    Well I fixed my trim.

    So I finally fixed my trim system. I am now somewhat of a junior expert on the 80's Mercury trim system, and probably trim systems in general. Any questions? I am here to help. I managed to put a new two wire motor with assorted adapters included in the kit from Mallory. Including having to...

    Seriously Need an Answer ASAP on Trim pump

    OK gang I know someone knows the answer to this. I am replacing my trim motor on my '86 Merc 75 OB with a nice Mallory updated motor kit. Things were going well until the new motor base plate didn't line up with the old (seemingly fine) trim pump. The instructions tell you to remove the pump...

    Ever hear of or see a swim platform on a bass boat?

    I'd like to put a swim platform on my bass boat. Anyone ever see or hear of such a thing? I have seen the small platforms that are on the web but I have never seen one installed on a bass boat. It seems they are mostly made for outboard runabouts with higher transoms. My boat sits pretty low...

    Removing tilt pump

    So my trim motor is totally shot. I know this because I had it off the motor and man was it bad. So I need a new one. It's an 86 Merc75 with the Design I three ram, side fill trim/tilt system. The problem is, the most common replacement motor for me is from Arco and it has the pump part on...

    She worked great!

    Well we ran the boat yesterday after I had to replace the stator and trigger due to wire degradation and the switchbox because it seemed one of those components blew it enough to cause #3 to not fire. I changed the impeller on Sat and on Sunday we took her out. Holy cow it was awesome. My...

    HELP! No spark on one cylinder

    So I put in a new trigger because one of its wires was corroded at the trigger plate so no repair could be done. Got it back together with the new stator I put in last week. It didn't want to start right away but finally did. While I was trying to figure out why it wouldn't start up right...

    Taking the Bomber out Sat.

    So I just joined the forum and I was amazed to find a Bomber thread! Well I have a 1987 Bomber Promaster II. It is in pretty good shape. My wife's parents gave it to us last year. They had for a while just sitting uncovered at their house. It needed a good buffing, which I did. It turned...

    New stator installed

    I installed a new CDI stator in my 1986 Merc75 yesterday. It was pretty easy actually. I didn't remove the flywheel, I just marked it well and pulled the inner bolts out so I could remove the flexplate from the hub. It was really easy with my impact gun. Then the new stator went in and it...

    Do I really have to drain the L/U to change the impeller?

    I found a set of instructions through our forum here and he didn't ever mention draining the L/U before dropping it to replace the impeller. My repair manual says to drain it but I just replaced the lube in the L/U and ran it only one time in the water, because it seemed like the motor was...

    OK seriously about the flywheel

    Hi there. I have been lurking about and this is my first post. I have an '86 Merc75 that has a bad stator. Well the stator itself might be ok but the yellow wires coming from it are like completely gone. At least an inch of them disintegrated between the stator and the rectifier. These are...
