I have a 1998 Mercury 4 Stroke Bigfoot (Carburetor) 50 ELPT 4 S - Serial Number 0G621113. I believe I need to replace the Impeller because even though it spits out water, the warning alarm still comes on when idling for more than 2 minutes. Seems like it may not be moving enough water at idle...
So, I took my boat out for the first time yesterday after putting it all together and boy was it an adventure!! Luckily I had my 1959 Evinrude kicker motor to get us back in. To make a long story short, my 1986 90hp Mariner outboard started and ran, but did not want to idle very well after it...
I have a 1986 Mariner 90 hp 6 cyl outboard that I had up and running till I disconnected the battery cables and harness to re-route them. It no longer turns over? I thought it may be the "Starter Solenoid" since that was the most likely thing, so I removed it and tested it from some internet...

After stripping the carpet out, and scraping the deck and sanding the junk off, there are some screw holes that need to be filled, some slight cracks (stress cracks?) some air bubble type holes in the...

The Serial #A150498
Here is one pic of the top spark plug with water coming out of it(kind of hard to see)?
The second pic is the hose connection at the top of the engine where the water come out as well. That connection leaks a...
I recently purchased this used motor and while starting it with a hose connected i saw water coming out of the upper Spark Plug hole on 1986 Mariner while running? Is that common?
I just recently bought a 1986 Mariner 90 hp outboard with Quicksilver controls. Can you tell me what model controls these are as well as a where a few of the wires that are outside the harness go??
There are two wires, one Purple and one Black, cut the same length? Is that for the speedometer...
