The problem is that the tag that shows my serial number is in very bad shape and I can't get a good read on the entire serial number. Here is what I can make out: DG---422. There are numbers between the DG and at...

    Lost water pressure

    Texasmark... Your assessment was correct. I disconnected the hose going from the tell-tale to the tee fitting that leads up to the psi gauge. I used weed eater string to make sure the hose was open from the tell-tale opening to the tee fitting. I then used the string to plunge from the tee into...

    Lost water pressure

    Thanks for the replies, guys. I know that I'm going to install a new impeller since it has been 3 or 4 years since it's been done. I'm just convinced that there is another problem since this literally happened overnight. I'll try what Texasmark said to do and go from there. I've pulled the boat...

    Mercury four stroke fine at full throttle....rough at low speed

    Hi guys, I have a 2001 Mercury four stroke, carbed outboard that is causing me some problems. As the title says, the motor is running just fine at full throttle but at the lower end of the throttle, it is running really rough. The motor feels as if it's missing until I get past 3/4 throttle and...

    Winterizing Question...

    Hi Guys, I have a Mercury, (re-branded Yamaha), 50 HP, 4 stroke, 4 cylinder outboard that is either a 1999 or 2000 model year. After reading the manual concerning the winterizing procedure I have a question. It says that I am supposed to pull the spark plugs and put a "small amount" of motor...

    Please help me identify the hose in attached photo.

    Hi Guys, I have a 1999 50ELPT4S Mercury Bigfoot with a mystery hose under the cowling. It attaches at the flywheel/timing belt cover on one end but the other end is just hanging loose in the bottom of the cowl. On another site someone said they thought that it was just a drain line for the...

    Requesting some advice on a 1999 Mercury four cycle, four cylinder, carbureted motor

    Hi guys, As the title suggests I have a 1999 Mercury carbureted, four stroke, four cylinder outboard motor. When I first got the motor it ran like a top. I could go from idle to WOT with very little hesitation and I had full confidence in the motor getting me back to the marina. Well starting...
