    Smartcraft gauge questions

    I am looking to install a smartcraft gauge for my 2019 merc 150 4-stroke (serial # 2B602057) so that I can have access to all the cool information it provides on my motors functioning... I am thinking just the smartcraft RPM gauge...but I cannot seem to figure out what harness I will need to...

    Impeller replacement

    Separate the lower and try again. Once separated, you can make sure the lower is in gear, and that the shifter is in the gear to match. Then be careful when you put it back together to not bump anything that might knock the lower out of gear.

    '87 mercury outboard 115hp 6cyl

    You could try and get a new what? The wire you are talking about goes to the switch box. Why don't you just remove the eyelet that the wire was connected to from the switch box, strip back the covering of the red wire you have left, use a small piece of proper gauged wire and connect it to...

    '87 mercury outboard 115hp 6cyl

    If you remove or bypass the idle stabilizer, you are going to have to adjust the timing on the motor afterwards to get it to run right....Can I ask why you are so hell bent on removing it, rather than fixing it?

    '87 mercury outboard 115hp 6cyl

    Start with the basics...pull the spark plugs, check them, and see if you have good spark. As Racerone said, if its been sitting that long...you'll most likely need to take the carbs and give them a good cleaning and will definatley want to replace the water impeller. Check your other fuel...

    I would start with the basics of checking your compression and post those numbers here before you get too much into anything else...

    What year 15hp 2 stroke

    Add a "0" before the "C" if you want to look it up and find parts online. Looks like its a 1990 15hp from my quick searches.

    Serviced 25Hp Merc. won't start.

    Spark, compression, and fuel are all you need. If it was sitting for 1+ years, it may need a good carb cleaning if they was fuel left in the system when it was put away.

    Earmuffs & Peeing

    Could also be something as simple as bugs building a nest in the tell tale hole. You can try taking a piece of weed whacker string and fishing it up through the tell tale hole and see if it is blocked up.

    finding year of 25 HP Merc.

    There is typically a metal tag on the right side of the transom mount. That will have the serial number that you need to look up the year.

    bilge problem

    Does your bilge have a float switch that is connected to it? That would typically be wired right to the power source and not a switch. Could be an issue with the float.

    Fuel capacity

    If you cannot find a tag telling you the capacity, and really need to know...find the tank and measure it in inches. Take length X Width X depth and then divide by by 231 (the number of cubic inches in a gallon.) That should tell you the capacity.

    Is Focus Marine Outboard Ltd legitimate or a scam?

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say no. Their website shows it was created in 2023...which is never a good sign. More often than not, if you find a deal that seems too good to be true on a site like theirs...it probably is. Just my thoughts though...

    How does RV financing work?

    At least one slide out is a must! The additional room you get from slide outs is vital. 20' may be smaller than you will be happy with if you are staying in it for extended periods. I would say aim closer to the 26' side. Still small enough to pull around and move easily...but gives you...

    Prop not spinning

    When you put it into forward or reverse, can you spin the prop with your hand...or does the prop spin freely?
