    1972 Mercury 1150 power tilt/trim

    I have that switch. The bottom switch lowers the motor but the other two are not doing anything right now.

    1972 Mercury 1150 power tilt/trim

    I haven't run this boat in a few years. It's always worked no problem. Today the power tilt/trim would go down but not up. I'm guessing there's a wiring issue. Any suggestions welcomed.

    Tree fell on my 1999 18' Alaskan

    We had a tornado and 5 big pines came down around my house. The house was not hit but it took out a brand new car and my beloved 18' Alaskan. The port gunnels are bent as Is the upper part of the side, and a locker was destroyed, but the water line hull looks ok. It also took out the axel...

    1999 40 hp Johnson fuel problem...

    I have a 1999 40 hp, oil injected 2 stroke, Model J40PLEEA, serial # 0 04616714. This is the oil injection motor. The motor starts easily and will idle at the start. It runs full out with no problem. I can get 25 mph in my Lund Alaskan SSV 18 with 4 adults in the boat. However, when I am...

    Correct fuel pump kit?

    1999 Johnson 40 fuel filter...

    I have a 1999 Johnson 40 hp 2 stroke, model J40PLEEA. I just picked up the boat with this motor at the end of last season and I haven't spent much time with it yet and am just getting into the service manual. It looks like I have a one piece "recreational" filter that just gets replaced when...

    Mercury 1150 attachment screws...

    My 1972 mercury 1150 is held on the boat by two bolts the twist by hand with metal discs that press into the transom, the kind of attachment you see on much smaller motors. Mine look very corroded. Can they be replaced, and what's the best way to do it?

    1972 Mercury 1150 starter frustration

    My motor was running beautifully today, went about 5 mile out of port to a favorite fishing spot, cut the engine and drifted a bit and then when I went to restart, the starter would spin but not engage. I got us home with the auxiliary and pulled the cover and frame pieces off to get to the...

    Which washers?

    I am replacing all the hardware on my trailer as it goes in salt water and some of the keel roller bolts appear to be disintegrating. I ordered 316 stainless steel for all the nuts, bolts, and washers (flat and lock), but I noticed that what I pulled off were these heavy pyramid washers. I...
