The number came off the original sales receipt. I found it on Crowley's web site. I pulled the fuse before I removed the cover. Any ideas on the circuit board at the bottom of the picture? I am 70 years old. I paid $1500 for a 15 foot Starcraft and this outboard 8 years ago. There is no new...
Charging system not keeping up. I have been putting it on a charger after each use and pushing the inevitable down the road. My last trip out the Tach quit. The unit has low hours but the age has me questioning spending the cash for repairs. I value the input I have received from this site...
On my last trip to the lake last year I noticed my Tach not working. First trouble since I bought the old girl 5 years ago, She is an 1986 Starcraft open bow runabout with a' 96' Mariner 60 ELPTO Fix or replace? Can I do it myself or is this better left to the pros.
Your input is valuable...
My old Starcraft has a1996 Mariner 60hp ELTPO. The Tach has been working fine until last weekend. I was running wide open. Around 5000 RPM (based on past performance). the tach showed 2000 rpm and when I shut off the outboard the dial did not return to 0 A visual inspection under the dash...
It's a tin boat and the transom is not showing any signs of rot. In "86" Starcraft produced a stripped down SS that they marketed as a cheaper version of of the 16 ft. SS. No wrap around padded seats fore and aft. Only 15' 4" and a 60" beam It has a walk through windshield, a steering wheel...
I picked up this boat knowing it would need work. I opened up a raised platform next to the transom to run a new transducer cable. The floor was carpeted before the raised platform was installed and the entire cavity was filled with foam pieces. The carpet under the foam was saturated and what...
My first replacement of the impeller went so well that I began to worry about getting it right.
I dropped the lower unit into 1/2 barrel and fired her up. The pressure at the telltale was twice as strong as the last time I used it. I shut the unit off before it had time to open the thermostat...
My 96 Mariner 60 hp ran fine last fall when I put her away for winter. I ran it out of gas on the last run. Yesterday it fired right up and idled fine. I moved away from the ramp at 1/4 throttle and it sounded good. I opened it up and she went to plane fine for maybe a minute and then shut...
I am looking for any pics or original brochures showing what these new boats looked like. Looking for details. There have been changes made to the boat that I purchased in 2014. The interior is in good shape and the hull shows years of use. I can see why, I love the boat and it's pretty...
The wires to the low oil sensor were disconnected when I inspected this unit. ( it was given to me) I plugged the wires back in and after the horn test worked it started fine but the warning horn continued. I shut the outboard off and switched to a tank of mixed fuel . After starting it again I...
I can't locate a fuel filter on the motor. Am I blind? There is no inline filter on the fuel line. Do I need one? This is my first Mariner and it is running fine. I want to keep it that way. Thanks in advance for your input.
The low oil warning test would not shut off after starting on my last outing last fall. The oil tank was full and all the wiring looked good.
I have been unable to find any info on testing the sending unit and warning modulle . thanks in advance for any input . I was told that due to the...
My first boat is an 1985 Strarcraft 15ft and a !996 Mariner 60. I am ready for something bigger, We are retired and cost is big, so we don't mind an older craft. Tin vs fiberglass? What to look for. I am a carpenter by trade and can DIY on small repairs. I use some input on the no-nos of buying...
My 96 60 hp tilt unit will raise up about half way and stops. The motor begins to make to make a more high pitch sound. I can lower the
unit a little and the cylinder will raise up an inch or two, and it stops upward movement again.
The unit jerks while traveling down a little but otherwise...
