    Shift Shaft problem - 1999 8HP Mercury

    While I was taking off the water pump base, the shift shaft as well as the shift cam came out with it. I can't figure out how to put it back in for the life of me. Nowhere on the diagrams even show where it's supposed to go. If this helps: Turning the propeller clockwise while gripping the...

    No Spark - 8HP Mercury 1989 2 Stroke - Are these Coil, Stator, and Trigger Readings Good?

    Thanks! According to the guides, both coils and stator are out of spec. Yikes. As for taking it apart, I did that because I mainly just like to take things apart lol because I like to look at what I'm dealing with. It wasn't hard, and I may need to switch out the stator or switch box anyway...

    Seized Engine? Solutions?

    Hello, I bought a boat at an auction without testing it knowing something is probably wrong, and I'm pretty sure there is now that I have a chance to check it out. It has a 2001 DF115 4stroke efi. The motor won't turn over, I think it tries to turn the flywheel but then dies right after. I...

    What is this connected to the ignition cable?

    Just got the boat a week ago and finally getting around to starting it. I'm confused at what the heck this thing is. As soon as I try to start the motor, I'm pretty sure this clicks and shuts off the power. I'm guessing it's some kind of breaker? Why would it just click and not try to start the...

    What is the extra hole for in this aluminum gas tank?

    There is a hole in this gas can that’s meant to be there but not sure what it’s for? Looks like there was a rubber hose or something that was cut off from it.. I’m guessing it’s a vent?

    Pretty sure I messed up when doing a spark plug gap test - NO spark anymore

    I've been wondering why my spark just magically disappeared. I was doing the 7/16" gap test and I got my '72 18hp Evinrude to pass that the gap test. But while I was checking just a couple more times, I noticed no more spark. Tried the other plug wire and same thing! After a while I think I...

    Will hardly turn right.

    Using a 50hp Johnson outboard. It was working fine before. Didn't really do anything to it that I am aware of. Has a great left turn but hardly turns right. What could be the problem?

    Starter stuck in flywheel??

    I'm using a 1975 50 hp Johnson Seahorse 50ESL75. The starter is engaged in the flywheel and will not come down. It was working perfectly fine the day before on the water but when morning came I found out it wouldn't start because the starter is stuck in the flywheel. Do I have to get a new...

    Gear Oil Leak + Milky Oil

    Using a 1975 50 hp Johnson Seahorse. My gear oil has been leaking a bit. I first noticed it on the water when we were drifting. Then when I test it and run it for a while with the muffs it will leak a little bit. I've taken out a few times and just drained the oil just to see. There seemed...

    Problem with plastic gas tank...

    I have a 75' Johnson Outboard and a plastic tank to feed the gas. My engine started last time I used it a couple weeks ago but now it wont start. I believe there is a problem with the pressure. After 15 seconds the bulb is not tight anymore. The cap is tight. The gas is going to the other...
