The neutral safety switch in my Mercury side-mount remote control (looks like MERC 881170A 1) is giving me troubles.
Symptom is that its sporadically acting like it's in F/R when in N, probably 1 out of 5 starts. I can "fix" the problem by moving the shifter (in, then out of gear) or hitting...
Hi Folks!<br /><br />I plan to install an aftermarket water temperature sender on my 1990 Merc 60hp (temp isn't standard on this motor). I need to know:<br /><br />1. Where the "block plug" is that I'm supposed to remove to install the sender (not obvious from looking at the motor; seems like...
Hi Folks!<br /><br />I'm getting 44 mph on my homebuilt Rascal (see link below) using a new 10R17 (Michigan Wheel) on a '90 Merc 60hp, WOT 5500 rpm. I'm pretty happy with this performance, except for the fact that the designer pushed the prototype (in 1989) to 52 mph with essentially the same...
I suspect that this is where I discover yet again that what I'm looking for is another add-in (like the trim sender...)<br /><br />I'm not finding the wire for the temperature sensor on my 1990 60hp Mercury, which I suspect is because there is none. I see "temperature switch" but not a *sensor*...
My 1990 Merc 60hp "sags" slowly when in just about all up positions. I've heard that this could be due to the O-rings in the trim cylinder leaking. <br /><br />Trim otherwise works fine up/down. Motor was rebuilt in spring '04 (before I bought it), maybe they missed this...<br /><br />Thanks!
When I trim it up it sags back down over a period of minutes. This doesn't seem normal! Does it need to be bled, or is there some other problem?<br /><br />The motor was rebuilt this spring, before I bought it...
What is the correct PART NUMBER for a trim sender for a 1990 Mercury 60hp ELPT? As noted elsewhere in this forum, the trim sender is an after-market part, even with the power trim...<br /><br />Thanks!
Hi!<br /><br />Doing an installation on a new boat; trying to complete the trim sender wiring. <br /><br />I'm trying to reconcile the wiring diagram(s) in my Seloc manual with what I *see* in the motor. I found the trim control wires no problem (they are bundled together and ended near where I...
