    2000 Mercury xr6 150 hp hesitation and stalling out on hole shot

    Just this year my Mercury xr6 150 hp has started to hesitate on the hole shot and will stall out during hole shot at times. The motor starts right up at the turn of the key and runs fantastic at WOT. Early this year things ran great, but then I was getting an erratic alarm, so I immediately...

    2000 mercury XR6 150 horse power. New lower unit!

    So I went to test drive this boat a couple weeks ago and all went great until we were loading the boat onto the trailer. To make a long story short, the guy throttled up to push the boat onto the trailer then slammed it in reverse which caused the throttle cable to kick out of place. When...

    1989 Johnson 150 hp cranking, but not starting

    Hey, I have a 1989 Johnson 150 hp that ran fantastic when I bought it a week ago. I've run it a couple of times with no problems, but then I had some trouble. A mechanic noticed that the VRO was leaking fuel, so I had him convert it to a regular fuel pump so I can just mix my oil in. After...
