    v6 80's evinrude electrical question

    Friend just got, what I am guessing, a mid 80's V6 175 hp evinrude. It has a dark blow cowling if that helps. The wiring was all corroded on the terminal strip and the color coding label was missing. <br /><br /><br />What we have done so far:<br />The two yellow wires from the stator hit the...

    flywheel holder

    Alright, what do you guys use for a flywheel holder when torquing the flywheel nut? Short of buying the one from Merc. at some outlandish price, ouch. The rope trick didn't work for me, so I was wondering what other setups people are using.

    Gear lube color?

    I was helping a buddy winterize is boat this weekend. Upon checking the gearcase oil it was dark green, almost like 2stroke oil? Is the gear lube for OMC's dark green? I'm used to the light translucent tan/brown color. However, it did have that unmistakable gear lube smell, gotta love it.<br...

    Cost of...?

    This guy I know has a 90's 200 Merc. I told him I would do the work on his engine instead of the shop in order to save him some money.

    Hard steering

    Allright boat is out of the water and taken care of. Now to a winter project for a problem that has always plagued me. The steering is very stiff. It's not the helm or the steering cable as i've disconnected the steering link assembly at the engine and the wheel turns back and forth like...

    Cylinder head question?

    My Engine: 88' V6 200Hp Black Max..<br /><br />Looking in my merc manual, it shows a cylinder head and a head cover. Each of which have a gasket. And I imagine the water jacket is under the head cover.<br /><br />But....<br />My engine was recently rebuilt (2004) and appears to have one peice...

    87' 60hp vro won't stay running

    I got this boat for free. When I first got it, it would start but not keep running unless I kept choking it. Naturally, i figured it was the fuel pump. But i decided to run some seafoam thru the fuel (thinking the carbs were a little gummed) and after playing with it a bit... it would run on its...

    87' 60hp VRO battery drain

    New battery, with the ignition switch turned to "off" the battery got completely drained. The boat has been sitting for about a month and I excepted some slight drain, but it registered less than 3 volts. I have no electrical accessories, so what could it be? Can the ignition switch get...

    oversized main jets, problem?

    Cross checking with chart in merc factory manual, the carbs on my 88' V6 merc (W22-1 22-2 22-3) have main jet orfices of 0.76. Checking what I have, they are all in the range 0.80-0.84.

    Fouled Plugs?

    I run 6 gallons of fuel to 16 oz of oil (50:1) on my V6 88' 200 hp Black Max. The engine runs great,nothing to complain about... But whenever I take a look at the plugs they seem black, wet with oil around the treads of the plugs and a little tinted on the face of the plug. Is this normal? If I...

    Leaky Reeds?

    I had my engine fully tilted up the other day. I removed the plugs and sprayed some PowerTune in the cylinders. About 5 minutes later I tilted the engine down and white liquid came flowing out the carbs. It may have been only one carb, but I don't know. Does this sound like bad reeds, or is this...

    Explain the Poppit valve?

    Alright I understand that the poppit remains closed below 3000RPM and opens thereafter to maintain "constant flow". <br /><br />Upon disassembling the entire relief valve system I am confused. So water comes from behind the flywheel down to the relief valve system. Now if the water pressure is...
