    Targa V18 Combo Fish Finder Cable Routing

    Ok I've routed and installed my share of transducers, but this Targa is giving me fits. Can't get the new transducer cable through the starboard gunnel. Has anyone experienced this? I'm about to start pulling starboard stern WOODWORK. TIA, SCOTT

    1992 Mercury 175 2 stroke hesitates at 3000 rpm.

    Any idea what could cause the motor to hesitate around 3000 rpm when throttle is advanced slowly? If I hammer down it responds nicely to 5000 rpm.

    1992 Mercury 175 Head Sensor Looks like PCV valve

    Thanks. I did some more research and found out helps with idling after warm up. The motor has been dying when warm and stalling when motor is pulled back in to neutral. Could this also cause a 3000 rpm hesitation when the throttle is increased slowly. If I slam the throttle to wide open it...

    Ok so I just got done replacing a blown head gasket on my 1992 Merc 175. Found a Heli coil repair in one of the threads so this head has been off before. After the task completed I found the vacuum valve with 1 vacuum line attached tucked up under the carbs on the starboard head. I did not...

    1988 Force 125 stripped head bolt

    So diagnosed my dying engine @ idle with the help of the furum.... Exhaust leaking and recirculating from a head bolt that came loose and got blown out. The bolt looked like it was either cross threaded or had something get tight last time the head went on and now the block needs to be...

    Having problems with my 125 at idle. It works fine until I put the cover on and then it dies. I had it out this evening with the intent to adjust the carbs because last time out it wouldn't idle for me. So I took the cover off and it idles fine. Tied to the dock it goes fwd and rev and back to...

    1988 Force 125 Wont Throttle up

    1988 Force 125 runs and idles fine. Last year this issue was intermittent and got worse as fall set in. Took it out Easter moning when I pull out of the marina and throttle up the motor RPMs come up a little but not much even if i pump the bulb. Fuel pump diaphram is good. Compression 120, 120...
