    93 manier 75 hp

    I can find it for my '93 150HPV6. When I look at the '93 75HP models, I have not found one without a tiller handle, which changes the linkage. I presume your's is not a tiller model?

    Axle Tube Drain Holes?

    That hole is too large to be a drain. Those are more like 1/4". I agree with Scott. Leaf Springs often have rivets holding the leaves together. These rivets can fit into matching axle holes, helping the locate and affix the springs to the axles.

    Need a CDI for a 1979 to 1983 120HP mercury outboard

    You might want to get an exact year and post the type (ADI, battery powered CDI) of switchbox you want on those sale sites. A part number would also help. I don't know of any Merc 120HP OBs from 1979.

    engine miss after installing vro to pre-mix pump

    My '98 Johnny 150HPV6 has an intermediate orifice on the carb or throttle body. They are open to the air. Give it a blast of spray solvent and see if that works. It is a brass tube under the air box.

    Installing new rode and chain

    I know just a little about windlasses. The ones I have seen do not allow shackles between the chain and rode. They use a chain/rope splice. It does not have the same chafe resistance as the line thimble and shackle. I would recommend you check it often and if so, monitor it for chafe. e.g...

    Lake temp

    So you plan to replace an existing gauge with the depth gauge? Which one?

    Speedometer and Trim gauge stopped working

    Speedos are usually based upon water pressure. The pickup (pitot tube) often kick up. You might see if you have the speedo on the transom. As for the trim gauge. They measure variable resistance. Any resistance in the wiring will throw off their accuracy.

    Haul repair

    You can repair it as you described in post #5. It is much harder than fixing from the inside, however, both will work.

    Leaking fuel tank

    You could buy a new connector and put it on the fitting when not using the tank. Simply plug the fuel nipple on the new connector. That could seal the tank. Pop it off and connect the fuel line when you want to use the fuel in the tank.

    MerCruiser 5.0 (Carb Engine) will not turn, what is this part?

    Gee, will it turn over with the spark plugs removed, using a wrench on the main pulley? Fire extinguisher dry chemical is both course and caustic to metal. If the carb sucked some of it in, or some went into the exhaust port, it could be gumming up the works.

    Leaking fuel tank

    It is "leaking" from the place where the fuel comes out. When you connect the fuel line, that plunger unseals the tank, allowing the fuel to flow into the fuel line. I do not know if there are repair kits for the fitting itself.

    Battery disconnect while running engine

    OK, the voltage seems OK. It still makes sense to put a voltmeter on the battery and check for AC voltage there. Some of the alternator diodes could be shorted.

    Toyota/Lexus Timing Belt Change Thoughts

    So, you are going to let your kid drive a car with 150K miles w/o checking the brakes and wheel bearings? If you are in the rust belt, a visual check of the suspension and suspension support structures is in order, IMO.

    Battery disconnect while running engine

    I would check the alternator, as the diodes usually blow when the battery is disconnected. It should be as simple as checking for AC voltage at the battery when the engine is running. If no AC voltage, check for DC voltage rise as RPM increases, to confirm alternator is charging.

    Fast idle/start

    I am not an expert on your motor, but my '98 Johnny developed a situation where the linkage stuck. I exercised it and it was fine after that. You might like to see if it needs lube.

    Trailer Painting

    Out here on the salt pond, powder coated steel lasts just a bit longer than painted steel. Neither are practical, IMO. Outside stuff needs to be hot dip galvanized, aluminum or stainless. HD galvanized needs any suspect spots promptly painted with the cold zinc spray. I use a couple of...

    Toyota/Lexus Timing Belt Change Thoughts

    Gee, I am not sure of the question/dilemma. You bought a used car with a lot of miles and don't know the maintenance history. I would get a service manual and see what maintenance needed to be performed. Some stuff you can check at least casually like oil and fluid levels. I would change the...

    1992 johnson faststrike 150

    Overheating will activate the S.L.O.W system which limits RPM, but should not stall or otherwise shut down the motor. That motor should have the shift assist switch which kills spark to 3 cylinders. Perhaps the shift assist switch is activated and then S.L.O.W. then causes the engine to...
