Hello,
I have a Mercury Quicksilver Stainless Steel prop (48-16314A5-17P) that I believe may be in need of a new hub. I purchased it used and it appears to have one of the pressed in rubber hubs.
I have a couple of questions:
Can anyone tell me what model prop this is? (I think it's an old...

Good evening,
I am currently helping a buddy work on his Mercury Classic 50 outboard. A little over a month ago, he called me from the lake stating he had fuel gushing out of the...

Good afternoon,
I just replaced a overheat alarm sensor on my 84 Mercury 200 outboard because the wiring had corroded so badly that the insulation was gone and the wires were breaking.
I've looked through my OEM service manual, but I'm either overlooking the wiring diagram or it's not in...
I have a 1986 Mariner (Mercury) 115 Outboard with the 3 ram Power Trim System. The system has worked fine for the past couple of years since I replaced the unit.
Last week I ventured out to the lake. The motor trimmed up fine and held itself up while I was backing the trailer down the ramp...
Hi all,
A couple of months ago I purchased a 1984 Bayliner Trophy center console boat to replace a small bass boat as my catfishing rig. The boat was in need of repair and had some major wiring issues, so I attended to them first. Once I was able to get on the water, I thought the stern was...
I recently bought a new (to me) boat with a 1986 Mariner 115 Inline 6 cylinder outboard. The previous owner stated he had installed a new power trim motor, but that he believed there was air trapped inside it. I believe most of these systems are self-bleeding, but I know a lot of the time people...
Hi all.
Last week I brought home a new, to me, boat. Unfortunately, the power trim switch on the control handle is not functioningproperly.
The previous owner wired the trim to a toggle switch in a dumb part of the dash.
I am wanting to replace the switch and restore function to the...
Hello,
I have two Humminbird Helix 7 units. One is a Helix 7 SI GPS and the other is a Helix 7 DI GPS. I also have a Humminbird 597 CI HD (Not DI)
The Helix 7 SI is at the helm of my bass boat. The DI is mounted near the trolling motor.
The 597 CI HD is located at the helm of a smaller...
A good friend of mine just bought a 1987? Mercury 9.9 Tiller Handle outboard. It came with the remote controls as it had been on a pontoon boat, but the seller still had the tiller handle attached with the throttle and shift cables hanging loose inside the cowling.
Since this is going on a 1436...
I recently picked up a boat with a 1979 Mercury 115 Inline 6 Cylinder engine. Serial Number: 5314846
The previous owner had allowed it to sit with fuel in the carburetors. The fuel had spoiled in both the carburetors and the fuel pump, so those components were cleaned and rebuilt. I installed...
I believe I'm having a problem with my charging circuit in my 1994 Johnson 88 HP Outboard (J88MSLERD)
. Last year, my rectifier burned up. I purchased a new regulator/rectifier and a new stator but want to make sure it isn't something else causing the problem before I burn up the new parts.
Is...
Hello All,
Last summer I rebuilt all three carburetors on my 1984 Mercury 200HP V6 outboard. After reinstalling the carbs and synchronizing the timing and carbs per the OEM Shop Manual for my engine, I noticed that my WOT RPM was low. A description of the problem is listed below:
Outboard...
Hi All,
I have been toying with a Scott McCulloch 7.5HP Outboard for a week or two in an attempt to get some motors running and out of my garage so I have space for new toys.
When I put this outboard up on the stand, I found that it had no spark. That was remedied by cleaning and resetting...
A month or so ago, I rebuilt the carbs and did a link and sync of my 84 Mercury 200HP engine. It is now running well, but I have noticed a slight issue. The engine doesn't seem to get up to the proper rpm level at WOT.
When I take off with the engine trimmed all the way down, my RPMs climb as...
