    Tohatsu 9.8 flushing

    I have a 9.8 4-stroke Tohatsu that has a wash <br />hole but no adapter. Is it part of a flush kit or something? Can anyone tell me where to <br />find one on-line? I'm fed up with local dealers.<br />They're no help at all.

    Tohatsu 9.8 4-stroke

    I'm looking at buying a Tohatsu 9.8 4-stroke from<br />an Internet company (Porta-bote.com). It's the <br />rope start model so there won't be any controls<br />to worry about. Is there much else to getting these going out of the box besides fuel and oils? I haven't bought much over the...

    9.8 Nissan-4 vs. 9.9 mariner-2

    I use a 14ft Sea Nymph on a lake that has a 10hp<br />limit. At the time I run a '91 Mariner 9.9. It runs like a top, but I'm thinking of buying a new Nissan 9.8 four stroke. The weight difference is <br />77 to 81.5 pounds. Would I notice any more speed <br />with the Nissan. Or should I look...

    9.9 Mariner vent screw

    Still having trouble finding a vent screw <br /> for a 91 9.9 Mariner. Parts stores keep trying <br /> to sell me a screw that's too small. My s/n is 0C141585. Anyone know if this was a special case? I just can't seem to get a good seal. The opening is tucked right under the cavitation plate...

    Mariner 9.9 vent screw

    I'm having trouble with the gearcase vent screw <br />on a 91 9.9 mariner. It's a smaller hole tucked right under the cavitation plate. When I try to get a replacement screw they want to sell me a conventional large head screw similar to the drain plug only minus the magnet. They say that's what...

    91 Mariner 9.9

    I own a 91 9.9 Mariner. Was this rated at <br />the crank or the prop? My lake limits boats <br />to less than 10 horse. Would I get more power <br />with a new 9.9?

    Rebuilding carbs

    I'm wondering what goes bad in a carb that <br /> requires a rebuild. The kits are expensive <br /> and the old parts don't look worn out. Can't <br /> the old parts just be cleaned? I'm working <br /> on an old Merc carb from the seventies. <br /> What should I look out for? Thanks.

    Prop frozen on

    I have a small 2-blade prop stuck on a 4.5 <br /> Merc. I've tried everything short of the<br /> sledge. Any ideas how to get it off? It's <br /> probably been on there 20 years.

    1977 4.5 Merc - No spark

    I have a 1977 4.5 merc (1-cyl) that has no spark <br />at the plug. I do have spark at the leads coming from under the flywheel. I replaced the coil, but still no spark at the plug. I'm thinking of replacing the condenser, but at $70, I thought I'd look to outside help. My question is, would I...
