    1994 Force 40hp water jack nylon plug

    Ok, kind of a unique situation and trying to remedy what I have done so far. The nylon plug on top of the water jacket was broke and pretty much flat. I wanted it out so I drilled an appropriate size hole right in the middle after tapping and was going to use a screw extractor to get it out...

    Quicksilver 3000 Controls help

    Also, it looks like that switch would get its "hot" 12v from inside the cowl...right? Can I hook the outboard up to the battery and when I press up or down, one of the leads inside there should show 12v right? and then go away when its in the middle position?

    Quicksilver 3000 Controls help

    Im just hoping they in reality run from the control all the way back there...then it will be easy to hook up the rest of the system. Can pickup power from starter solenoid block.

    Quicksilver 3000 Controls help

    Just bought a boat and the tilt and trim was wired to the dash on a rocker switch...straight to the pump motor. I know this isnt right. My controls (quicksilver 3000) has a tilt and trim switch in the throttle handle, like most. Also coming out of my harness under the cowl, there is the blue and...

    1994 40hp Mercury

    Someone wired the trim motor directly to a switch. I want to rewire it correctly. It has nothing inside the cowl for tilt and trim. Is this something I can wire in the battery compartment? And can someone help me on how to do this? I know I’ll need a breaker and two relays. Any and all help...

    1994 Force (Mercury) 40hp

    From what it looks like, there are two wires tied to battery that head to console to the switch and then from there back straight to the trim motor. I don’t see any breakers or relays. And the green and blue wires inside the cowl they come from the harness, are connected to nothing.

    1994 Force (Mercury) 40hp

    I’ll take some tomorrow. I’m afraid they wired the switch straight to battery and straight to motor…which in theory wouldn’t last long. I’ll take some tomorrow, but I don’t think there is any relays in there. If I have to rewire from scratch, what will I have to do to add relays?

    1994 Force (Mercury) 40hp

    This is maybe aftermarket wiring. There is nothing trim related under the cowl. The switch sends wires to back of boat straight to motor. Im assuming and hoping there is some relays somewhere. Need to investigate further.

    1994 Force (Mercury) 40hp

    Just bought a boat and it has 94 force by mercury on it. The only trim that works is a rocker switch on the dash. The throttle handle has a switch but doesn’t do anything. What would I need to check to get that working? Also there are the two green and blue wires inside the cowl that aren’t...

    Lower unit apart (motorguide fw-fb 46lb)

    speeds 1-3 were the same, speed 4 was nothing, and speed 5 was wide open. I was told to take the head apart and provide the three different color wires with 12v to see if you get a speed change to test the speed coils... Well, first off I took the two bolts out, and the cap of the lower unit...

    wire on/off switches with that are led lighted

    I just got a boat that has a switch panel on the back. It has 3 rocker switches (just two positions...on and off), but it has three prongs on the back. The middle prong on all three switches are piggy backed with a blue wire...Does this just supply the led with power? And does this led on...

    johnson 25hp missing engine male fuel connector

    I just got a 25hp Johnson motor...its a 2002 I believe. Anyways, the male connector that is typically attached to the engine is missing. Its just a fuel line sticking out with a fuel filter. I was just wondering if the two prong male connector is necessary.....or can I just run a fuel hose...

    Reverse lock on 2002 Johnson 25hp gone

    I just bought this motor and the assembly and linkage is gone. It does have the bottom piece that locks on the trim bar. But I do not have an option to easily unlock the motor to raise up, or run it in shallow mode where it would kick up if it hit a stump or something. Can I rig a pull rope...

    lower unit oil question / problem

    motor is a 1992 Johnson 25hp before the winter I installed a complete lower unit seal kit because it was leaking out around the prop. So I bought the kit and installed the whole thing, obviously including the two back to back seals by the prop. Well my motor has been sitting in the upright...

    1992 Johnson 25hp

    I am trying to explore the culprit of my oil leak around the prop. Its not unburned gas mix, I can tell by the color and the smell. I resealed the lower unit completely two years ago when I first got the motor because it leaked around the prop. In that process it was evident it was the large...
