The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I am having a hard time adjusting my idle/mixture screws, when I first opened motor (82 merc blackmax 150) up all the carb screws were seated tight. I opened them up 1 1/2 turns per another thread advice. This was too much so set them back 1/8 turn at a time til it sounded good. At this point I...
OK I have an 82 merc black max 150 v6; finally after a long grueling year she's alive and running pretty well, the motor is on a 900lbs 78 glastron ski boat. Today I had the boat running about 45 mph after about half hour of playing with throttle and warming motor up at about 5-10 mph. Everytime...
I have an 82-84 150 black max; recently got the motor running and once I put it on the water the motor boggs down when accelerating over 5 mph. I've cleaned the carbs twice and I've been told to adjust the fuel/air mixture. But before I do that I want to make sure this is the issue. In the water...
I have a glastron ssv-178 that the trailer axle has some issues on. lot of people that will rebuild one for me ask for the weight limit required but I have no clue how heavy my boat is. sn is gla86129m78e. thanks in advance for any info or a point in the right direction.
OK from scratch: I have a 150 Merc Black Max (82-84) SN 6009047 that came with the arm on the transom with two hydraulic lines coming up over the top of transom (SN 79610A1); I recently bought a trim pump (SN 88183A11) and the wiring colors do not match up. From the trim pump I have a Positive...
i just bought a used tilt/trim pump for my project boat. the wiring does not match up on colors so i'm kinda stuck. coming from the pump I have a thin light blue line, a thicker green wire, and a thick red wire. also a thin purple wire that doesn't connect to the pump. now on the motor side at...
Attached are photos of the tilt trim parts attached at motor. Can anyone tell me what parts (part numbers) I need to complete this setup? The resovoir and motor I believe but unsure which one will work with what setup I have. In case the photos of the serial number is hard to read it is as...
I've rebuilt a 135 merc blackmax that came with the tilt trim setup built into transom bar, unfortunately I'm lost when it comes to what I'm missing. There are two hydraulic lines coming up from below the motor where the tilt bar and what looks like a motor are. The lines are metal with a cupped...
After looking thru the specs on this forum I've found that all the 150's are from 2000 models and later. Does anyone know where I can find the specs for my year? Or if they are pretty close to the same? Thank you in advance for any info.
My Serial number is: 6009047
I have had issues with this motor since day 1. now that its finally running (!!!!) i took it to the lake and got motor in water, it ran in neutral at good idle speed for about 15 to 20 min. once i put it in gear and gave it some throttle the motor bogged out and died. as long as i just shift...
I am very new to the whole boating world. I've got a Glastron ssv-178 that i restored... i have a Mercury Black Max 150 (roughly 1982-84) This motor will not start! I'm troubleshooting my way through this and so far I am getting fuel to carbs, spark to plugs, etc. A friend suggested a few other...
the positive connection inside my starter melted and upon taking this appart and trying to resolder it I was unable to get the solder to attach to the bolt; it holds to the wire connection perfectly though. this is my first boat to restore and having a wonderful time troubleshooting every...
