    Yamaha F100 TLRY - 2 lower units but only one shaft fits?

    At the end of the day do the pictures actually help? Not sure they do.

    2004 F115 Regulator Rectifier Blows Every 12 Hours

    Wondering if your stator is freaking out ruining your rectifier....or your wires have a short. Something wonky here.

    70 hp rectifier wiring

    I think you will find 2 & 3 are jumped together and 4 and 5 are tied together as well. I think maybe your missing the other half of the plug that ran back to the soleniod. Is it heading that way? Again, check voltage there while running. Another thing, check for continuity between 4 and 5

    70 hp rectifier wiring

    See what voltage your getting there.

    70 hp rectifier wiring

    I believe the red wire comes from the starter solenoid....that is the return path to charge your battery. Is there a red wire coming from the battery side of the solenoid? Rectifier converts ac power to DC power.

    Lower Unit Oil Leak

    The milk should have separated if it sat awhile. Did plain water come out first? Id pressure test, fix or not depending on test and run it.

    70 hp rectifier wiring

    Should just be 3 wires off the rectifier....one yellow one goes from the yellow off the rectifier to yellow under the flywheel, and one yellow/gray stripe to the yellow gray stripe....and red to red. Pretty sure that's right. Can you still read the color codes of the wires?

    Running engine on Trailer.

    I believe it's best not to run the motor unless on muffs or in a barrel. The impeller will not allow water to go through it backwards.

    1976 Mercury 1150 Yellow Fluid Leak (Steering?)

    Well one things for sure, I'm pretty sure you won't be running out of things to do soon! Glad the steering worked out. Grease it often.

    1976 Mercury 1150 Yellow Fluid Leak (Steering?)

    Yes the tube is usually the issue and hard to change. I've used a brake cylinder hone before.

    1976 Mercury 1150 Yellow Fluid Leak (Steering?)

    Your lucky. Clean up everything.....both tube and cable. Hand file wrench marks. Wipe on marine grease and re-install. Motor should now steer.

    1976 Mercury 1150 Yellow Fluid Leak (Steering?)

    Good, now turn the helm and see if it still moves out of the motor....if so you can clean everything up and still use it. The cable can be stuck inside the sheath and then it's no good. Glad you got it out.

    1976 Mercury 1150 Yellow Fluid Leak (Steering?)

    Have you got it to move at all? Either way?

    1976 Mercury 1150 Yellow Fluid Leak (Steering?)

    The marks are a concern!!! That cable has to come out. It has to go all the way through the tube. That is a precision fit so those marks will not let it go through. Also, I said slide hammer, not air hammer. Here is what your two options are now. Get it going back and forth some how until it...

    Here is a video of another way....by the way some times you have to move the outboard over to have enough clearance to pull it out.

    1976 Mercury 1150 Yellow Fluid Leak (Steering?)

    Because it's stuck you have to get it back in the way it was. The winch system will not do it. Do you have a slide hammer or know what one is? Do you see the wrench marks in the inside cable piece?

    I also see someone has gnarled up the cable with some vise grips or channel locks. Once you get it back in then you will need to grind those flush again.

    1976 Mercury 1150 Yellow Fluid Leak (Steering?)

    Hard to understand your descriptions. Looks to me like your trying to remove your steering cable from the tilt tube. If you pounded it in without any lube or if it just stopped going you need to apply lube to the other side and try to put it back in. I have used a slide hammer to pull it back...
