    50hp mercury leaking water above the cavitation playe

    Funny thing about this outboard is if it sits up more than a week it seems to run like crap. I have to pull all 4 carbs off, clean them and then reinstall them. I do not know why. I use ethanol free gas now with Lucas Marin fuel treatment. I have tried sta-bil. Nothing will get me past two...

    New control box for a pontoon

    I have a mercury 3000 classic. I need the throttle only button to do engine warm ups, and per my manual it’s the only way to do a compression test. My button will no longer allow me to send the throttle lever forward. I am looking for a replacement for the control box. This is a flush mount on...

    Outboard height

    I think so. Now my rps are at 5200 at wot instead of 5800 all the time. So Now it time to look for a new prop to gain some rps to get in the wot range for this outboard.

    Outboard height

    I lifted my outboard today and it seems to be running smooth and turning on a dime for a pontoon. Video attached. Please check it out to see if this is the way it should look

    New prop for my boat

    I understand. Now that I know that I’m not just hitting the rev limit every time I am crossing a large body of water the prop is not that big of a deal. I need to get the rooms repairs first. Last night I was looking and some idiot put a screw in the bottom of both toons. I pulled them out and...

    New prop for my boat

    I am going to try to lift it up and give it a try. It depends on if my cherry picker can get that high. And yes the prop is a little beat up I was doing some shallow water fishing and I bottomed out and had to use my trolling motor to get me out

    New prop for my boat

    I’m looking for a few more mph and I want the right prop for my boat. I took it to a marina about an hour away. They did not have any props in stock for my boat but he did say that my cavitation plate was way too low and lifting my outboard a few holes would not help. That I needed to reposed...

    New prop for my boat

    I spoke with a mercury technician and he said the rev limiter is 5800 rpm and I needed to at least move up to a 12 pitch. When I read the manual it says pontoon us a 11 pitch but for boats that is under 3000lbs use a 13 pitch. My pontoon is 2300lbs. I do not know I am confused it I go up to an...

    New prop for my boat

    I wish I could. I only have tracker boats and they are no help. They sold me this one. The do not have anything to try out. I hate being in a small town. I have called every shop within a 1 hour drive and get the same answer. No props to try out and if I install it it’s mine. This makes no sense...

    New prop for my boat

    My boat is only set up with a max hp of 90. And I was thinking that another 10k for maybe a few mph is not worth it. I had thought maybe my outboard was bad took it to the shop and they said it was in great shap. carbs a re tuned and adjusted and the compression is 120 on all 4.

    I have a 1996 sun tracker bass buggy signature series pontoon boat. I purchased used. It did not have a prop on it when I got it. It has a mercury 50hp 4 stroke Bigfoot outboard. It is the one that basically has a Yamaha block and mercury everything else. It is a carved model with 4 carbs...
