    Quicksilver prop query

    Hi. As far as I know, that’s the old quicksilver laser 2 for the smaller gearcase. Usually around 75-125hp 2 strokes in general terms. Don’t quote me, but it should fit…but my word of caution around it being a 20”…might be to make sure it’s going to be ok for you. Unless you have a fairly light...

    Power Trim Control Panel

    Hi. Not sure if you’ve said or it’s been explained before…maybe I might have a little. But on that control…the trim up button is a 2 stage button. If you press in normally with a thumb gentle depression…the trim will come up to its max trim position. If you press in and press further with more...

    Aq271 Sender Resistances

    I think without also saying in what state they are in, along with a reading…it’s a little more difficult to say… But as said…usually us is high resistance to low and eu is the opposite. More usually wondered with reference to fuel sender and gauges perhaps. If you have a us made boat and in the...

    fuel leak

    Yeah. If it’s anything like mine, there are 4 areas to look for the culprit. The inlet to the engine itself, the inlet to the in line filter, the outlet from that filter and likely hidden from view is the inlet to the vst or FSM has the same fitting too. There was a noticeable difference in the...

    2007 Mercury 90ELPT 4S cuts off shifting into Neutral

    Yeah. Check is it’s got a shift switch under the linkage at the engine. They are known to need adjustment certainly on the later models. Check the cables haven’t become too tight too.

    control cables

    Yeah. Think you’d have to do as much in any case really. But if you need the details from the cable, you should be able to see them running towards the engine area if you stick your head in there.

    fuel leak

    His may be the older generation with the actual vst and not the FSM like the later ones perhaps…but the only way fuel or anything else (like air) can escape is from depressing the shrader valve on the fuel rail…or through the injectors…on the newer fsm at least…and as far as I know. The poster...

    fuel leak

    If it’s anything like my 2016 merc…it’s a sealed system. As far as the fsm vst goes. Should leak. Perhaps yours is different? I’d be checking more around the fuel fitting to the engine and to and from the inline filter under there too. If you have the quick connect red tab to release fittings...

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Looks lovely there. Love the smart craft vessel view twin engine display too.

    Can you help me check if the water cooling the engine running right?

    Almost sure it’s a mariner Yamaha 9.9-15hp. Just with the shape of the hood and the hood release lever too.

    Running engine on Trailer.

    No. You can’t. You’ll burn up the impeller if it’s the function I’m assuming it is. On my outboard the flushing port is for attaching a hose to when not running (or can’t) to flush it, just with the positive pressure of the water hose. If you want to run the engine to flush…you need to use the...

    Power Trim Control Panel

    That’s newer than original if original is 88. That’s the same Control as my 2003 mercruiser has. You toggle the up button for trim and hole in further to go into trailer mode. Two stage switch. Often further down the wiring on those there may be an additional tie in wiring from a transom mounted...

    Power Trim Control Panel

    Hi. Not sure what the first picture and the tilt toggle there is at all. Certainly not the norm for the trim I’d think. But the second picture is of the old mercruiser trim control found in the 70’s mostly. The top button trims up to the extreme of the trim movement. The middle button and the...

    Can you help me check if the water cooling the engine running right?

    Hi. That central hole where some of the water is coming out is quite normal on start up and during thermostatic fluctuations. The other exit with the small stream of water is the tell tale indication. Looks ok to me but good idea to replace the impeller to be sure. I might also say that the...

    Speed Plateaus at 5200rpm

    Hi. Any pictures of the engine and it mounted on the boat? It may be poorly set up for height perhaps. Could also be to do with the propeller too. Some props just reach their limit of grip and won’t take too much trim at all. You may be over propped too perhaps. Why was the decision to put a 21”...
