    Replacement No-Feedback Steering Package OMC#0770850

    Transferring fuel from truck to garage to dock to boats (PITB)

    Drop a 4' piece of plywood down over the 4 steps and turn it into a ramp. Shouldn't be too difficult to secure it so it doesn't slide away. Or get yourself a wagon or cart to transport the cans to the top of the steps. And use good cans, they will last a lifetime.

    Portable tank vent ? Connector?

    How it revs on the muffs means nothing. There is no load on the engine, and no back pressure on the exhaust. If your serial number was lower than A710280, pump would be in the carb, Your serial number is far above that, so you should have a separate fuel pump. Look Here...

    Portable tank vent ? Connector?

    I've got 2 of those OMC tanks as pictured above. Circa 1984/1985. Your cap is correct. There is no vent in the cap. The small pins on the fitting must be depressed by the fuel line connector. Looks like your connector is a cheap aftermarket knock off. The tab on the side of the connector is on...

    Can electrical power be pulled from a 25hp Merc outboard?

    Easiest would be to buy him a couple or three new batteries so he could switch them out during the long fishing days. Or buy a service manual with wiring diagrams for the motor. Or buy him the upgrade at the dealer. Might as well add the electric start while its there. Great Christmas present...
