Greetings all. Upgraded to a newer motor. 2008 Mercury 50ELPTO (2-stroke). To date my newest motor was a 1986 Mercury 90HP Inline 6. Right now I don't have any gauges on my boat. I have an analog OMC tach with pole settings on the back. Ironic it's a OMC tach but instructions say it works...
Hello, so I recently acquired a nice little fishing boat with a 1984 40 HP Evinrude (E40ELCRM). It did not come with a transom saver so I towed it home in the tilt lock position. Unfortunately I must of hit too big a bump along the way because the stop link bracket (Port Side) snapped (See...

I'm going to look at a 20HP ourboard tonight and plan on checking compression and spark and doing a crackle test on the lower unit fluid. The motor supposedly has sat for the last four years in a guys basement so any tips on things to look for would be much appreciated. It's...
Ok - So while i'm ironing out some issues with my motor I've decided that it is definitely time (if possible) to add a second trim switch back by the motor so when I'm putting the transom saver on I don't have to run back and forth to the controls etc to get the transom saver set correctly. I...
I will be the first to tell you that I am not a seasoned outboard technician. However, with the info I have found on this site and the amount of work I have done using my OEM Merc service manual and seloconline subscription I thought I was getting pretty good! WRONG... Recently I discovered...
Concept idea - I have my 90HP running perfect and am very happy with the performance. However, knowing that this motor and the 115HP are basically the same and that the 115 HP is just ported a little differently etc, my question is this... If I have access to a professionally rebuilt 115 HP...

Ok - so long story short had an issue with the bottom brass plug under the main nozzle while rebuilding carbs and cracked the carburetor casting! Carburetor is a WMK-39 (center carb). I've called around and have found WMK-24, WMK-25, and a WMK-41 (WMK-41 is for 115 i...
What is the most fuel efficient Jet size to use? If fuel efficieny cannot be achieved via Jet size then what is the best performance size for my altitude? I live in the midwest as far as altitude.
thanks,

Greetings. 1985 Mercury 90 HP inline 6 (the tower of power). Adding a tach. I'm pretty sure the pole setting is "12" but wanted to double check with the forum. Thanks in advance for your time and knowledge!

Hey everyone. It always gets to me when i'm reading a thread of interest and there is no finite resolution. Like people are getting close to a solution but you never know what the problem ended up being. So I am doing my part and following up with the results of my issue so... here it is... I...
Hello I have a 1985 Mercury 90 HP and am having one hell of a time finding the trim sender kit for it. It has the Type "B" Trim system (see attached image) and if anyone can tell me the mercury part number for the send kit that attaches to the starboard pump I would be truly greatful. The...
Hello - I've found a new 2006 4 stroke 90 HP Yamaha for a good deal but want to know what controls (side mount) would be compatible with this motor. They must be able to do tilt & trim. The motor has multi-port precision fuel injection, four independent fuel injectors, DOHC, & 4 valves per...
Hello all - Currently I have a 1983 E75TRLCTE (dry weight 250 lbs) on my 1983 LUND XRF 4.9 Super Pike. I don't want to put any more money in to the motor so I've pretty much made up my mind to upgrade to a 2008 90 HP optimax which has a weight of 370 lbs. A freind of mine is giving me a killer...
Finally got all my parts to rebuild the entire fuel system (Carbs, new high speed jets, fuel pump, new lines, tees, etc...) Going to start digging into this on Thursday night since I have Friday off. Decided to replace the reeds while I'm at it and will have easy access to the intake manifold...
Was told I hi-jacked someone else's thread so am starting my own... If you don't like reading the history you can skip down to the problem area.
