In order to adjust the trim on my new 4-stroke, the engine has to be turned off, and then put into forward gear and then the trim can be adjusted (Manually) and then restarted (Manually - Pull start).
It seems rediculous as a safety precaution but I am new to boating...
Is there a way to make...
I am new to boating and bought a new 2007 Mercury 4-stroke 8HP Outboard for my Jon Boat...Starts on the 1st or 2nd pull 99.999% of the time..
BUT - occasionally, on initial start up, if I pull the starter cord and the engine ALMOST starts but does not quite turn over, then it takes about 45...
