    2016 Merc/Tohatsu 9.9 water pump impeller issue

    Swapped the worn impeller for a new one and re-assemble the lower end of the engine. Started it and it was "peeing" a strong stream into the lake...however, another stream of water appeared. Just above the lower unit, on the front (boat) side of the drive shaft housing, right at the point where...

    How critical is operation near WOT for new 9.9 HP 2017 Pro-Kicker on a pontoon?

    Here's the situation...our lake has a 9.9 HP limit and a 24' length limit. No huge wakes, no waves, nothing to overcome but 300 acres of flat water and some wind. Here's the problem...just bought a brand new Lowe 22' pontoon from Cabela's. They have been supplying boats here for years. I...

    Weird happenings! 1965 Johnson 9.5 HP - Motor cover stalls engine.

    First of all, I know this motor was rebuilt by a guy that is truly trusted and works wonders on outboards. After seven years in the basement, this motor fired on the second pull. Now, having said that...with the motor cover off, it idles fine, it revs fine, reaches WOT fine, comes back down and...

    Question - Throttle cable attachment for 1965 9.5 hp Evinrude???

    Apparently, I am missing a connection link between the throttle cable (shown with only a bare-wire end) and the throttle lever on the motor. The outer sheath of the throttle cable can be fixed to the bracket on the motor, but I see no way to fix the cable to the lever. Can anyone refer me to...

    Merc 9.9 two-stroke; electric control cable pin question

    I have my motor off the pontoon boat and want to start it to see that all is well before re-installing. Since this motor is normally controlled from the key switch on my helm, I assume I will have to jump between a couple of the pins in my control wire connector to activate the circuit and allow...

    1995 Tracker/Mercury 9.9 2-stroke just stopped running well; help diagnosing, please.

    Put the boat in the water with new, clean fuel with proper mix. For years this motor has been flawless...never any problems. Just the routine PM and it ran all season. So, this year it ran fine for about an hour, then just sputtered and died. Here is what I have done, so far... Checked fuel...

    Nissan 3.5 hp 2 stroke spitting water from exhaust holes

    2003 3.5 hp 2 stroke engine. Just noticed today that while the engine is peeing at a reduced stream from the pump tube, there is actually water spraying out of the two exhaust holes in the shaft. Engine still runs fine, but may I assume there is a gasket amiss somewhere?
