do I need to remove the motor from the boat to replace the tilt trim motor? I have been messing with it and it seems the transom brackets need to be opened up in order to remove the tilt trim unit..
Thanks
I have a 24' wa robalo with twin 150 yamahas.When I get around 3500 rpms the boat will start to list to the starboard side.. I had hydra foils on and took them off it seems about the same.. The skegs are not bent or chipped.. One thing I did notice is the gaps between the transom brackets of the...
I was in home depot this week and I was looking for the wd40.. I found the wd but I was very surprised to see they carry outboard oil. I was most surprised of the price $12 per gallon. Has anyone used this stuff? I pay double for the oil I run. That makes me think maybe this oil is crap.. It...
I am looking for a bettery charger I can use while offshore. The only chargers I see are the kind that plug in the wall. Are there any that can run off a 12 volt battery and charge that same battery.. I carry a third battery when offshore but when night fishing with the family I run...
I have a 95 150 black max. I am doing an impeller change and new housing. When I installed the housing there is a rubber washer about 1/4" thick and fits tight on the shaft.. My question is on the prior housing installs the previous person slid the washer on top of the housing. I cant find a...
I am looking to replace the flaps on my scuppers.. I found replacements with the plastic cover and flap but I could not find just the rubber flaps. I am not sure if anyone sells just the flaps, If anyone knows of a place let me know..

I just hooked up an automatic on/off switch for my livewell..You can adjust from 1 minute on 3 minutes off all the way upto 1 minute on 6 minutes off..To me 1 minute on 3 minutes off sounds like a long time for it to be off but that is the least off time the switch has..I was just wondering what...
I was at a local marine parts store and I saw a washdown kit(coiled hose and handle) that is in a round case that mounts in the floor.. The only washdown kits I can find are with pumps..Does anyone know where I can find one online... It was $90 at the store I was thinking I could find it cheaper...
I just bought a 95 robalo 2440 with twin 150's.. Boat has been sitting a couple of years so motors need work before I can run them..Problem is the boat is on a lift on the ICW. Sea tow says I am not covered because I can not switch membership to a non running boat. I have a 10' jon boat with a...
twin 94 johnson 225 ocean runner. compression is 92-100 on all 12.. Lowest readings are bottom left ..I am selling the motors and I have had 2 people say it was too low.. I always thought even compression... I did not think 92-100 was too low. Maybe 75-80..I would like to hear any input....
thanks
The exterior tank only runs when I hit manual switch. I drained oil level 1 1/2 inch below low level line but tank does not kick on. I checked the wires coming from the motor. 1 is hot and the ground does not ground unless I hit switch. Seems like instead of sending power to fill, it will...
one gauge has a blinking arrow while the other tach has steady arrow. What is the difference? I looked through manuals and could not find out why 1 arrow would blink and 1 would not blink. These are the older tachs with no buttons on front and only 2 switches on back..
Thanks
This is the first small motor that I have owned..All my larger motors(150hp and up)when running would pee cool to warm but my 02 15hp merc pees pretty hot. I changed the impeller and lu lube when I first bought it. I just dont know if these smaller motors pee hotter than others..Also when at...
