    Mercury/Tohatsu 20HP EFI Power Loss (Low Pressure Fuel Pump?)

    Thanks. Would this leak be visible? Everything looks dry. Where is this O-ring on a hose (ends?)? Do you mean the primer bulb or the hose after the bulb that leads to the fuel/water separator?

    Mercury/Tohatsu 20HP EFI Power Loss (Low Pressure Fuel Pump?)

    I have a 20 HP Mercury EFI (it's a Tohatsu) that looses power at high RPM. It started intermittently, initially only struggling after running full RPM and heat soaking the engine, and would recover. Now (after a year of this), it's happening all the time. At full RPM, it bogs down (revs down...

    2022 Mercury 20 HP EFI outboard intermittent power loss (maybe after insulating cover)?

    At this point, I changed plugs, coil, TMAP sensor, same issue. Seems to be getting more frequent. Anybody else ran into this?

    2022 Mercury 20 HP EFI outboard intermittent power loss (maybe after insulating cover)?

    Update: I removed the insulation and problem remains. Engine ran fine for over an hour at WOT, then stopped for 30 minutes (at this point I assume the heat built up), and upon start and WOT, it had the same power loss for a few minutes until it recovered (again assuming because of the great...

    2022 Mercucy 20 HP EFI outboard Engine Guardian "beep" on shutdown (nothing in manual)?

    I have an intermittent power issue with 2022 Mercury 20 HP EFI (post), but also noticed a beep from the "Engine Guardian System" when turning off the engine. I know there are different beeps for indicating conditions (including the beep on start), but I hear a beep when I turn the ignition off...

    2022 Mercury 20 HP EFI outboard intermittent power loss (maybe after insulating cover)?

    I have a Mercury 20 HP EFI to which I decided to add some automotive sound deadening insulation (4-5mm thick) on the inside of the top cover. After this installation, the engine stumbles and loses power when running for about 30-45 minutes at higher settings (e.g. 4500+ RPM). If I let the engine...

    ECU Swap on Mercury 9.9 EFI ProKicker to 15?

    So I bought a small pontoon with a 9.9 EFI ProKicker because I was going to use it on a 10 HP limited lake (trailering). Instead, I ended up on a 20 HP limited lake (wet slip), and wish I had a bit more power. The 9.9 and 15 EFI seem identical, except for, I assume the ECU. How hard would it be...

    ECU for ProKicker 9.9 to 20 HP?

    CORRECTION: 15 not 20 I see vague mentions that converting a Mercury 9.9 EFI ProKicker to 15 (most recent model years, 2021/2022) may be possible by swapping the engine computer? Is this true? If so, can someone point to part numbers? Has anyone successfully done this?
