Condition: Hardly used, low hours, garage kept
Issue:
Yesterday took out my buddies fishing boat after a year long sitting for it's first ride. Started fine, but had some trouble idling. Once out on the water, sounded a bit rough (sort of like it wasn't firing on...
My 76 1150 never had power trim, so there is a CMC PT130 bolted to it. Last year it was giving me some fits, and I thought that it wouldn't trim while under power but wasn't sure. Anyhow, first start of the motor this year was fine. Fired on first turn of the key. But the CMC PT130 won't tilt...
So, I'm helping a friend do some service on his outboard and I just wanted to make sure I got the correct water pump for his motor.

I've had the nightmare of getting the wrong kit in the past.
Ran across a pal from Italy who told me he had a Sidewinder. First glance at it, I was sure it wasn't. Problem is, he doesn't know what it is.... Can anyone figure it out? I'm guessing he doesn't have a title or doesn't need one in Italy?? Who knows...
I've got a 72 Sidewinder 18SS. And a NON TILT/TRIM 76 Merc 1150 that I just rebuilt. I had gotten a CMC PT130 trim unit to use on it when I bought the used motor. Now that all is said and done when I took her out the first time I noticed that I couldn't get the motor to trim up while underway...
Hey guys,
I live in Ofallon, Illinois and have yet to boat in Illinois as I've been restoring a boat for almost 4 years. Finally its finished!! First maiden test voyage was out at Carlyle Lake, and didn't go so well as apparently I had motor issues that were unknown. Now those are fixed and I'm...
Was just wondering if anyone out there is using a free or paid cell phone GPS/Navigation app when out boating? I haven't had my boat out here locally, and don't have a GPS or Depthfinder in my boat.
The other day,I figured..... "There has to be an app for that!" So, what's your take on it? I'm...
I'm finishing up my resto and need to put together the necessary legal and safety items for my boat. One of those items is properly placed registration letters. I should premise this, with this being my first boat in Illinois.
I walked into my local boat store, and took a gander at the...
Okay-
Im a NJ native, and been in Illinois/STL,MO area for almost 7 years now. I've been restoring my boat for almost 3 years and now its actually water worthy at the moment and the rebuilt Inline 6 I just did is in dyer need of a maiden voyage/water test.
Problem is, I've only been on ONE...
Its a Marpac/Faria Tach... Motor is a 76 Merc 1150 Inline 6
Problem I am having is when idling the motor, the tach will bounce from around 900 to 2000rpm. Some settings will give it a much higher reading than what it really sounds like. I've tried a couple different settings on the tach, but...
I need a prop for my 76 Merc 1150 Inline 6.
There is a prop on it, that is in bad shape.

I'm seeming to be having a bit of a problem trying to find rebuild kits for my fuel pump and carbs. Can anyone help me with a part number or a link to find them?

Skeg has been sheared off of my lower. I'll be using the waterjet at the shop to cut a new one out. But since mine is so badly sheared off, I have no idea what size it was originally? Can anyone give me a base of the skeg width, and a length from the "bullet" down to the bottom? That way I can...
I'm going to remove my lower unit which has a skeg clearly sheared off and take it to my shop and weld a new one on. Was wondering if anyone has done this before, and should I leave the oil in the lower unit or remove it for welding? Do I have to take out the internals or no? I've got a very...
Hey guys,
Long story short- Im on a limited budget searching for a motor for my resto boat. I found a guy online that has an 84 Evinrude 150 XP strapped to a boat. He said the boat is non-running due to the lower unit being seized. Ive never heard of anything of any sort and was wondering if you...
