The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I've got a 99 250 EFI Merc with an intermitten ignition problem (Cylinder cuts out then comes back then will cut out again like someone flipped a switch. Could it be diagnosed by hooking up to test equipment at a dealer or should I just do the old process by elimination theory. With that...
Engine 1999 250 EFI s/n 0G899xxx.<br />Switched coils (not just the wires) with cyl # 4 to prove coil was good\bad and coil from #6 fired on #4, coil from 4 did not fire on 6. Stator or ECM? I put a meter on wires from stator and get readings 1.1k on most coils except for the one to six, that...

Ok so I finally was able to get the lower unit off my 92 Johnson 25 with a lot of heat, banging and finally took a sawzall to the stud leaving about 3/8" above the lower unit (enough to put vise grips on or weld something on) Now that I have soaked that in penetrating oil for the last 2 days...
The lower unit seems to be frozen on my 1992 Johnson 25 Longshaft. I have disconnected the shift shaft, removed 4 bolts and one nut (in front). It seems the stud that the bolt in front of the lower unit does not seem to move. I have soaked it with WD40 to no avail. I do not want to pry too...
Current engine is a 1992 Johnson 225. Got one bad hole (#6) that the top ring broke and scored the cylinder wall (prior to me owning it). Thinking about replacing it with a OX66 Yamaha 225 (fresh rebuilt) or just having the existing power head rebuilt. What fuel savings would I expect to see...
