    Yamaha 300F Trim Making Noise

    Hello all, My 2016 yamaha 300f makes a squealing sound when I raise the motor while underway going over 1000-1500 rpm, no noise when it trim it up while at idle, neutral or when motor is off, no noise when I lower it, no visible leaks, rams are greases on top, zerks have been greased. I never...

    1990 90 HP Merc on 60's 17ft Whaler prop selection

    There is a stainless 13X19 prop that needs to be re-hubbed. I want to put an aluminum on it. What pitch should I go with given the aluminum will flex more. Boat is a fishing boat, no skiing or tubing so not really concerned with performance in that area.

    1990 90 HP Merc Fuel Issue?

    Posting for a buddy. : Problem started when he ran out one portable tank and switched to another. Engine would not go above slow idle without cutting out. He then dumped out in line external fuel pump and filled it with clean gas and it seemed to fix the problem for about 15 minutes. Next he...

    1972 25 hp Rude no top end power

    Compression 120 on both new fuel pump, new plugs, spark jumps a mile on tester. Has to be the carb right? Rebuilt year before last and it runs great at idle but weak top end and tons of unburnt fuel coming out of LU. In the past my carb problems equaled bad idle so I figured carbs are still good...

    198? 35 hp evinrude long shaft

    Looking at a 35 hp long shaft for sale with a 40 hp carb. Not sure why it is rigged that way. It seems like owner was trying to squeeze more out of it because it also has a dole fin attached. Will this affect low speed performance? I plan to check compression, gear oil etc. From what I have read...

    1969 25 hp sporster 1971 25 hp johnson powerhead swap?

    The Johnson has a bad power head the Evinrude has all bad motormounts. I pulled the powerhead off the Rude and plan to do the same with the Johnson and either put the good power head on the johnson or start harvesting parts from it. My issue is the cover styles are different and so are the...

    1972 6 hp Fisherman

    Cannot find where part # 25 main bearing dowel pin belongs. There is no hole for it to go into on the upper gear case or on the bearing. The one on the rear part is in place (furthest from the prop) but one ended up on my bench when I pulled out the prop shaft/ gear assembly. My manual tells me...

    1972 6 hp Fisherman

    Has a cracked gear where the rewind starter grabs the flywheel. I was able to tap/ pond the roll pin out and put replacement on but I am concerned about breaking something to pound it back in. Any tricks to this? I thought about running a drill bit through the hole to make it a touch bigger and...

    1969 25 hp Sportster dies after running WOT

    So I ran it with bad gas and then drained the carb and got her going again except after I run it WOT and then slow down to idle it dies. It will start back up when I pull out the choke and runs fine and it runs well at WOT but always seems to die when I slow down to idle speed. I have been using...

    2002 115 Hp FICHT tell tale

    Just had the water pump done and replaced thermostats. The motor runs great at all speeds and telltale is strong at all speeds. The only thing I noticed is that water continues to flow/drip out of the telltale for a few seconds after the motor is turned off. I did not used to do this. Should I...

    2002 115 Hp FICHT Milky Gear Oil

    So the gear oil was fine at the beginning of last season. I filled it and used new washers. Now it is milky. There is no evidence of a leak, I removed the prop and checked for fishing line. The water pump is about 5 years old but still pumps fine. I am planning to replace the pump, housing and...

    2002 115 Hp FICHT shifting issues

    The issues started when I could hear a faint clicking noise if I spun the prop by hand when it was in neutral. If I moved the shifter back in forth with the engine off and then put it back in neutral the prop would spin freely without any click. It seems to have gotten worse as it does not...

    XD-50 or XD-100 in my 2002 Ficht?

    I have used nothing but xd-50 but I have been reading that if I use xd-100 I will not need to decarb. Anyone have an opinion on this? I only use about two gallons a year.

Q #1 Has this ever happened to anyone else ? Q#2 A marine tech from a dealer told me...

    1976 25 hp Fireing on one cylinder

    Question: Can a clogged up carb cause the top cylinder not to fire? I got a big blue 1/2 inch spark on both cyliders and entirely new ignition as well as a new fuel pump, I switched coils and the problem stays on the top. Changed all ground wires etc. Compression is 125 on both. Carb was...

    1976 25 hp Points question

    Re: 1976 25 hp Points question Not sure what you mean, this could be my issue, ignorance, how do I align the the timing marks, I thought there was only one way the flywheel can go on and one way the armature plate can go on.
