    74 Mercury 402 throttle cable adjustment and prop replacement.

    Most of my experience is with OMC. But I'm the new owner of a 1974 Mercury 402 (40hp) long shaft. 140 compression on both cylinders. It runs great, but the throttle cable needs adjustment. It's not pulling the lever it's attached to far enough forward. On a similar OMC, I could make this...

    4 stroke 135 trim falling

    I didn't get any bites over on the Honda site, so I figured I'd try this group, which has proven wonderful in the past. Tied to the dock, when I raise my Honda 135 out of the water, it comes right up. And when I release the trim up button, the motor slowly falls back (losing trim) until it is...

    Early 80's Evinrude 35hp: power issues.

    I have an early 80's Evinrude 35 horse. It starts and runs fine, but I have two problems: 1. The engine loses power when the boat hits any kind of wave. Comes right back, but whenever the boat hits a wave, it loses rpms for a split second. 2. I'm not getting full power out of the engine...
