Hi everyone,
I have an issue with my 2002 40 hp Mercury 4 stroke EFI serial number:OT523239
Basically, when I start the engine from being cold, it runs fine and I can go out for a ride, idles fine and runs good at a decent cruising speed of about 2200rpms on my 13 foot Whaler then about 15 or...
Was looking at a craigslist ad locally and found this paint and is at a good deal. Would be cool and different but wasn't sure if it was compatible not knowing exactly what bottom paint was used before on the boat.
Does anyone know anything about the application process of this kind of paint. I...
I bought an Aquasport215 Explorer and it doesn't have the stanchion for the table that goes down below in the cabin, so I was wondering where I could find one and also find the height the stanchion is supposed to be.
Thanks
Hi, my engine has been partially fixed since I had been troubleshooting it on here and I just took the VRO out and cleaned it a bit, then put it back in and works pretty good. no more surging upon acceleration!!
The problem I'm having now is that it seems to be putting too much oil into it...
My Johnson ran great until about a month ago now when it would surge when accelerating. And not go any higher than about 3000 rpm.
I ran a test today and put the engine at about 3000 revs where It starts to surge and then I pumped the primer bulb. I went back to the throttle then hit it, and...
Johnson 115 will not go fast, barely on plane, or sometimes not at all.
It will start surging, I guess you would call what it's doing.
I tried putting in a new thermostat on each side using one new one and switching guessing it would only be one or the other causing the engine to go into...

I bought this boat and engine back in May of this year and it had been running great until about 3 weeks ago. This is when I noticed how it was not wanting to go above around 3500rpm without surging.
I talked to a local mechanic over the phone, he said the to start...
I just recently got a new Sony CDX-M30 am/fm radio with 4 clarion 6.5 in speakers.
I easily installed the speakers but I want to add a sub to the system.
The stereo says it has a built in amplifier already, but is that enough to power the sub?
I'm guessing it wouldn't.
New to this kind of...
I have a shurflow pump for my raw water washdown. I havent installed it because I just bought the boat so it is new to me. The pump makes a sound like its pumping but water doesnt discharge.
It is connected to a through hull fitting in which the livewell pump is also connected. This will fill...
I just acquired a nice little walkaround boat with a 2001 Johnson 115 Ocean Pro. I was out the other day my passengers were complaining about the fumes. I wouldn't usually notice because I'm used to the two stroke smell. When they did sort of complain to me about this, I kinda thought it...
I'm having similar problems with my tach like the other guy that just posted about his recently. although I need to figure out if it is the tach that is faulty or the regulator/rectifier.
I have a Faria system check tach for my 2001 Johnson 115 Ocean Pro.
The battery in my dual battery system...
Okay, so i have an in hull tank that has been cleaned by previous owner about two years ago but haven't used it. Have been using external red tanks. Since everything is in running condition, I haven't been very busy lately and need something to do and thought this was a perfect thing to try and...
I have a problem starting this engine this year and I am very eager to get my boat in the water as it is already mid-June, so any advice will help. And all the mechanics are busy around town and need some answers.
Recently I found out there was only a spark on one cylinder and have come to...
First, does any one know what would cause this? Suspect ignition coil and or powe
r pack. How can we test before buying either since likely one or theother is the problem happy father s day
