    1998 Mariner problem

    My engine started acting up a few weeks back. I thought it was bad fuel from one of the gas stations from previous incidents. Anyway, that wasn't the case. Beginning of the day, the engine runs really good for about 5 miles, then it starts hesitating really bad and just looses power and then...

    90hp Mercury a little rough

    This has been something that has been bothering me for a while. When I first got my boat 2 years ago, the first time I took it out, it jumped up on plane faster than any boat I've ever been on. Then I had some carb issues, replaced the rectifier, stator, powerpack, replaced some cracked fuel...

    1999 Yamaha no power

    I've got a 1999 90hp Yamaha. The engine starts up fine and idles fine, but when put into gear it doesn't go any higher than 2600 rpm's. I've cleaned the carbs and replaced everything from the fuel tank to the engine. Could the problem be electrical?

    Fuel comes out of exhaust

    I've got a 2001 Mercury 90hp-3 cylinder on a very nice 17' Action-craft that was donated to our company. When I picked it up a month ago it ran very nice and very fast. Last week I received a maint. form saying that it was running rough. I checked it out and found out it would only start with...

    engine knocking and loosing power

    I just got a call from a friend of mine that is on the water. He's got a 1993 90-hp Mariner. As soon as he started the engine this morning, he noticed a knocking going on, the engine idled fine so he decided to go with it. After he left the no wake zone, he put it into full throttle and...

    soft spot on hull

    I've got a 17' 1979 Surecraft tri-hull. I crawled under the boat to check some trailer modifications I had done and I noticed a puddling of water in this one little spot. I went to touch it and the fiberglass flexed a little. The area is about the size of a BB pellet. What is my quickest and...

    Cables get hot

    I've got a Motorguide 36lbs. thrust 12volt trolling motor, and when I use it, the cables get pretty hot. It gets so hot that it melts the insulation on the ring terminals of the cable. It's the original cables and I haven't extended them, I've just shortened them a little to put new ring...

    Crossbar thoughts

    I'd like to think that I'm pretty knowledgeable when it comes to fixing trailers, but I need an opinion on something. I went to replace the springs, hubs, bearings all that stuff on my trailer this weekend. Upon further inspection, I saw something that I really didn't like. My crossbars will...

    prop nut locked tight

    Since I've owned my boat with a 1991 90hp Mercury on the back, I haven't taken off the prop for any reason. Well, on Sunday morning, killing some time before the kickoff, I figured I have a trip coming up so lets check the hub since I haven't done it yet. <br />This is where it all starts...

    Need some advice

    Some guy at my work was cleaning out his shed and came across a 9.8 Mercury that he had in storage and forgot everything about. Well, he brought it in to work and didn't want any part of it, he handed it over to me, I guess his boating days were over.<br />Anyway, it looked like it hadn't been...

    Yamaha trim/tilt problems

    I've got a 2001 150 HPDI yamaha engine that started giving me trim/tilt problems a few weeks ago. I was getting power to the relay box on both the green and blue wires. Continuous power to the relay fried my first trim relay. I traced it back to the keyswitch which broke around the same time...

    Mercury keeps bogging down

    I've got a 1991 80hp Merc. 3-cylinder that keeps bogging down. Does the ignition coil have a correlation with it bogging down? And how can I check it before buying new ones? I've replaced fuel tanks, fuel lines, fuel filters, primer bulb, stator, switchbox, voltage regulator and rectifier...
