    Shift Shaft problem

    1983 Mercury 25 ser # 6383290. Every time I think I have this motor figured out, something else pops up. I bought this motor for my dad. I see now why the guy got rid of it. The lower unit gear lube is being pumped out through the shift shaft area. I replaced the seals under the waterpump. When...

    Reverse lock ?

    1983 Merc 25 Ser# 6383290. I can't seem to see what locks the motor when in reverse. When I took the lower off to replace the impeller, it locked, but it doesn't now. Does somebody have a diagram of this so I can see whats up? PS, runs great other than this issue!

    Lowwer unit oil seal ?

    I have a 1983 Merc 25hp. I am changing the oil seals. How do they go in? I'm guessing spring down on the deeper one, spring up on the top. Am I right?

    1983 Merc 25 hp leaking oil from water pump

    I have some oil leaking from under the pump housing. No water at all in the oil though! I just bought the motor and put in a new impeller and noticed the oil. I drained the lower unit , no oil, and refilled it. I took it out for a test, ran sweet! I pulled the L/U just to check, more oil :mad...

    I think I may need some help!

    It all started with a 1966 Merc 850. The motor was a basket case. It now runs like a top(thanks in part to the help on this site!), but just hangs in the back of the garage until I find a boat to mount it on. Then came the 1973 Merc 1500. That motor really makes my little CV16 fun!!! Then along...

    Sheer pins?

    Hi guys. I just got a few more motors to play with. One is a 1971 Johnson 9.5 model# 9R-71R, and the other is a 1960 Evinrude 5.5 Fisherman. So far I've found all I needed here on Iboats, but I can't seem to find the sheer pins antwhere on the sight. I would go to my local dealer, but he has no...

    Pertronix ?

    My dad has a 1980 Mercruiser 228. At some point, somebody added the Pertronix unit to the boat. We've been having problems lately. After reading quite a few posts on here, I ended up finding that I think the unit is bad. With the key to the on position, I only get 3v at the coil, or the...

    Tilt trailer?

    I have a 1974 Glastron CV16 on a tilt trailer. I have never used the tilt feature as of yet. I am planning on going to visit my cousin where the only launch I know of is pretty flat and shallow, like only knee deep for 50-60 yards. I'll probably have to back in til the front tires are wet to...

    Running lights

    OK, on my dads boat, we run a 15hp trolling motor. We usually head out a few hours before sun up. He wants me to run the power for the running lights to the battery for the little motor instead of the main battery. He wants to be sure the main battery doesn't drain from the use. What I'm...

    Q-jet to Edelbrock ?'s

    When switching to an Edelbrock 1409 from a Quadrajet, will the old flame arrestor fit, or do I need to order a new one? I know I need to order the adapter/fuel line kit, but is there anything else I need to order while I'm at it? It'll be going on a 1981 Merc 228 if it matters. Any pointers...
