    Timing question 70 hp

    Over the past 45 yrs, I keeps seeing many people thinking that these 2 stroke outboards, are set up and tuned like their older cars. Case in point is setting of the Idle Speed.

    1976 Mercury 1150 Yellow Fluid Leak (Steering?)

    Welcome to iboats How long have you owned this Motor? There is no Power Steering on this Motor. The Steering is entirely Mechanical, and if it isn't working, it means, somewhere Corrosion, due to lack of Lubricating, has caused the Seizure. The Yellow Liquid... The only fluids found on/in the...

    Steering Wheel for Tiller Boat?

Even was able to a Deep Water Start on one Ski behind it, 3 times. The goofy Ventilation Plate Breakers were...
