Can do my own work. Not a lot of experience with boat motors, but have experience with automotive motors.. Will leave on boat. Not sure about local shops that would work on each brand.
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this post. I am looking to purchase an outboard for my 14 x 36. John boat don’t have a lot of knowledge on outboard brands. The following is what I’m looking at for possible purchase. Which outboard would you recommend and why?
1.2007 Mercury 9.9hp 4 stroke
2...
Took the boat out today. It seems to be a fuel/fuel delivery issue. At full throttle I achieved a whopping 4mph. When I would mist starter fluid in front of carb I achieved 13-14 mph. Now I have to determine if it is a fuel pump carb or vacuum issue..
Have a 1977 Mercury 9.8 that runs great in a drum of water. Get it out in open water and rpms will not increase and bogs down. I have gone through the carb, fuel pump and all new few lines. I am scratching my head. Any info will help.
