Does anyone know where to get the replacement latch for the front anchor rope locker? It looks like it was two round discs that latch similar to velcro and hold via contact/ friction. I'd rather replace with something similar to the original rather than drilling holes and reworking the whole...
I have a 1986 Johnson 150 VRO that ran great all summer. This fall the engine would leak oil when it was tilted out of the water. It seems to run fine except for this. I checked all the hoses to and from the VRO and they do not appear to be leaking. When I removed the carb cover, there was...
I have a 1985 Mercruiser MR-200 witha 4bbl carb. I am having difficulty re-starting the engine once the engine has warmed up. The engine will start right up when cold, but when warm it has difficulty turning over and presents as though the battery is weak. Once the boat is cold it will start...
1985 Merc MR 200 runs ok in neutral and underway when slow, but once given some throttle it bogs down & dies. It will restart and stay running if feathering the trottle and will ultimjately idle 'normal' again after a short while. I am able to rev high in neutral and it will happen as well...
My 1985 merc mr 200 (5.0l GM) stalled today. It ran fine at idle and at slow speed. I ran it at about 3200 rpm for a couple minutes and it seemed to sputter a bit. I backed off and it ran rough all the way back to the mooring where it stalled. It started up no problem right after and idled...
My '85 mercruiser mr 200 (5.0l) does not seem to want to start up after it has run for a little while. It seems like a low battery as it turns over very slowly. If I wait until the next day it seems to be fine. Starter was rebuilt last year. Any suggestions?
My '85 Mercruiser MR 200 has a water leak on the port side. It appears to be coming from a plug on the cylinder head between ehaust ports 1 & 3. It looks like an allen wrench will fit it. What is this plug for and can I attempt to tighen or replace it?
My '85 Mercruiser 200 MR seems to have developed an occasional 'clank'. It seems to be coming from the exhaust elbow where the shutter is. I have never noticed this in the past...I think....Could it be that I am not yet in the water and running on muffs....so no back pressure?
I have a 1985 Mercruiser MR 200. The fuel/ water separator is located on the front stbd side of the engine beneath the circuit breaker. Is this the 'normal' location for this and would there be any issues with locating it on the side wall of the bilge near the fuel pump?
I have a 1985 Mercruiser mr-200. The trim pump will not work. It worked fine last season when I put it away for the winter. I did replace the trim cylinders on the drive this spring and replaced the oil that leaked out. It makes no noises, clicks, hum etc... Is there an easy way to test the...
I have a 1985 Mercruiser Mr 200. I recently purchased a set of used trim cylinders to replace the badly corroded and inoperable ones currently on the boat. The question is should the rams move in and out by hand when detached from the boat or will they only move when hooked up to the trim...
I am attempting to remove the trim cylinders on my '85 merc MR 200. I am having trouble removing the 2nd line from under the bell housing. The nut is starting to strip. Am I missing anything or should I keep trying?
I have a 1985 Mercruiser MR 200. The boat was not put in the water last year and not the trim cylindersare stuck. They will not move up or dowm. The trim motor will operate when the up or down buttons are puched but the rams do not move. Is there anything I can do to free them up short of...
I have a 1985 5.0 merc and was interested changing the waterpump from the lower unit to something that operates off the engine pulleys and a thru hull. Has anyone heard if this is possible/ done it? I heard or read somewhere that Bravo Drives use a similar set up.
