    DT65CRLK - Water Alarm Help

    Trying to help trouble shoot my neighbors 1989 DT65. Previously it was getting a water alarm. We performed an engine descaling flush, as it has a new water pump and the alarm went away. We were just on a Canadian fishing trip and the engine started sounding the alarm at low idle ONLY. It...

    Fuel Additives & New Seafoam Marine Pro

    I have been a long time user of Seafoam in all my engines from weedwackers, outboards, cars/trucks etc.. For my outboard, I have always ran a "mixed drink cocktail" for my engine of 1 part Yamaha Ring Free, 1 Part Seafoam and 1 Part Stabil Marine. Never an issue, always performed but its a...

    Opinions & Feedback - Cross Brands Thread.....

    Sorry, I know this doesn't belong here, but the topic I think is brand agnostic and you guys have helped me so much over the years. This is posted in the Mercury form, but value your feedback in here as it is a cylinder issue, which can happen to any make and is most likely a ring job or...

    This post is solely tongue and cheek, but good lord, I am pretty sure this forum has steered my mind to never buy a boat with a Honda 225 on it. Every other post is about that outboard lol.

    Oil shooting out of dipstick

    First I am going to apologize for posting this in the Honda forum, but its been months and no help in the mercury forum. I know JMGO or CHAWK may have a pretty good idea. My hunting buddy has a Merc 25 HP 4 stroke, and was running it and lost top end RPM. No alarms, went back to the launch...

    Electrical Surge/issue Scenario

    Okay here is my elementary picture for everyone. The short section between the fuse panel and the perko leads from the battery is what is the issue. The battery leads appear to be 6 Gauge wire. Where the outboard and fuse panel leads connect, today they are all stacked on a bolt and wrapped...

    Electrical Surge/issue Scenario

    On my hunting boat, I have a 1998 Honda BF40 tiller. I have a Perko switch wired to a single battery, which is really just acting as a master shut off switch right now. From the Perko, it has a hot wire that powers an external fuse panel that has my lights, bildge, and graph connected to it...

    2008 F25ELHGAC - Symptom help

    All, I was running my outboard the other day and started losing RPM's. It was as if it went into a limp mode, however no alarms, oil pressure light was good etc. I could let it idle, then go to WOT and it would run as if it was going to WOT then drop RPM's and back into what seemed like a...

    Identification of parts purpose please

    Just got back from a Canadian fishing trip, while there I had an electrical short that arched on my hull. We smelled an Electrical burn but couldn’t find anything and the boat ran fine the rest of the week. Upon pulling it out I was tilting the engine up and noticed part 11...

    BF40 Lamp Indicator is dim

    I have owned a number of Honda outboards over the years. I have owned this BF40 for two years now and have rebuilt the outboard from top to bottom, but one thing always kind of bothers me. All my other Hondas, the Lamp Indicator for oil pressure has always been a bright green. On this BF40, it...
