    Bad CDI unit equals bad performance?---2003 Mercury 90 hp

    Can a bad CDI unit effect performance? Last season boat ran perfect. Was out yesterday with it and ran awful (sputtering) at a higher rpm and then battery wouldn't turn motor over. Gas is fresh and carbs are clean. Started looking at motor and noticed the CDI unit is melted so I need to get one...

    90 hp Mercury OB won't start. Battery good.

    Hello, Battery good. 12 volts on meter. All lights work but trim at throttle and trim at motor won't work and motor won't start. Ran perfect the night before. I did wash boat and may have gotten water into ignition. I did read about trying to jump the red wire and red/yellow wire from ignition...

    115 HP Suzuki running at half throttle when wide open

    First...at full throttle, the linkage arm popped off of the small black plastic clip on carb. I adjusted the arm so it longer pops off but now when I have it set at almost full throttle (on water), it's running at half throttle or even less. There's not a lot of room to adjust this rod but can...

    115 hp Suzuki O/B losing power

    At half throttle or above, the motor is running as if it's 1/3rd throttle. Sometimes though when it's doing this, the motor will kick in and run as it should but then eventually go back to my problem. Thanks.

    Bimini Top-----fabric/canvas only needed.

    Hi all. Can someone point me in the right direction in purchasing the fabric only, without framing. Here on iboats and many others, it looks like they sell the whole package. I just need the fabric...my framing is in good condition. Thanks.

    1987 18' Winner Center Console

    Of the 5 holes in rear of boat, which one(s) are to be plugged before putting in water? The top two I'm good with but the other 3 (top two have the rubber flaps and bottom center just a hole) I'm unsure about. Thanks.

    80 hp mercury carb problem.

    Removed carb last night and cleaned it good/blew some air through the jets. Now, with carb installed and pressing the primer ball, I'm actually seeing gas come out of the bottom port or jet (where butterfly is) and at a bottom port where there is a small brass screw (screw has hole through it)...

    80 HP Mercury outboard bogging out.

    Hello all. My 80 HP Mercury is bogging out at less than half throttle. I replaced all my fuel lines from the portable 6 gallon tank, connections and primer bulb. Sometimes my primer bulb doesn't get hard like it should and is just spongy but if I put the fuel line directly into the fuel, the...
