    25hp 4 stroke bigfoot Mercury won't go into gear anymore

    I found this post and now it's doing the same thing again. I had been having trouble getting it started and had been pressing the middle button to get it out of gear so I could increase the gas. Got the starting problem fixed but shortly after that it started staying in forward gear. Like if I...

    25hp 4 stroke bigfoot Mercury won't go into gear anymore

    I had extreme luck as a relative of a neighbor, who knows a lot about various motors by being a farmer, was visiting him today. I can't describe it in the right technical terms but there was an arm that had come loose in the front of the motor around point A in the picture. He pulled a pin...

    25hp 4 stroke bigfoot Mercury won't go into gear anymore

    It was working OK but recently when I put it in neutral and turned the key off there was an extra sound like a metallic spinning for a few seconds. One day I tried putting it in reverse but it won't forward instead. Yesterday it wouldn't even go forward. I'm green on motor work but would like to...

    Advice directions needed to remove carburator 2004 bigfoot mercury 25hp 4 stroke

    I'm a real beginner when it comes to doing things on motors. Sometimes I've fixed things though when I had a good video showing what to do. I bought a rebuilt carb for this motor and would like to try to put it in. Really fed up with the local dealer who has a monopoly on boat motor repair...

    water not coming out of 2004 bigfoot mercury 25hp outboard

    I am trying to see if I can get the water to come out of the peehole. Last year it wouldn't come out and I knocked a Mud Daubers nest off the top (see photo) and the water started flowing again. I took weedeater string and cleaned out the peehole as far as I could go. Then down by the Fin...
