OK, I bought this 2006 Mercury 9.9 (basically a Tohatsu MFS 9.8) last spring and the gentleman I bought it from already had it winterized with the oil changed. So now I am in the process of un-winterizing my boat for Spring and need to change the oil. Problem is, I can't find a darn oil filter...
Elvin, you may or may not remember me. We had a few discussions back in spring about my 2005/2006 Mercury 9.9 which is actually a Tohatsu 9.8/9.9.

Anyway, just FYI I just found the lower end of my motor has been victim to freezing water. I just...
I currently own a MK PD50 which is an older "white-head" style PD.
I am looking at upgrading to a 24v unit (probably 70#) with Autopilot and maybe Universal Sonar. I don't think I can justify the extra expense of the Terrova though it looks very nice.
I've read many of the threads here on...
OK, I have a fairly good grasp on how pitch, diameter and rpms affect speed/performance. (I think, anyway.)
My Fisher 17' aluminum deep V is powered by a Mercury 90hp 2-stroke. (My motors max rpms should be right at 5500 based on the book.) The boat came with a 21 pitch 13" aluminum prop and...
I've been having a devil of a time finding a water pump kit for my Merc 9.9. Been looking for over a month now. Not trying to gripe, but I just can't believe for a motor this new there aren't any water pump kits to be found.
All my local marinas are out, and I ordered one 2 weeks ago from a...
I would send you a PM, but it appears you don't have that option enabled.
If you recall my previous thread about my Merc. 9.9...(Nissan)

After sadly parting with my 1992 Nissan 9.9B2 I replaced it with a 2005 Mercury 9.9 4 stroke. HOWEVER, I've stumbled upon some info. that says this motor is basically a Tohatsu/Nissan? Can anyone confirm or deny this?
I would actually be very pleased if this were true based on my experience...
Was doing a bit of research on ebay and happened to stumble across this:
Ebay item 350018936238
For $20 +shipping vs. $60-$100 for a new kit from my local marinas this seems like a good deal.
Appears slightly different than the typical 320 racor filter kit, plus it has 2 in and 2 out lines...
This may seem absurdly silly to some - just thought I'd ask before I do something I'd regret.
My 17' Fisher Deep-V has a 30 gallon internal tank which runs my 90hp Merc. oil-injected 2-stroke. I always carried along a 6 gallon tank with mixed fuel for my 2-stroke kicker - it was not...
Hypothetically speaking...
Say you had a standard Merc 9.9 4 stroke and a 9.9 bigfoot with a blown motor.
Would it be possible to swap the legs to make the standard 9.9 a bigfoot model? I am quessing that the only difference between the two is in the leg/gearing/prop.
Perhaps a better...
Just picked up a 2005 Mercury 9.9 4 stroke to replace my Nissan 9.9 2 stroke. It's been a great motor, but for trolling I think I'll be much happier with the 4 stroke.
Anyway, I have a few people already interested in my Nissan and needed to get some opinions on setting a fair price. It's a...
Thought I would also post this question here in case some of you have any input.

I am using a 9.9hp 2 stroke Nissan as a kicker on my 17' Fisher Deep-V. The Nissan has a 3 blade prop and I am wondering if a different pitch or maybe a 4 blade prop would give it better bite at lower rpms?

I've got a MK Powerdrive 55 and just got a new fishfinder for the bow of my 17' Fisher Deep V. I've already got the bracket that mounts the transducer to the motor and have been out fishing twice. Currently I have the cable running under the 1/2 of the *bracket mounted to the boat. (*My PD is...
Hi guys, thinking of buying a used fishing boat with a 1992 50hp Force with tilt & trim. (Boat is 1991 16' Spectrum V aluminum.) Boat is in excellent condition, but I'm a little leary of the Force outboard. (Heard a lot of general comments about staying away from Force engines since they are...
