    290sp square trim gauge issues

    Haha. I get you. The 850 T5R wasn’t half a bad machine. The cops here used them all tricked out with remaps and goodies

    Adapting a Similar Size Carb - 1985 Mercury 110 7.5hp

    Hi think your engine might actually be a 1982. Anyway…you should be able to strip down the carb and clean it well, without absolutely needing a gasket kit. Unless you find anything perished beyond service.

    Quicksilver prop query

    As far as I know, it will fit with the right hub kit…but just need to know if it’s pitch is going to be ok for you. What boat you have it in on and what pitch you running now ?

    Keen to hear from mercury 75-115 efi owners, 2015-present 2.1l models !

    Fair point. Keen to hear any and all things…good or bad.

    290sp square trim gauge issues

    I had an old xc90 for a while. Legend has it that in the 12 or something years that particular first type model was around…not one single direct fatality occurred whilst within one. If that’s true…there likely isn’t anything else that can get close to that statistic?

    Keen to hear from mercury 75-115 efi owners, 2015-present 2.1l models !

    Hi I’d love to hear from owners/anyone with any valid views, experiences, issues or otherwise with reference to the 2.1l 4 cylinder 75-115 mercs. I’ve had one for 3 years now. Put over 1300 hours on her so far. Few wee findings over this time and a wee niggle to sort over winter …but generally...

    Lower Unit Oil Leak

    I wasn’t going to comment and keep my mouth shut…but I can’t quite make out the hole you mean there. Looks like damage to the casing to me. Eyes aren’t what they were these days though. Anyway…a much simpler way to see what’s what is by the colour and form of the oil you’re seeing. If it’s...

    I’ve got a possible answer why…😂

    Opinion on this motor operation

    You’ll never know until it’s under load on the back of something that floats, to be fair. I’ve made the mistake of not properly cleaning carbs and hoping for the best on a day out…lesson learned the hard way a few times 😂

    Who didn't winterize??

    Funnily enough…it’s been into double figures here last few days too. Crazy. Raining and all back to normal ! You had me questioning if I was missing a decimal place for a second there. Then I remembered I tried a master reset on it recently. That out all units into the US format. It read 170 odd...

    Who didn't winterize??

    Temperature inside my boat late afternoon a few days ago. Got colder overnight for sure. Sea water temperature perhaps a little more optimistic! Think the sensor must be broken. Just started to show that temp all the time now. Must look into that.

    290sp square trim gauge issues

    Sure you’ve checked, but thought I’d ask if the sender cog still has all its teeth present and none missing ?

    Old yamaha mariner 40 hp to 50hp conversion

    Not totally sure, but it’s in my head that the late 70’s 40hp may be a different engine to the slightly higher hp models next to come after. The 55 and 60 were the same basic engine though. Could be wrong.

    Hi. Did you calibrate the new potentiometer when you replaced it ? There is a fairly easy procedure to follow as per below

    40 HP Mariner Steering bracket

    I’d just get a used one. Can find them commonly online. I’d also use the steering tube too, if you wanted a proper job

    Who didn't winterize??

    Been a strange one here in Scotland. We’ve had fairly mild winters and when it does come, only been a few days of any cold that might concern. That’s been usually about end of January and into march for about the last 10 years or more. This year for the first time in a long time…we’ve had...

    Who didn't winterize??

    Worse than that heard here is “it will be fine…I have heaters plugged into the marina shore power”… Problem is that so does everyone else. That caused the power to trip a few years ago…can imagine the horrors that followed. We just had nearly 2 weeks of sustained minus conditions. About -7/8 oC...

    Fuel Leak

    Hi. Is it leaking all the time or is it perhaps leaking and venting because someone has fitted a primer bulb in the fuel line and you might be pumping it before starting? Generally shouldn’t be a primer fitted on newer efi engines. Or if there is one from a previous older engine…it shouldn’t be...
