It never ends. Engine runs great after new water pump installed. So I just put the muffs back on, start her up, put it in forward gear and it doesn't go into gear. So, evidently, when I replaced lower unit, I didn't do something regarding the gear shift. I'll drop the lower unit tomorrow but I...
New water pump installed (just impeller, not housing) Engine has been idle for 10 years. Just getting it back online. Got the engine running and sounding good. Lower unit is in a 20 gal.bucket of water that only goes about 1/2' over the top of the highest water intake slot. (need lower unit...
This is housing I just removed. Is there supposed to be a rubber grommet or seal between the top of the metal cup, inside, and the bottom of the plastic housing that the shaft goes thru (on top)? There is just a 1/4" empty space. I have a new impeller kit but came with no new housing . It does...
Watched YouTube videos on how to drop lower unit but all were 20" shafts. Mine is a 25" shaft. I'm guessing a 5" extension kit was installed. Can't fiqure out what bolts to were to drop lower unit. The normal 4 bolts on the bottom do not exist on this outboard. Anyone have a link to a How-To...
With one battery, it engages flywheel sometimes (gear spins but doesn't pop up enough). With two batteries, it does better but sometimes doesn't engage flywheel. Does better when engine is hot. Mostly, right now, gear spins but doesnt pop up to meet the flywheel. Ideas, please.
Update:
I put a...
Not sure how it's actually calculated. I want to temporarily put a 20" shaft 75 HP Merc Tracker where my 150 BM is now sitting (for one season and on my 1994 2003 Bayliner Trophy walk around. I always thought the 150 BM and the 75 Merc had the same shaft length but 150 looks about 4" longer...
I accidently lost about 20% of existing oil. It is red so I'm guessing power steering fluid is in there now. Should I just add more power steering fluid or is there something better? Easy enough to drain and replace all if necessary. Thanks, in advance, for all replies.
I want to use external fuel tank,( vs. engine is now pulling fuel from built in tank). Engine has a small oil reservoir atop engine. I also have a couple gallon oil tank in the hull (1994 Bayliner Trophy walkaround). Questions are: #1 Using external 6 gallon fuel tank, do I need to add 50:1 mix...
85889124 part number for ECM. 135 OPTI / YR 2000. Is there any way to bench check this or is there a tutorial or "how to check" video?
Wire harness was fried due to reversing battery cables. Need new wire harness. Wondering if I fried my ECM. What are the chances that it was not damaged? Thanks...
I have a 2006, 2 wd Sierra 1500. Engine is a small 280 (more or less) V8. Truck manual states about 6500 lbs trailer pulling capacity. I am wondering if it will pull my 4000 lb (w/ all the gas and outboard) 20' Bayliner Trophy walkaround up a wet / slippery ramp. I have a tandem axle aluminum...
These are two weep holes that seeped this burnt smelling oil after I ran outboard in a tank. I checked lower unit gear oil and it is like new (I put it in yesterday) so this is coming from where?????? I just installed a new impeller.
After installing new impeller, with lower unit still off the outboard and on the workbench, I have to really put some effort into turning the prop counterclockwise to get the driveshaft to turn clockwise. Impeller is installedd properly with fins opposite of ckockwise. With old impeller, I coud...
