    Alpha 1 gen2

    Ok put oil in it and found it was leaking at the fitting on the cylinder. Tighten it and it stopped leaking and works all except the trim up. I jumped the red and blue wires and the unit went up. I think I need to check for power on the blue with the up button pressed and if there is power...

    Alpha 1 gen2

    My trim stopped working. It won’t raise up with the trim up or trailer button. You can hear the motor running. I can physically raise the unit up without disconnecting the hydraulic cylinders.

    1985 mercury 35 hp

    The motor runs great although I feel the throttle isn’t opening all the way. The main problem is getting it back to neutral when coming from drive. Sometimes it works and other times I have to shut off the engine shift it then restart it. Is this a cable problem or something internal.? I...

    1986 35 hp Mercury. Won’t shift

    I took my boat out of the lake last week. All was good until I parked in the driveway. Now it won’t shift out of gear. I think it’s stuck in forward. I disconnected the shift and throttle cables and it still is stuck in gear. I changed the gear oil and there was some metal on the drain screws...

    86 35hp outboard won’t go

    My outboard is running great but last time I was out it wouldn’t go to full throttle. My control was always a bit hard to move( I bought the boat this year) so I thought I would try and lube the cables. I did that at the control side and the motor side and they controller seemed to move easier...
