    Where do I start the repair?

    I have a mid 90's carbureted 6 cylinder Mariner 135. The stream has always been kinda weak, even when the impeller was new. Today I was running the boat (with a potential buyer on board) and the carbs flooded out. We drifted a bit, got the boat fired up, and kept running. That is when the...

    I have a 200 Hp Mariner. I recently replaced the trim unit as part of a rebuild project on my boat. The first problem I had was that the tilt/trim switch on my shifter was not providing enough power to tilt the motor. I went with a seperate switch and it seems that this problem is corrected. I...
