    Merc 225 stuck in forward after impeller change

    I have a 2003 Merc 225. dropped the lower unit to change the impeller and am now stuck in forward even with the lower unit off. Does this make any sense? I disconnected the shift cable & it moves freely so it leads me to believe linkage or shift rod. Is there anything that causes the shift...

    Fuel spraying from my VRO (115 V4)

    I have a 1994 115 V4 which started sputtering on me last weekend. I pulled the cowling and noticed fuel spurting from one of the seams at the base of the plastic housing on my vro pump. The oil delivery system is disconnected and I am pre-mixing. Can I replace my VRO with a regular fuel pump...

    Evinrude 115 Fuel Pump

    I have a 1995 Evinrude 115 and need a new fuel pump. All I can find are kits but I would like to replace the whole thing. Does anyone out there in iboats land happen to have a part number for the entire pump? My VRO is disconnected if that matters. Thanks, Pat

    Do I have a bad Stator?

    I was running my 1994 Evinrude 115 at 5000 rpms and it completely shut down, didn't sputter or stall out. It was very sudden. It started up again, but would only go about 2000 rpms for the rest of the day. I took it out the next day and was able to creep up to about 3800 rpms. Does this sound...

    Evinrude 115 v4 cylinder not firing

    I have a '94 Evinrude 115 V4 that was really bogging down under load. I've determined which cyl. is not getting a spark, now what? Should I start by replacing the plug, then plug wire, and keep working my way through until I find the problem or is there a way to narrow down the problem even...

    Sterndrive stuck to pivot housing

    I've removed my sterndrive and pivot housing but I cannot get them apart. I've tried penetrating oil, hammer & chisel, hammering on the studs, no luck. Any suggestions? Would a shop have some type of puller that might work, or are they going to charge me $70 per hour to beat on it with a...

    melted exhaust flapper on Volvo Penta

    I've just removed my volvo penta DP to find the source of water coming into the bilge and found a melted mangled exhaust flapper lodged at the end of my Y-Pipe by the drive. Could this cause water in the bilge? I thought it was a torn bellows, but they all look ok.<br /><br />Thanks

    Volvo Penta running hot

    I have a 1999 volvo 5.0 that runs perfectly fine in the driveway with the muffs on, but when I put it in the water and run it, it runs hot. I've just replaced the impeller and am thinking that when the old one dissintegrated, some of the pieces of rubber are clogging up the water intake hose...

    Volvo Penta Duoprop Impeller

    I have a 1999 VP5.0 with a duoprop sterndrive. When I run the motor in the driveway with the muffs on, it runs hot, about 225 according to my guage. Does the duoprop have an impeller or does the raw water pump do all the work? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm new to this boat, and I...

    volvo penta fuel injectors

    I have a VP 5.0 with TBFI, and I'm trying to pinpoint my fuel injection problem. My fuel pressure guage reads about 30 psi when cranking, so I think the fuel pumps are ok. I pulled the connectors and put a test light to them and one side of each connector was getting constant power once the key...

    Volvo Penta fuel injection problem

    Before starting my VP 5.0 after a long spell of sitting idle, I replaced the low pressure fuel pump and also took off the throttle body fuel injector, took it apart and cleaned everything with carb & choke cleaner (maybe I should not have done that as I have no experience with TBFI's). Now when...

    Will I have enough power?

    I have an old 27'Omega I am going to re-power. It used to have a pair of 4 cyl I/O's and I'm thinking of hanging a bracket and a 250 on it. I've talked to one marina and they said it would probably perform better than it did originally because of the reduction in weight, but a friend of mine...

    Transom Replacement

    I have a 27' Omega in need of a new transom. I have removed all of the old rotted plywood and used resin and fiberglass mat to install wood braces from the stringers to the outside shell of the transom. I am ready to install new plywood and was going to use 2 sheets of 3/4" plywood glassed...
