    I'm IGNORANT about BRAVO One.. question?

    Guy brought me his boat to get it running for him. The outdrive has been dragged through dirt so not sure about this. I noticed there is no fin on the trim tab and the skeg is bent to the left (Port side) as if it might be there either for a purpose or happened when the lower unit was down and...

    1993 Yamaha TLRR carburetors? compatibility?

    My friends brought me their pontoon to tinker with. It has not been run in YEARS. The fuel system was completely skunked up. Looked like coffee grounds in the bowl of one and jelly with salt and pepper in the other. I did extreme cleaning... several times... new carb kits and all...

    2003 Honda bf90 won't idle

    The guy who had this boat didn't run it for 1 1/2 years. I took the carburetors off, cleaned all the trash, sprayed, dipped in cleaner for an hour, cleaned with pipe cleaners and wires, blew out with compressed air.. TWICE. New intake and carb gaskets. Not difficult to get started but will...

    1984 50 hp Evinrude, E50TLCRM new rebuild... no power.

    Big dummy me bought this pontoon off of craigslist. Beautiful paint job on motor makes it look brand new. Cranked up and ran great out of water. No real problem starting at first. Never would rev up. When checking throttle & timing adjustments I noticed idle screw all the way in and...

    1984 Yamaha 50 hp. 50 ETLN magneto base broke... HELP!

    This thing has two stickers on it for i.d. One says 50 ELTN which translates to a 1984 year model. The other sticker has 50 DETO and below that is another bunch of numbers 6HT L 411244.... the 50 DETO looks like a Suzuki number to me. I've got to find a flywheel and everything under...

    control box question (ground issue) 1972 Johnson 50 hp.

    After years of tinkering with this old motor from time to time I finally did the strangest thing... looked at the obvious... one of the first things I should have done in isolating a problem. It had weak spark and ran but terribly. It ran so no problem with kill switch I THOUGHT! When I...

    1972 Johnson 25 hp, elec start... back from the dead!

    I acquired this motor a couple of months ago, no fire, sat up a few years. To get it firing I replaced one coil and both condensers, cleaned and set the points.020. Without touching the carburetor it cranked and ran good out of the water. I put it on a small boat today and it did kind of okay...

    1971 Merc 110 (9.8 hp) won't hit a lick!!!!

    Generally, if it's got fire, gets gas and has compression I can make it run. I'm lost! I went out yesterday, pulled the rope a few times and it hit and sputtered. Since then I haven't been able to get even a pop out of it. I found bad gas, cleaned that out of tank and carb, cleaned plugs...

    1971 ??? Mercury 110, 9.8 hp.. not firing

    This thing is driving me nuts!!! I pulled the flywheel and it has 2 sets of points but I don't see a condenser! I got it to fire one time. I've looked for all the obvious things, broken wires, disconnected the kill switch, checked everything I know to check... not a newbie at this but every...

    Merc 140 binding when shifting in forward

    This boat goes into gear and shifts fine from sitting still position. When in forward shifting seems to be binding. I can put pressure on the contol and it will jump from forward to reverse or reverse to forward and is very difficult to get into neutral when under power at idle speed.

    Old merc 140 acts like it runs out of gas???

    I recently got another old bass boat with the Mercruiser 140 in it. The boat had been sitting up for a few years. It cranks pretty good, runs good out of water, bogs down on take off, runs great on the top end. After runninrg about 3 miles at 3/4 to full throttle it acts like it is running...

    470 retro to something else.....

    I've got an old boat that I simply like the design of. It's going to take some serious work but I'd like to get rid of the old 470 and put something else in there. Just wondering what problems I would encounter if I replaced it with something like a smaller 140 or bigger 350 chevy engine...

    Throttle Lock

    Anyone know where I can find a replacement part or how to fix the lock button or whatever you call this thing? It is out of a Quick Silver shift control on a boat, about 1986, with a Mercruiser Alpha one outdrive. I think it's a 4.3L V-6 chevy engine. I've searched the internet for...
