    Navigation Connection?

    Just remembered that on the transducer cable near the connector at the dash there should be a label with a part number on it. You could use that number to see what models use the same transducer.

    Navigation Connection?

    A lot of the Humminbird's look similar but some have different features. I don't know the differences.

    Navigation Connection?

    That's a Humminbird transducer and the connections on the dash are for a Humminbird. The two pin for power and the other for the transducer.

    old (unsure of year) Honda BF75 (7.5hp) outboard won't throttle in neutral or reverse

    The start position of the throttle lever should provide more rev's than the shift position. Check the Throttle Friction Knob at the end of the throttle lever. It may be too tight and stopping movement. If that's not the problem you will have to look and see what is causing the issue. I don't...

    old (unsure of year) Honda BF75 (7.5hp) outboard won't throttle in neutral or reverse

    When in Neutral or Reverse the throttle grip movement is restricted in how far it can move. When the throttle cable is adjusted properly the maximum rev's in Neutral are 5200 rpm and in Reverse 3200 rpm, depending on year.

    That looks like the standard points distributor with an electronic points eliminator.

    Proper info for timing a Merc 140

    For my 1974 which yours probably is it's 6 degrees BTDC at 650-700 rpm in gear. That's with points.

    Trust the dealer?

    A friend has a 16ft Lund SSV that weighs about 350 lbs with a 20hp honda. 2 of us in it is another 300, 2.5 gallons fuel and a 20 lb anchor so less than 400 total. We get about 22 mph.

    Merc 140 fuel pump install, no ros?

    If you're referring to the fuel pump that's the correct orientation for that type. There's another style where the filter faces down.

    Merc 140 fuel pump install, no ros?

    Yes, the vent line goes where that plug is on yours. Careful installing the hose barb as there is not much meat where the threads are.

    For the OP my 1974 mercruiser 140 with serial 3774544 has the vent line.

    Ford 302 petronix igniter 2 distributor

    I may not have explained it well. There won't be a mark on the cap. In theory #1 can be any terminal on the cap. The rotor doesn't have to point to the number one cylinder on the block, although it often does, just to the terminal on the distributor cap that has a plug wire going to the number...

    Lost Keys for Older Boat

    For that era I think there's only a small number of keys that they used. A lot of merc dealers will have a ring with a bunch of keys on it that you can use to match it up. It will require you taking the boat or control to them or the ring of keys to the boat.

    Ford 302 petronix igniter 2 distributor

    Put the cap on the distributor. Use a felt marker to put a mark on the distributor body that aligns with the distributor post for the #1 plug. Remove the distributor cap. Align the rotor with the mark on the distributor body. That should get you in the ball park.

    2022 Tohatsu 15hp Gear Oil Level

    Insert the wire down an inch. I use a very small white zip tie. Basically you want the oil level to be close to the height of the vent plug.

    Old Honda 7.5HP (BF75) fuel line - buy NoS or replace connector?

    Don't know what era yours is but on my 1980's 7.5's the orientation is opposite to yours. The pointed guide/locking pin is at the top on mine. I don't have access to them right now so I can't measure. I know on models newer than mine they changed the connector so it's not possible to try and...

    Can you logon to your email providers webmail interface? If so, you might try and create a rule there to stop them.
