My early 80’s Mariner 40 has been running great. Last weekend I turned the key to start and got nothing. I check battery strength, cleaned terminals, replaced solenoid, and inline fuse.
If I jump the solenoid, it cranks. If I turn the key and push in for the choke, I can hear it engage.
Good...
I have a 40 HP Mariner- 40 EL 6E9 L 423576 Can anyone confirm this is a 1986?
I have lower unit water intrusion. I pressure tested the lower unit and it failed to hold 10 psi. While re-filling with gear oil, it leaked out the water pickup areas and out the prop hub.
Looking at the price...
Well it was that time of year yesterday, and I pulled our pontoon. When I drained the lower unit gear oil, I unfortunately had water in it. This boat/motor were new to me last year and at the end of the season I had some work done by a local shop and they supposedly drained and refilled the...
I have a 1987 Mariner 40 ELO and need to replace the fuel line from the connector on the motor back to the fuel filter on the block. Part # is 84956M but it and some numbers it superseded to are obsolete.
When it was available it was only $5, so it must be a common size right? Any idea on the...
Sorry guys, but trying to order a prop. Motor was sold to me as a 1987, but I think it may be a 1983 (there is a difference between a "pin" and "spline" drive in prop selection).
Serial # 677 S 057030
Going to order a prop from Iboats today for this motor. It will be used as a kicker for my 15 foot bowrider (for the time being, but later may be used on a small aluminum ). What was the standard pitch this motor came with? What should I get?
I have what I believe to be a 1979 Mariner 40 ( 676 BL 40211) which runs great. Looking to do some preventative maintenance by replacing the water pump among other things. I am having problems finding a place stocking these old parts. Am I SOL or is there a good place to find parts for this...
I purchased a used Lowe 24' pontoon boat last spring. The seller had replaced the flooring at some point with what he said was marine grade plywood. Instead of carpet, he used a vinyl flooring. Only problem is he did not properly get the vinyl flooring to the edge of the plywood in a few spots...
I am looking at purchasing a Yamaha 25hp outboard with 703 controls. The current owner has the controls side mounted near or on the rail of his pontoon. My pontoon has a console and I would like to put the controls on the right side there. Can these controls be reversed or converted?
Thank you.
Hi Guys, my first post here. Been lurking for a while, but have a problem now and hope I can get some troubleshooting opinions.
My 2000 Johnson 9.9 has developed some running issues. I first noticed that the motor would reach WOT (5200 or so) and then began loosing rpm's (about a 1000). I...
