    1988 Mercury 9.9hp two stroke electrical…

    Is it possible I have overlooked something simple? Could there be an issue with it being hooked up to a battery? When I was first rope starting it, it was not connected to battery. Battery has been connected since I hooked up controls and electric start

    1988 Mercury 9.9hp two stroke electrical…

    Need help with an ‘88 Mercury 9.9 two stroke. It is set up for remote throttle/ignition/etc. Everything worked fine using the rope start. Hooked up the controls and the motor wouldnt turn over. Figured out I forgot to connect the kill switch wires. Fixed it and it turned over nicely, but wouldnt...

    1988 Mercury 9.9hp two stroke. About 2 years ago it was great, had not started it since then until today. Was stored horizontally on the floor, carb side down, with no fuel in the bell. Prior to starting, I replaced the water pump, gear oil, spark plugs, fuel filter, thermostat, and filled up...

    1975 Mercury 500EL Lightning Energizer wiring…

    Ok good so that makes sense, and what my guess was but I just needed clarification. The white on the engine side, even tho it is omitted on my diagram, goes to 12v…which in my case will be the rectifier Red wire. Thank you

    1975 Mercury 500EL Lightning Energizer wiring…

    Ive checked the diagrams. I seem to have this right, but need an answer from someone more knowledgable than me. From the Mercontrol, I have Red, Black, Yellow, White, Salmon, Brown, Grey. Engine side, same colors. My question is about the white wire, specifically. CDI says it is not used on the...

    I am finishing up completely restoring a motor for it first. Its a 1975 Chrysler 90hp. Then on to the itchy… Still can not find much about the brand. Was in business from 1985-89 it seems. Associated with Berretta Boats and Magnum Boats. Thats all ive got. Would love to just know a model name...

    Evinrude 777171 white for Chrysler paint…

    Has anyone tried the evinrude/johnson white as a close enough match for the old Chrysler white? Specifically 1975 vintage. Its sort of a bright-ish cream white. I have used it on the powerhead and it is damn close, but close to the color of a dingey 50yo outboard…not necessarily how they came...

    Loctite 081 grade D substitute…

    I am completely rebuilding a 1975 90hp Chrysler outboard, model 907HB. Upper main bearing calls for Loctite D to be applied to the outer surface during install. Would like to know of alternatives. I can not find grade D, and the Harnon equivalent I can only find on one international Spanish...

    1988 Pacer CC 17’…

    Bumping in hopes that someone can still help. It is actually an 18’ boat, rated for 115hp iirc. I do not need the info for anything other than curiosity, as the transom and floor will both be coming out and the entire thing will be restored

    OMC Cobra tilt/trim help…

    No problem. The wires going into the seat from the solenoid side look like they can come unseated easily if you are working back there and tug on it. Probably one of the things that happened to me, aside from the pump motor going bad

    OMC Cobra tilt/trim help…

    Figured it out. The issue was this connector, from solenoids to motor. Thanks for all the help and suggestions!

    OMC Cobra tilt/trim help…

    Simple answer is it has to be that main line between the starter and solenoids, right? If it clicks both up and down, the switch and solenoids work, and necessarily the 20amp fuse also must be in good shape. The motor itself can be jumped, so that is not the problem. That leaves the power...

    Just did another bench test, just in case, and the motor works when jumped.
