Having issuessssssssss.<br /><br />Lowered the ...lower unit recently and replaced the impeller.<br /><br />Also rebuilt the carb...starts GREAT now. :) <br /><br />Started her up, no pee. Tried again, no pee. Shut her down after about 8 seconds on the longest try so it had plenty of time.<br...
I have a 1988 - 9.9 Mercury that was HARD to start and ran very rough when finally started then usually died. The longest I had her running was about 30 seconds but never kicked it into gear to blow the cobwebs out as I was in a trashcan in the backyard. <br />SO I decide to replace the...
I'm LOST. I've posted a few times on here and had some nice people respond, however the answers seem to be rather vague. There are a myriad of products out there and I need to know what to buy...PLEASE.<br /><br />I have a transom with gelcoat cracks that I removed in area's (say 3" x 3") to...
Guys, please HELP. I bought a useless Seloc manual that basically in two sentences says: 1. remove oil plugs. 2. remove 3 nuts and then lower unit.<br /><br />My lower unit is VERy hard to remove. At first I pryed it gently with a flat head screw driver, then wiht a slight pull down it popped...
I use the arm control now and would love to implement some sort of Steering and throttle control onto the engine that I have...anyone know what it is I should be looking for (the names of the stuff) and ABOUT how much would it cost for the controls?<br />I have NO idea what they call them so...
Dunno how the rest of you guys feel, but I was excited to get my new Seloc manual to start tooling on my engine this weekend. When I received it, I was VERY disappointed at the quality of the product I received.<br />The images are black and white's that look like they have been photocopied...

I am about to repair several holes that I routed out 1/8" to the plywood in several spots to inspect the transom. I also have several dings on the bottom middle and elsewhere that I would like to touch up.<br /><br />For the back transom, which is down to dry plywood.. (some are below water...
I have a roller system on the two ends of the boat that requires that I remove all 5 rollers and replace them...they are all VERY dry rotted. I am thinking of just removing them, and putting a piece of double carpetted water treated wood in their place...just drilling through and bolting the...
I've posted about my boat on here and now it's time to move on with some transom repair work. I have 4 , 3"x3" holes that are down to the plywood (by my doing for inspection purposes) that need covered. I want to paint the back end also once I have this all complete so it doesn't look so...
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas what Pump impeller, carb, and any other maintenance kits by sierra that would fit my engine. It's apparently a 1988 Mercury 9.9. <br />Here is the SN : OB296172 (not sure if the O is a zero or an 'oh').<br /><br />Thanks for your help guys!<br /><br />S
I looked around for boat engine stands and couldn't find any...possibly looking up the wrong terminology. Just wondering what everyone does when they work on their engines? <br /><br />I'd like to find something that will collapse down to a storable product that can also lock the engine and the...
Greetings - sure many of you have seen my other threads about my little boat project, well it doesn't end just with the boat and the trailer..<br /><br />My engine is a mid 80's Mercury 9.9 that unfortunately sat outside in the cold for 2 years (freezing temperatures reach 0 here). I assumed it...
Hey guys, I've posted a few pics in a previous topic and had some tell me to and not to inspect the transom and flooring...so today I was able to eck out a few hours on the boat, tore off the seats, bimini, tank, engine etc etc and started cutting as I felt it would be best to do at least some...
Need advice on trailering. We've never had any major problems but the boat sat for 5 years and now all of the rollers are SOLID as a ROCK! <br />My boat has white 2inch diameter rollers instead of carpeted bunks on the sides and then of course the hull V middle big rubber ones in the...
