    How to tell if my 140 Suzuki already has a trim gauge harness?

    I would like to install a trim gauge on my 21' Tidewater bay boat which is powered by a 2007 Suzuki 140. I've found the trim gauge I need online, but do I really need to buy the harness? Or are the trim indicator wires already built into the engine's wiring harness and just one of those unused...

    Better performance by raising the outboard one or two holes?

    I am working on buying an '07 Tidewater 21' BayMax powered by a very low-hour 140 HP Suzuki. I saw the boat last Fri. and liked it, so we took it out yesterday for a sea-trial. While running it, I noticed it put up allot of spray beside the O/B's mid-section until the motor was trimmed up...

    115 Lower Unit Leak after passing the pressure test

    My '98 Evinrude Ocean Pro 115 has developed a leak in the lower unit. I bought the motor in Sept. and replaced the gear lube then. What came out looked clean and I even checked it several times since I changed it and no problems until two weeks ago. I took it to a local shop and they...

    Clacking noise in '97 Evinrude 70

    This motor is mounted on a Scout 152 sportfish and I've owned it since early spring of this year. I've run it quite a bit this summer. After purchasing it, I rebuilt the carbs and followed the synchronizing and timing adjustments per the service manual. I removed the VRO and am running...
