    Honda BF150D internal anodes

    Hi, My maintenance manual says to check/grease the internal anodes on my 2023 BF150D. It doesn’t give the locations or how many there are. I know of the two that are easy to access on the starboard side of the motor. Are there only 2 on this motor or are there others as well? When it says to...

    Idle 2001 Mercury 150 carb

    Hi, I’ve done a ton of research, read the manual, and I’m still slightly confused. I set the idle timing and max timing by following the manual and set it to spec but my idle is still around 1400 rpm. The manual and forums say to adjust the screws on the carbs, but when I do that I don’t notice...

    2001 Mercury 150 saltwater series crankcase cover stuck

    Hi, Does anyone have any suggestions or tricks on how to get a stuck crankcase cover off? I removed the powerhead, removed all the bolts holding the crankcase halves together including the top and bottom covers, and it won’t budge. I’ve tried prying at the pry points but haven’t had any luck...

    2001 Mercury 150 Saltwater Series (carb) midrange bog after extended running.

    Thanks! I hadn’t thought about that. It’s definitely a possibility and next time it acts up, I’ll absolutely test it out

    2001 Mercury 150 Saltwater Series (carb) midrange bog after extended running.

    I actually just bought a fuel pump rebuild kit a few days ago, just cause I haven’t rebuilt it in almost 3 years. I figured it might be time. If that doesn’t work, it looks like I’ll be tearing down my carbs again. Thanks

    2001 Mercury 150 Saltwater Series (carb) midrange bog after extended running.

    The problem didn’t start until maybe 8 months after the carb rebuild.

    2001 Mercury 150 Saltwater Series (carb) midrange bog after extended running.

    Hi, I have been trying to trouble shoot this problem for almost a year now. I have a 2001 merc 150 that runs great for hours, but eventually starts to bog at midrange rpm. If I run the motor continuously for 3 or 4 hours, I can only drive around idle rpm or WOT. Anything in the middle bogs...

    Lost spark on cylinders 1, 2 and 5 (2001 mercury 150 carb)

    Last week I noticed my WOT rpm drop from 5500 to 4800 so I checked for spark and compression. All 6 cylinders were between 120 and 125, and every cylinder had spark. Today, I was out on the water and lost spark in cylinders 1, 2 and 5. I assume these problems are related. On my way back to the...

    Engine RPM drop

    Thanks for the info. That probably is what is happening. Today I tried to replicate the issue and investigate it, the issue was completely gone. My guess it’ll be back, and then I’ll know where to start. Thanks!

    Engine RPM drop

    Hi all, I have a 2001 mercury 150 carb saltwater series and a new issue just started that I haven’t had in the past. The motor runs fine and gets up on a plane no problem. Also, it can maintain 4500 rpm for as long as I want it to without any issues whatsoever. When I pull the throttle back to...

    Prop shaft seals?

    Okay, so my prop shaft is slightly bent, what are my options going forward?

    Prop shaft seals?

    Thanks for the reply. That’s certainly much easier of a process than pulling the carrier. Keeping my fingers crossed!

    Prop shaft seals?

    My prop hit the sand, I was actually going in reverse when it happened. I’ll be sure to check the shaft before making any decisions. Thanks!
