    Need help with an ‘88 Mercury 9.9 two stroke. It is set up for remote throttle/ignition/etc. Everything worked fine using the rope start. Hooked up the controls and the motor wouldnt turn over. Figured out I forgot to connect the kill switch wires. Fixed it and it turned over nicely, but wouldnt...

    EXCESSIVE smoke…

    1988 Mercury 9.9hp two stroke. About 2 years ago it was great, had not started it since then until today. Was stored horizontally on the floor, carb side down, with no fuel in the bell. Prior to starting, I replaced the water pump, gear oil, spark plugs, fuel filter, thermostat, and filled up...

    1975 Mercury 500EL Lightning Energizer wiring…

    Ive checked the diagrams. I seem to have this right, but need an answer from someone more knowledgable than me. From the Mercontrol, I have Red, Black, Yellow, White, Salmon, Brown, Grey. Engine side, same colors. My question is about the white wire, specifically. CDI says it is not used on the...

    Evinrude 777171 white for Chrysler paint…

    Has anyone tried the evinrude/johnson white as a close enough match for the old Chrysler white? Specifically 1975 vintage. Its sort of a bright-ish cream white. I have used it on the powerhead and it is damn close, but close to the color of a dingey 50yo outboard…not necessarily how they came...

    Loctite 081 grade D substitute…

    I am completely rebuilding a 1975 90hp Chrysler outboard, model 907HB. Upper main bearing calls for Loctite D to be applied to the outer surface during install. Would like to know of alternatives. I can not find grade D, and the Harnon equivalent I can only find on one international Spanish...

    Ive searched and have found every answer I have tried, still stumped. 1986 Sport-Craft with a 4.3l Cobra I/O. Tilt/trim stopped working. Replaced all three solenoids (figure Id change the third just in case) and no change. Replaced the pump with brand new one, no change. Replaced connectors for...

    1977 Evinrude 75hp Tilt/Trim sending unit…

    Since it is there already, I want it working correctly. As of now, the gauge will jump around a bit when activated but generally needle pegs to the UP position and stays there when power is cut to the gauge. When power is restored, the needle goes in further past up til it can not go any...

    ‘76 90hp Head cover sealing…

    There is no gasket in the parts list for the head cover, only for the head to the block. I am replacing, and the one I had was sealed with some black RTV. Is that the correct process, or should I be looking for some unlisted gasket or? Check out the chewing on this cylinder head, its why Im...

    Stuck check valve…

    ‘76 90hp Chrysler outboard. Fuel pump check valves are stuck in their seat. Anyone have a good way to remove them without damaging the pump itself? These things are pretty well stuck in there, but there are not any outward signs of corrosion or gunk.

    2006 Johnson 9.9hp need help…

    J10EL4SD, four stroke. On the water, it starts, but stays around full throttle. The throttle lever is not stuck. If I rev it, there is just a sucking noise from the intake but no change in rpm. The motor also surges a bit intermittantly as it “idles” at near full throttle. This was an almost...

    I have a 1971 Glastron V-176 Swinger that I plan on converting to a center console for fishing. Would love to see pics of similarly styled tri-hull, 16’-18’, completed projects

    1976 Chrysler 90hp 907HB tilt/trim…

    I have a working tilt trim unit, but trying to piece together the additional components. I have already picked up a new old stock remote throttle lever with a 3 position switch, and have the correct two relays to make it all work. Aside from the wiring and battery connections, are there any...

    2006 Johnson 9.9 four stroke J10EL4SD…

    Picked one up used for $220. Runs, but is missing some pieces. I will be running a Trollmaster throttle and panther electro steer setup, so I will have no remote controls. Would like to know if I can simply wire in a push button start switch and disregard the remaining wires in the harness...

    1970s era Chrysler gauges…

    Anyone know of any non-traditional sellers for this style of gauge (photo attached)? I can find tilt/trim indicators, and an occasional fuel gauge, but nothing else. I have never even seen a tachometer, voltmeter, speedometer, or water pressure gauge.
