I've been working on this 1981 50hp Mercury (5747060) that I replaced the water pump impeller. the tell tale has hot water coming out at idle, but you get the RPM's up and the water stops and just steams pours out. could it be possible the power head base gasket is blown out and the exhaust is...
I am having the same issue with a 1981 50hp Mercury. at idle there's water coming from the pee hole but it's very warm. at higher RPM's it's like the exhaust overpowers the water pressure and forces the water down the tube. I may start a post of my own if I don't see any response on yours
last summer I gave up on a customers 1971 1350 lower unit. it'll work for 1 or 2 shifts, and after that it's like neutral. almost like something in the lower unit skips over, and no longer works right. I wanted some ideas before he brings it back in a couple weeks. I had this lower unit off and...
I'm kind of noticing that. I pulled apart an 85hp for the shift rod parts I need that are suppose to interchange. I definitely couldn't do anything with the linkage rod until I pulled the power head off and out of the way
a customer dropped off his boat after successfully changing out the water pump impeller. the reverse locking (43308t1) cam fell out of place so there was nothing keeping the shift shaft centered, which broke out during assembly. Now, how does a person go about making this repair without pulling...
I've purchased a new 13 foot steering cable and helm assembly to replace my froze up steering cable. it's the SeaStar SS14113 assembly. I absolutely have no time to do this job. does anybody know what this might cost me to have a shop install my new parts?
one cylinder has no spark, and the other is pretty intermittent. was going to buy a new CDI ignition unit, but it say's unavailable. part number 32900-93500. it look's like this part fit's 1980-1982 only. has anybody used an updated or superceded number that works?
a customer brought me in this 20hp Mercury motor with the lower unit removed and no idea what was wrong with it. water tube missing no problem as I found one of them already, but I'm not seeing any kind of exhaust tube or anything. I'm used to working on 40hp or bigger. does this motor not need...
a few days ago it stopped on the lake. wouldn't crank. replaced the starter relay and replaced the battery. took to my shop and I removed the starter, then took to the local generator starter repair shop and it tested good. with the new battery, the motor will crank over 6-10 revolutions, but...
I am working on the family PWC, and am wondering what the torque specification is on bolting down the fuel injectors again. they seem like 1/4 inch bolts that bolt down to the cylinder heads. I just don't want to shift the heads out of whack by over tightening. thank you in advance
I've been working on a 1988 85hp Force motor with a T&T that keeps bleeding down with no exterior leaks. I did put the new Tecumseh/B&S rubber needle valves seats in today, but still the same outcome. T&T is settling....sometimes all the way, but sometimes it'll settle like 2 inches and then...
I have a 1965 Johnson 40hp motor with the electric shift. I opened up the square grey junction box today and seen that it's all butchered up inside there. first thing I need is the flat brown board that the wires are all suppose to plug onto. does anyone know of a source that makes these boards...
as the title states, I have zero spark on the top cylinder. I have swapped the spark plug leads and still no spark on top cylinder. is there a site, or can anyone help me out as to the testing procedure to verify my issue? there are two coils, a power pack assembly, and of course the stator...
I finally found a post on this site from back in 2014 where a guy needed help lowering the lower unit on his mid 90's 25hp Evinrude. I couldn't find a video on You Tube, and I new I was goin gto have trouble once I didn't see the 2 screws and plate in the midsection like the older motors. I...
I'm rebuilding the lower unit on a YAMAHA 200TLRP. I've purchased the Clymer manual which has great pictures and info, but one question. it says to torque the bearing carrier spanner nut to 140 ft lbs. OMG! serious? is there anyone on here that has resealed their lower unit and gone with a...
