    Mercury 100 2+2 no oil on full throttle run

    My Mercury 100 died at full throttle, it felt like it seized. It started right back up and would run fine except for full throttle where it had a ticking noise and would stall. I opened the hood and noticed oil dripping from the oil pump area, took it into a Merc dealer and they found a...

    Lund Tyee + 100 hp Mercury = ? Stainless prop

    Trying to find the best Stainless prop for my 93 Lund Tyee 1650 powered with 92 Mercury 100. I tried to use a prop calculator but I'm not sure what the gear ratio is on the Merc. It does have a 14 sticker on the lower unit...what does that mean? Right now it has a 17 pitch Mercury aluminum...

    My 92 Mercury is hard to start unless you give it quite a bit of throttle and is stalling at low RPM. Idle speed is around 850......any ideas what would cause this?

    I have a 93 Lund Tyee II that I'm having a custom boat cover made for. I want a full tie down cover that covers the boat and motor. My problem is the canvas shop does not know how to design a cover that can work when the motor is trimmed up for trailering and down for storage on the lift. One...

    25 HP Evinrude Float adjustment

    Having carb problems, rebuilt carb and it stalls at idle. I know that the float should be parallel to the carb gasket surface when carburetor is upside down but where should it fall when held upright......is there a measurement? The stalling may be due to a bad fuel pump but I want to be sure...

    Is it safe to run an inline fuel filter on a 1983 25 hp Evinrude?

    I rebuilt the carburetor, fuel pump, replaced fuel lines and in the process mangled the screen inside the fuel pump cap. To correct for the loss of the screen I installed a Johnson/Evinrude inline filter as my dealer did not have any replacement screens for the cap. Is the fuel pump on the...

    25 hp Evinrude won't shut off

    Hello my 83 Evinrude 25 hp (E25RCTE) will not shut off, when I push the shorting switch it slows the RPM's down but never kills it completely. I have cleaned the switch contacts and check ground, everything looks good. Any ideas? Thanks

    Just installed a new water pump kit on my 83 evinrude 25, is there a torque spec for the 4 bolts that hold the lower unit on? Should I use some type of sealant on the lower unit sealing surface before reinstalling? Thanks

    83 Evinrude 25 kill switch prob.

    My 83 Evinrude tiller has problems shutting off, if you push the kill button on the front of the motor at idle it will spit and sputter for at least 5-10 seconds and finally die. If there is just a slight twist on the throttle (increasing the RPM's) it won't even think about shutting down. Is...

The previous owner has removed some of the hull decals and must have removed some of the decal adheasive using sand paper causing two small areas (8"x12") that the finish has been stripped off. I believe the hull is anodized, is there a product that I could use to...
