    What to coat new aluminum deck with?

    Hey guys, I had to do some hull work and wanted to change the layout of my outboard jet boat. I put all new aluminum floors down and would like to know what you guys suggest for a covering. It would be awesome to leave it bare aluminum, but its too bright and will get super hot in the summer...

    Rebuild fuel pump kit for Mercury 40/50/60/efi ?

    Tore into my entire fuel system to get it all cleaned up and rebuilt. From what I can see, Mercury only offers the entire (mechanical) fuel pump for the '02-'10 40-60hp EFI's. All I need is the diaphram and gaskets to rebuild it. Not sure why they want you to buy the entire pump. Anyone know...

    Anybody ever hear an EFI act like this before?

    '07 60hp EFI Had the boat on the trailer and was just letting the jet warm up and it started acting like this a minute or two after starting. Very strange. It has done it before, but always seems to be at idle a few minutes after starting. This is on a cold morning (28 degrees). Note that the...

    Mercury 60 EFI hard cold start

    Recently got a 2007 Mercury 60 EFI. Had it out 4 times and she seems to be a reliable engine. The previous owner said the only thing he did in the 3 years of owning it was change oil and water pump. We took it for a test run, it started right up, and ran great for our test run.

    Mercury EFI Flywheel install

    Just wondering, in the manual it tells me to replace the load ring under the flywheel. This is a 2007 4 stroke 60hp EFI. Problem is I have my timing belt/flywheel ready to re-install and do not have a new load ring. The $20 isn't what gets me, it's the 1 week waiting period to get the part and...

    Hey guys, going to look at a boat with a 2007 60hp (40hp at the jet) Mercury on the back serial #1C051324. I was wondering if you guys had any feedback on this particular engine. I love the 4 strokes for their starting and idling properties. I can work on just about any 2 stroke but haven't...
