    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...

    Correct fuel pump kit?

    I have a 1999 40 hp, oil injected Johnson 2 stroke, Model J40PLEEA, serial # 0 04616714. I ordered a fuel pump kit from MarineEngine.com part number 4381616, which was the kit offered for this model motor. When I opened the kit, the instructions say it is for 1990 and newer 9.9 to 155 model...

    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...

    I was out on Long Island Sound yesterday right on the edge of the Race near a rip, drift fishing with my buddy. Right as we were about to drift into where the current starts making 2 foot waves I tried to start the motor and the stater spun but wouldn't engage the flywheel. It was hairy...

    Mercury 1990 starts easily, then stalls when I put the choke in...

    The motor starts easily but stalls after I put the choke in. I can keep it running if I rev it up quickly but it dies at idle. The motor gets run a few few times per year. I winterize it, make sure it has clean gas. I have not done anything maintenance wise for a few years. Recommendations?

    Mercury 1150 leaky carborator...

    I had cried uncle last year trying to tune up my 1972 Mercury 1150 and took it to a shop where I was slippery sloped into a $2000 repair bill (starting with a lower unit). Had I known it would have ended up being so much I would have looked for something else. One of the things they did was to...

    It took so long for my parts to come in and plus the cat knocked my neatly organized parts cups all over the place, that I don't remember what goes in the bottom of the middle and bottom float bowls. The top bowl has a stud that attaches to the choke linkage, but I don't remember and can't find...

    So when removing my carbs to clean them I noticed the timing belt was cracked in numerous places and ordered a new belt along with the carb parts. I got the flywheel off and the top of the distributor gear for the belt but I am unsure of the best way to get the belt off and then back on the...
