    'UPDATE' 7.5 Gamefisher grounding issue

    7.5 Gamefisher Mod# 217-585751 I've determined that something is grounding out the circuit. The green kill wire is always grounded. The coil tests OK but something is making a connection to ground that won't let the darn thing fire. Anyone ever run across this issue. I've enclosed a pic of the...

    '52 Johnson Seahorse fuel shut-off

    OK after trying to find a needle valve that works( I've been to plumbing supplies) I can only find a right angle. Does anyone know where I can get a straight valve? I believe its a 3/16 thread. Also I need one with a longer shaft to extend beyond the cowling.

    How many layers?

    OK after finding my transom was bad, I got further and further into my boat and discovered that everything made of wood was rotted. Its not a big boat (17') and I shouldn't have too much problem replacing everything. My question is, when I do the glass-work, whats standard for layers? How many...

    I'm tearing out all the wood in the rear compartment of my bass boat due to rot from POM, or lack of.

    '83 7.5 Gamefisher cooling question

    Ok, I've found my carb kit for this engine, but I have another question. I notice the motor is air cooled, but before I pull the lower unit, is there an impellor for the exhaust cooling? I didn't see one on the parts site and just wondered before I start tearing things down.

    Merc 850 shifting problem

    I have a '73 model 85 hp with a problem shifting into reverse. When I first got the outboard it had this problem, but I adjusted the linkage and it cleared up. Now it has started doing it again and will shift fine if I go out and run the engine for a few minutes, but will only ratchet when cold...
