    Tell me something good. While in the process of servicing the lower unit I noticed a bit of milky appearance of the gear lube. Presure testing revealed a leak at the shift shaft bushing seal. I removed the bushing and O ring and seal and replaced them. Now comes my issue. The shift shaft would...

    T9.9 GELH Almost no compression. Need repair manual.

    I have recently aquired the above motor. It appears in great condition but the compression is around 50 pounds per cylinder. As I turn the flywheel I feel a bump I am not sure if it is a valve adjustment, timing belt issue or something deeper. I was looking for a used manual on an auction site...

    F9.9 CMH 2008 Yamaha Ticking noise.

    This occurred to me today. The bulb lit. I thought of something. Usually I assume the answer or look it up or ask in theses forums. As the motor warms up I get a ticking from what I have assumed was the valve lash or to do with the rocker assembly or at least valve related. I thought to take off...

    older Mercury 7.5HP 2 stroke 1977 and other years carburetor venturi question.

    Within the throat of some of the older Mercs is the plastic venturi part. Looks like a gun scope or something. I was wondering what effect they do have and what is the effect of leaving them out . They are a pain in the butt to install.Thank you in advance for your replies.

    Roller to bunk . Carpet needed or ?

    My trailer rollers are going bye bye. Salt water has taken its toll. I am pretty good about rinsing it but time and salt has taken its toll on the rollers and hardware. I am in San Diego, around here most trailers use bunks not rollers. The launch ramps are such that rollers are not necessary in...
