    Boat won't start when warm

    Ok. I'm on my last straw here. Next step is driving out in the middle of the lake and pulling the plug if you know what I mean. I've had several posts regarding this issue and nothing seems to fix it. After going out for a cruise, letting the boat sit for a bit, and then going to restart, it...

    98 3.0 thermostat housing

    I posted this originally under outboards by mistake. I decided to buy a new thermostat for my mercruiser. Unfortunately the new one didn't fit, so went back to the dealer. Under closer inspection the parts microfiche shows an updated housing. So I bought it. Here my issues. The lower hose on...

    Thermostat housing update?

    So, I went to get a new thermostat for my 98 3.0 and the new thermostat didn't fit. So, after looking closer at the parts microfiche the thermostat has a link to the housing saying it has been updated. So, I ordered the new housing. Problem is one of the hoses is smaller and needs an elbow to...

    Help to eliminate vapor lock

    I have a 98 Maxum 1750NB with a 3.0 Merc. Two winters ago, I decided to gut the boat and install and brand new interior. It turned out looking great. I decided to bring the look up to date by removing the center engine cover and building a full sunpad and bench seat. Over last summer, I had...

    Onboard fuel tank vent

    Ok. So I have a 17' Campion ski boat with a 16 gallon fuel tank in the bow. It has a vent which goes through a hose to a fitting on the side of the boat. I was just wondering how this is supposed to be setup. The reason I ask is because everytime I fill the tank past 3/4's full, it leaks out the...

    85 115hp I6 Flooding?

    Ok. So this motor is pissing me off. I got rid of a great running mariner 75 and "upgraded" to the 115, which has been a nightmare. So here's what has been done.....completely rebuilt lower unit, seals, waterpump, impeller. All three carbs professionally rebuilt, set, linked and timing set. So...

    Guages not working

    So, when I switched from the 86 Mariner to the 82 Merc 115, I swapped the control units as well. The older unit (commander) has the same plug for the guages, but the guages are not working. They don't seem to be getting power. Where should I start? I have a seloc manual, but it doesn't have much...

    Fuel Filter/Water Seperator

    Hi. Just wondering if I should install a fuel water seperator in my boat for my 1982 115? I'm looking at the Quicksilver model as it's a good size and the price is right. Just making sure it wouldn't impede too much fuel flow.

    Splitting speedo tube??

    Here's a question for y'all....Can I put a tee in the plastic tube for a speedo, to run two guages? You may ask why. Well....my old motor had the speedo built right into it, the new (older) merc does not. My boat also has a hummingbird fish finder, with a built in speedo, and has it's own...

    Disconnecting Trim/tilt pump

    Hi. I have a 1982 Merc 115 and I am removing it from one boat and installing it on another. I need to disconnect the trim/tilt pump and remove the lines (and probably replace the lines). How do I relieve pressure on the pump/resevoir in order to do this? Thanks

    Quicksilver controls

    Hi everyone, I have a 1986 Mariner 75hp and a 1982 Merc 115hp both with Quicksilver controls. The controls on the merc have a trailer button (to control upper tilt I imagine) but the mariner controls do not. The mariner controls have a third wiring harness which comes out the bottom and goes to...
