    93 Bayliner Jazz - Reverse Gate Woes - Cable Question?

    I've recently acquired a 1993 Bayliner Jazz. The outdrive needs a little work before I even dare put it in the lake. THe primary issue is the reverse gate. It is missing that is referred to as a "Pivot Bolt" on the port side. This attaches the reverse gate to the housing. It sees to be a...

    Lower unit removed - shaft still attached - ***SUCCESS***

    Re: Lower unit removed - shaft still attached - help? Re: Lower unit removed - shaft still attached - help? Tough to get focus on the shaft, but I think it'll give you a general idea. I'm pretty sure it's rusted on to the crank. The question is whether or not I'll do more damage trying to get...

    Lower unit removed - shaft still attached - ***SUCCESS***

    The short version: I dropped the lower unit to install a pump kit, but the driveshaft remained attached. Any trick to this or is it just stuck? Or did I just screw something up when I took the entire motor apart in no particular order? Long Version: In the process of my exhaust tube repair, I...

    1984 Johnson J6RCRM - found this hole under the exhaust cover - advice?

    I purchased this motor with a small boat in June of 2011. I used it on a different boat for smaller lakes and ponds and the motor never did seem to have the power I thought it should have. Nevertheless, I winterized it and stored it indoors over the winter. Pulled it back out a couple of weeks...

    1984 Mercury 90hp Tower of Power - Correct Prop / Performance?

    I have a 1984 Merc 90hp on a 1984 Glastron SSV-151. I'm not sure if it is the original motor on the boat as I am the third owner. Motor is running fine, but I cannot get the boat past 32-35 MPH @ WOT regardless of where I set the trim. Everyone who has seen the motor / boat on the water has...

    Help with wire location

    Hi, I recently noticed a wire on my 1984 Mercury 90HP that is either broken/cut or was disconnected by the previous owner. I found a wiring diagram online but I'm not sure that this wire is shown. Wondering if there is anyone that might be able to tell me where it goes and what it's purpose is?

    1968 Mercury 50HP outboard - Crack in lower unit - best plan of action?

    I was prepping the the old "fiberglassic" for another season on the lakes yesterday, started the motor and it purred like a kitten. However I noticed about a 6 inch crack in the lower unit casing around the propeller. I am assuming there must have been some water in there that froze over the...
