    Replacing Trim Switch

    Is that called a "concealed" remote? There's a replacement handle on eBay that looks like it might work. Many of these remote controls for various brands appear similar. I'm not recommending this--Do your homework! Item # 204145804101 Personally when mine quit and I couldn't find a...

    9.9 1974 Johnson Heavy Black On Plug

    I'm not sure there ever was a better motor than the E/J 9.9/15 hp.

    1999 Johnson 40hp running erratic above idle

    When you say it "runs like it is hitting a rev limiter" you mean it's revving up & bouncing off the limiter? Well if it's not making the boat lurch then I'm thinking it's your prop isolator.

    Mercury mariner 110 9.8 hp won’t start

    You didn't mention the points. Points and condenser are often the cause of intermittent no-spark.

    Hard Jolt, now won’t start. 94 40hp Johnson

    I'm unclear... Are you saying you were on the road & stopped fast, or you were power-loading the boat on the trailer & came in too hot?

    Japan made Mariner Engine

    My hunting had turned up the Yamaha 5BS. Air-cooled. Visually identical except for decals. Most of the usual online parts suppliers don't show any Yamaha 5hp earlier than 1983. Must be not listed since they weren't distributed to the USA. There's some YouTube posts for the 5BS from around the...

    Japan made Mariner Engine

    I don't know how equivalent that is since the parts diagram for the Yam 5SK shows it's water-cooled, with an impeller and the Mariner 5M is air-cooled and has no impeller in the leg. Like I said--it can be a challenge.

    Should look just like this.

    Japan made Mariner Engine

    6E3 also means it's a 5hp. 142346 puts it in 1985 production. It can be challenging finding correct part numbers for this motor since it's made by Yamaha--but it's a model Yamaha didn't sell in the USA.

    9.5 Evinrude armature frozen.

    I used marine grease. I was seeing replacement kill buttons prices at $100. Sorry but that's ridiculous for a pushbutton and I'm not a slave to oem-parts-only. I found this on Amazon. It's the right size for the hole and tall enough for the plunger to clear the recess that surrounds it. ZOOKOTO...

    Mice got in the motor

    OMG I've seen that damage plenty when looking for parts for antique cars. Your mice just accelerated the corrosion. I don't think there's anything you can do other than take everything completely apart and blast it (walnut? soda?) to bare aluminum. Then you're faced with restoring the original...

    Mice got in the motor

    I feel your pain. I've found the same after winter storage--but only a single winter. I can't imagine how much worse it would be after 12 years. Actually I can, sort of. Several years ago I sold a 69 firebird. The original (rare) engine was on a covered pallet at the back of my property for...
