Any ideas? 1987 Force 85hp 3 cylinder. Compression is good. Cleaned engine fuel filter and replaced fuel pump diaphragm. New plugs. New inline fuel filter. Pulled carburetors apart, cleaned out the bowls, jets look good.
The motor will fire right up and idle all day. But you can not...
I have a chrysler/force 3 blade aluminum prop that I am having a hard time identifying. My neighbor needs a new prop but I do not want to give him this one until I know what it is.
The hub says either p143-2 or p743-2, I believe it is 743 but I am not sure. Also the numbers 743265 and 15972 are...
I currently have a 2007 115hp optimax and I am looking at he mercury website at the engine specs. It looks like the actual "engine" is the same for the 75-125hp models as far as displacement goes. Since this is computer controled fuel injection, I am wondering if it is possible to have someone...
Hey all, quick question here, I am in the process of swapping motors from 2 different boats. One is a Mercury and the other is a Johsnon so controls have to switch as well. I can't get the control cable to pull al the way through the floor on the one boat.
I am wondering if anyone knows how to...
Ok real quick, 1975 evinrude 70hp had a broken prop shaft. I took a lower unit I had from a 1973 evinrude 70 and installed it. Start it up, put in gear and spins reverse in forward and forward in reverse.
I did not touch shist cables or anything of that sort. Only installs one way, shift rod...
Looking for either a part # or just a website where I can find the part # for the small plastic fitting that goes in the hole for the tell tale. It is missing on my 2000 DF40. Since the fitting is not there the water trickles out and you can not see that it is pumping water from inside the boat.
I am going with my brother to look a his potential next boat this afternoon. The boat is powered by a 1999 Johnson 250hp V6 outboard.
I am going to give it a quick inspection and compression test. I am wonderiong what I should be looking for as far as conssidering this motor to be healthy.

Hey guys, I was helping a friend to winterize his boat the other day. This is his 1st boat so I thought I could teach him a few things.
Everything was fine until we were fogging. Ran the motor and fogged the carbs until it shut down just like the fogging oil can said to do. Then I pulled the...
I have a 1976 10 hp chrysler that is in awesome shape. It runs great and is a nice little motor. It had a little sputter here and there at idle and after a carb rebuild and tune up I rebuilt the fuel pump as per a suggestion here.
Now to the problem, this motor is electric start. I had to take...
I am currently working on a johnson 115hp V4 with VRO. Got it running. Has new plugs and powerpack so spark is no issue. When I fire it up it smokes unbelievbly. Like the vro pump is just constantly dumping oil.
i have had 2 stroke O/B's my whole life so I know they all smoke a bit. But this...
I have a Yamaha 130hp 2 stroke V4. Great running motor but now won't go over 4 mph.
It shifts F-N-R just fine. All linkage seems to be moving properly and moving to the correct position.
When in the water it goes in forward and the boat starts moving but when you try to give it throttle it...
Just repowered a boat. Switched from evinrude to yamaha. The yamaha came with controls but the cables are to short.
My question is, when ordering new cables do I measure the entire length of the old evinrude cables or just the black/jacketed part?
Got a bad trim pump motor. How in the world do I change it? Seems simple right, only 3 bolts.....that are impossible to get to!!
Do i have to take the motor off of the boat or something???? PLEASE HELP!!!
I am thinking of picking up a nice crabbing boat. Very very good price!!! Has an early 70's mercury 65hp. Needs a lower unit.
I have a merc 50 and 80 of the same vintage here for parts. Anyone know if these lowers would work or not????
