    Prop Slippage

    1997 Mercury 9.9 HP fourstroke won't stay running

    I just acquired a 1997 Mercury Fourstroke Electric Start 9.9 HP outboard. I want to use it as a trolling motor on my 19' Lund Boat. Initially I tried to start it and it would not start at all. I cleaned the carb out as it had water in it somehow. It would start up and run for 5 seconds and then...

    Yamaha F100 High Altitude Operation

    I just bought a new to me 2000 Yamaha F100 four-stroke. I have never owned a four-stroke so I am wondering if I need to re-jet the carbs for high altitude. The lowest altitude I run the motor at is 3000 feet and the highest is at 8900 feet. With my 1994 Mercury 115 hp 2 stroke I noticed a...

    Honda 10 hp won't idle

    I just acquired a used Honda 10 hp 4 stroke motor. I have gone through the carburetor and it looks great. The motor has 105 psi compression on both cylinders and the spark appears to be strong on both cylinders. The motor will start and run just fine at a higher RPM range, but as soon as it...

    Suzuki DT85 Starting without controls

    I just acquired a Suzuki DT85 that looks very clean. I want to get it running and install it on my boat. I do not yet have controls for it. I want to start it without the controls so I can see if it runs before I fork out the money for a set of controls. Is it possible to start this engine...

    1991 Johnson 40 hp Cracked Gear Housing

    My 1991 Johnson has a cracked gear housing. I am pretty good at fixing things, I am wondering how challenging it is to replace the housing on this unit. I found a used housing on ebay for $50, or would i be better off just replacing the entire lower unit for $500 used? Unfortunately this one is...

    1993 Mercury 9.9 Electric Choke Assembly

    I am trying to fine tune my new to me Mercury 9.9 motor. It doesn't seem to want to start very easily when it is cold, but once it is started it runs great all day long and restarts just fine. It has that little blue diaphram which when you pull out the manual choke it pushed the button in...

    Leave the onboard Fuel Tank Empty or Full for the winter

    I have an 18 gallon built in fuel tank on my 17' Lund boat and I was wondering if it is better to drain the tank for the winter, fill it completely with fuel that is stabilized, or if it really matter on fuel level if the fuel in it is stabilized. I park my boat from October to April in a cold...

    Sorry it took so long, had to go fishing (in another boat) this weekend. Here are some pictures of the stuck pump. I have undone all the allen wrench heads around it and have put a bolt into the one good thread and tried pulling, but this baby seems to be solidly stuck. It looks clean so I don't...
