Nope - it's an 8 pin - worked thru the wiring tossed the console now going to pull it back out of the dumpster the gauges were decent lol - got it to turn over and the trim and tilt worked - thankfully - next going to put it on my boat and hook up the gas on muffs and see what happens. This...
thanks that's what I thought - going to put on a stand and work through - bottom line if I get it going and checks out will put it up for sale - got to figure out the wiring first - has a weird tilt and trim unit
The engine at least one side lol - I got one side of the cowl off - looks clean and maybe maintained - the tilt and trim is a single ram with the motor mounted outside the probably inside the transom - the motor is in an up position which I will have to deal with to put it on my stand to start...
Good info - pretty sure my poppet is stuck shut too - pulled the stats and am replacing them - pulled the cover off the poppet and ran into another problem - no one has probably ever changed the poppet and its the old style to piece cover - top cover comes off easy but now have to figure out how...
Thanks - appreciate the reply affirms my thoughts - but wasn't aware of the head bolt scenario will check them. Have new thermostats and parts to replace the poppet arrive today. There is a great video on replacing the poppet valve on you tube by Pro Wrenching - to be honest I didn't know...
Put the boat back in the water after being out for nearly a year. Had to put in a new trim and tilt unit. Put the engine on muffs and started it up and was okay - but didn't see it peeing - but water was coming out of the prop - ran it for less than a minute. Next day I put her in the water...
finally getting my boat and motor back in the water - however, am having a difficult time reinstalling the front cowl release mechanism - can't figure out how to set up and install the spring ie where does the flange go to set up the tension for the release - has to go somehow to the part that...
Took me almost 3 months to knock out the tri lobe pin - finally got it out. Ordered a second hand Merc Trim and Tilt unit and wasn't able to even test it for 6 1/2 months. Finally got to do a test on it and it works but there is a problem. Just had it upright on the ground by the trailer and...
Ok bought this used tilt and trim replaced motor need to check pump one screw (always one) seized but think I get it out - maybe lol - think the orings in the ram trims need replacing tried a cheap spanner - cap no move - watched a video using the mercury Spanner a socket wrench and a 3 ft...
thanks for your help - I found a used unit on eBay that looks like it will work - now I just have to get the tri lobe pin out and get the unit out - put my new motor and pump in the used unit and install it. Seems like no matter which way I have gone with this I just keep running into road...
hadn't heard of doing that - I had drilled it through and got a stainless steel valve into it after having to drill a bit more to get it in almost flush but still leaks - haven't drilled it oversize - would a machinist know what I was talking about if I showed them the unit and explained what I...
