    water stream on new Merc

    I just purchased a 2004 Merc 15hp that has never been used. A gentleman bought it back in 04 with good intentions but never even started it up. I put it in a barrel of water to fire it up and noticed a weak pee stream. It gets stronger when I give it a little throttle but very weak at idle. Is...

    no power in my merc model 110

    1966 merc 110 (9.8 hp) has no power when pushing a 12' v hull. When in the test tank it runs great and really kicks up the water when put in gear. But when in the lake behind the boat, it won't even make a wake. I recently took it apart to replace the dried out gaskets. I has good compression so...

    90 Mariner fuel problem

    I have been posting problems with my 1995 Mariner cutting out at WOT. I have inspected and replaced most of the fuel system to no avail. I did the Seafoam treatment and noticed the lower carb (3 carb motor) had fuel seeping out of it while the top 2 were sucking in air. Is this a float needle...

    1995 Mariner 90 loses power

    Last summer while cruising wide open on a lake, my Mariner all of a sudden lost power. I idled down for a few minutes then opened it up again. It ran fine for a while then bogged down again. Since then I cleaned the carbs, rebuilt the fuel pump, replaced the fuel line, checked the vent in the...

    losing power on acceleration

    I had trouble all summer with my 1995 Mariner 90 losing power at wot. I put in a new fuel pump kit, new carburator kit, and new plugs and still am having problems. Today I had problems again at wot. I did some trolling with no problems and then later opened up the throttle and couldn't get no...

    cuts out at wot

    I have a 1995 Mariner 90 that just started losing power at wot. I rebuilt the fuel pump and now it starts much better (and stays running without choking the heck out of it)and it is MUCH better out of the hole. But it still wants to cut out at wot. I can run all day trolling and half throttle is...

    High Five interchangable?

    I have a high five ss prop I had on my 1995 90 Mariner which was on a 16' fishing boat. I am getting a 20' pontoon that has a 2002 Honda 90 4 stroke. Will that prop work on the Honda? If so, will it do me any good on a pontoon as far as performance?

    9.9 or 10 hp

    I have a 12' Starcraft with a 6 horse Evinrude. It gets me where I want to go but just not fast enough. I'd like to upgrade. My boat can handle up to 10 horse. What's the difference between 9.9 and 10 horse?

    Gear problems?

    I have a 90 hp Mariner serial # OG143399. I had some problems last summer with it popping into gear while I had it in neutral. Recently I changed out the impeller and fired it up but it stays in forward gear no matter where I put the shifter. (Before I took the lower unit off to change the...

    WATER NOT PUMPING

    I just put on a new water pump kit on my 1973 Evinrude 6 because the key on the impeller broke. (I found that I had a problem because obviously there was no water pumping and the engine was overheating). Now after a new impellor etc., the engine still gets hot. I also noticed no water spitting...

    1973 Evinrude gearcase removal on 6 hp

    How does the drive shaft come out of the powerhead when removing the gearcase? I want to replace my water pump impeller on my 73 Evinrude 6 and followed the repair manual to the letter. I got to the point of pulling the gearcase (lower unit) from the motor but it won't come out. I assume the end...
