    What is this thing called ?

    Going through my pile of nautical thingies and this one eludes me. Can anyone give it a name besides a thingy. It came off of a 30 foot or so Cheoy Lee. Thank you in advance.

    Yamaha cavitation plate repair

    as Cyclops says . which is why I moved to think of epoxies rather than take the time and effort to find a good aluminum welder.

    Yamaha cavitation plate repair

    Great answer . I thought on the bubbles and cavitation which is why I decided to put the plate on top instead of under the broken original . i agree with your answer . What about using JD Weld epoxy inplace of the 5200 ?

    Yamaha cavitation plate repair

    I have not seen this question asked so either it is not a good question for this forum or or or just not a good question . My plate above the prop has broken off and I am in the process of repairing it. I would prefer a painless (pay less) aproach . Paint has been removed and the metal has...

    1987 Mercury 9.9 B151689 Flywheel magnets

    In the first picture would I just slide itto the left and affix it in previously marked position ? Or in picture two would I lift it , place it as shown across from where it is in its previously marked placement ?

    1987 Mercury 9.9 B151689 Flywheel magnets

    To be quite frank I have no idea what is north and what is south on the magnets. I hate to be impulsive (like I tend to be) and just place them with epoxy and then suffer the extreme anguish of breaking it to remove and reverse it. I'll remove the old adhesive , that will keep me occupied...

    1998 Mercury 75 HP 2-Stroke RPM Issue - Possible Stator Problem?

    I hope you get her done. The processs of elimination can be frustrating but for some of us it beats bringing it to the shop and spending a whole lot of $$. Plus some of us somehow enjoy the frustration but when its fixed it is the joy of the win. Ignition issues can be difficult just the nature...

    1998 Mercury 75 HP 2-Stroke RPM Issue - Possible Stator Problem?

    1987 Mercury 9.9 B151689 Flywheel magnets

    I have included some pictures I hope which will help to clarify my lack of proper linguistics. Aparently the po glued this magnet without success. I am hoping to correct the problem. I know to clean the both surfaces removing all existing adhesives and coating. I have been ill for quite a while...

    Gas leaking out of one carb?

    You now have some experience working on your carbs. You only need to take the advice given to you by airshot. Thats it. But yes , of course debris in the jets will cause issues. You may need to address fuel before the engine issues . I hope not. Good luck.

    L/U Casing # 1647 6670 vs 1647 6670C

    No need to post pictures but thanks for offering to help me identify my lower unit. I found my lower to be called Torpedo. I am not certain it is the original but I now have the diagrams needed to continue. I am working on a 175HP 2 stroke carbureted 2:1 Ratio - 14 Teeth Pinion Gear (1) serial...
