    1996 vs 2000 controls

    My boat currently has a blown up 2000 yamaha 150 fuel injected 2 stroke outboard on it. I plan on repowering it with a 1996 yamaha carb’ed 200. Will all the controls and wiring from the existing 150 mate up to the replacement 200?

    1996 suzuki dt 55 poor water flow

    I brought my boat in to have the impeller replaced because i thought the water flow from the peep hole seemed weak. I got it back and hooked up the ear muffs to it and i dont think it improved, but i dont know what its really supposed to look like. Theres water coming out at a few spots on this...

    Merc 115 overheating

    My friend's 2003 2 stroke mercury 115 is overheating. After a minute or so of being on plane, the buzzer sounds and the water coming from the motor is very very hot. It will idle no problem and the exit water is cool, but under load it gets hot quick. Im not sure where to start. The water stream...

    Yamaha 150 runs poorly when hot

    2004 yamaha 150 v6 carb'ed. Engine was running very poorly with no bottom end power. Normally my boat leaps out of the water and it was struggling to get on plane. I changed all the plugs (the old ones looked black and carbonized) and the boat ran perfect for about 25 minutes. After that it went...

    mercury 25 only runs while pumping ball

    i have an early to late 80's mercury 25 horse outboard that will only run while im pumping the ball. i replaced the gas tank, fuel lines, fittings, bypassed all the filters, and replaced the ball. the problem has not changed at all. the only thing i can think of is that it needs a fuel pump but...

    tower of power no balls

    my 1985 mercury 115 will not give me the time of day. it will idle fair, but anything past 1/4 throttle it will bog and die. i have cleaned the carbs very thoroughly, rebuilt the fuel pump, new fuel lines, tried 3 different gas tanks with fresh gas, timed and synced motor, the compression is...

    whats next?

    i have my 1985 mercury 115 timed, synchronized, and running perfectly. what is next to squeeze more power/rpms out of this motor? are there any aftermarket upgrades out there for these things? my next move will probably be to experiment with different props.

    bogging unless on plane

    my 1984 merc 115 tower of power is acting even weirder than usual. it bogs when im trying to get on plane and sometimes even dies out, but once i get going, the thing runs like a dream. tons of mid and top power. it just takes me forever to get on plane because i have to sit there and work the...

    i have a 1984 mercury inline 6 115. i finally hooked up a tach for the first time to it, and when i was out today it only got up to about 4200 rpms. this motor sounds great and seems to be revving high enough, but shouldnt this motor get closer to 5k? the previous owner said he had the timing at...

    tower of power soft ball

    i have a 1984 mercury 115 inline 6. the motor runs great, but after im on the throttle for about 5-10 seconds, the motor bogs down, and the ball feels very soft. at first i thought maybe it was a carb issue, but it runs perfect once you pump the ball back up. my next thought was possibly leaks...
