparently the po glued this magnet without success. I am hoping to correct the problem. I know to clean the both surfaces removing all existing adhesives and coating. I have been ill for quite a while...
