    Merc 115 stalls. Fuel gauge reads empty, but is full.

    I am not an expert here or know your system, but usually an indication of 'empty' when you have the fuel in it, is a failed tank sender or connection issue. Fuel gauge reads whats in the tank and has no bearing on the line connected. Very strange that normal operation once the hose was replaced.

    '00 Mercury 90hp, 4-Stroke ---Surge at WOT?

    2000 Mercury 90hp, 4-Stroke. I've noticed a slight surge of hp when I start to back off from wot when operating this today. Also right around that wot, it seemed to be sensitive and shown moments of more power that came and went. Could this be my TPS failing? Is there a known test for the...

    Throttle control stiff

    Not a cable expert but have come across some that the first 3' is a non-marine grease used and starts to harden up. Gentle heat gun, I mean gentle!! Some penetrant spray...

    Yes, I do have 12.9v. at the red/yel wires from the plug to driver. Very strange thing, while checking this and plugging back in I heard the pumps run. hooked up water and it started up! I seem to be getting an intermitten fail though. It was just idling then quit. Bumped the key and a...

    04 Yamaha 225hp High pressure pump not turning on

    Thank you for the images. My book doesn't have that pic.. So, I'm assuming that the driver (which seems to be the brains of the fuel operation) can't be tested to see if that is the fault, is there a procedure? It's not a cheap part and just to be sure.

    04 Yamaha 225hp High pressure pump not turning on

    2004 F225 TURC 4-Stroke Outboard. I'm trying to figure out where my high pressure pump relay is on this motor and possible reasons to why I'm not getting fuel pressure on key switch. I have both new pumps both low and high replaced when I rebuilt the VST, replaced trigger, stator is within...

    115 TLRD (4-stroke, fuel injection): I am getting mixed kits and numbers when I'm searching for an OEM repair kit for my 115. Some say 'made in America', which is great, but I'd like OEM for the motor. Can someone assist in the kit # for this application? Is this correct--115225FS?

    Will OMC Engine/Drive Match Mercruiser- Plug & Play?

    Thanks for your help on this. I didn't know my about those drives or that there were hard to find parts. I think I'll save my $$ and focus on the Mako restoration I still have to finish! I get distracted sometimes..

    Will OMC Engine/Drive Match Mercruiser- Plug & Play?

    I appreciate your comment. I just heard back and a Mercruiser big block is coming out. In some of the pictures, I saw some crumbling wood in the ski compartment, and he said that the floor up front was a little soft. Too bad, the seats are in great shape! A "little soft" means lots of rot...

    Will OMC Engine/Drive Match Mercruiser- Plug & Play?

    Looking to purchase a 92' Sea Ray 24' bowrider, that does not have a motor & drive (not sure what came out). From what I've researched it may have had either brands.. The boat is in fantastic shape and looks really good. There is another Four Winns Sundowner locally that has the OMC Cobra...

    Yamaha Motor swap- Same linkage?

    I was wondering if the linkage on an 2004 90hp, and a 2011 115hp outboard has the same linkage? I want to upgrade the 90 to a 115. Assuming it is, but not sure.. Thanks.

    Sierra 3-Pole ignition switch -Help

    Purchased a switch for my 4-stroke electric start 40hp outboard. Fairly strait forward... It cranks, runs, but when I turn it off it does not kill! According to the pic do I have it connected correctly? Should the black w/yellow stripe go onto any other? Kinda stuck.. Thx 3

    08' Merc 90hp --Ditching The Oil pump/going mixed fuel..

    Sorry for the huge size, I can't seem to figure out correct sizing on this site. The prop size is a 17-pitch on a 17 Trophy, fiberglass CC. Looking at the piston it looks like it crumbled. Flaw in design? I put the spec pistons in Wiseco in. Looking at the pistons, could be an oil issue...
