    surging issue

    Here is something it could be. I had that exact same thing happen many years ago. My tank ended up being the issue and this is how we found out. Same symptoms. We finally hooked it up to a portable tank and it ran fine. So I pulled the intake pipe from the main tank and notice it had a screen...

    2002 Johnson 15hp 4 stroke questions

    On the pee stream tough to say....purchase a ir gun and test the head temp. Cheap buy at Harbor Freight. As for the steering swivel tension, there should be a spring over screw somewhere below the power head near the top of the swivel bracket. Part number 27

    How to manually raise 1974 Mercury 85 with power trim

    I would think you would turn the knob to the left. It might have already been in manual lift mode.

    Hydrofoil Stabilizer for Outboard Motors ?

    There supposed to make your boat plane better but I think the plastic ones are junk. I think they make aluminum ones and I believe they may work. Having two engines is your boat a dog out of the hole?

    Impeller replacement schedule

    I had one last 25 years but it was on a small outboard (8hp) I change mine about every 7 years but I monitor it closely and I do inspect it and lube the shaft more than that. How you use it and where you run it is also a factor.

    2004 F115 Regulator Rectifier Blows Every 12 Hours

    Yes, but that starts to get above my pay grade. A good manual or YouTube video should get you through that.

    70 hp rectifier wiring

    I think you will find 2 & 3 are jumped together and 4 and 5 are tied together as well. I think maybe your missing the other half of the plug that ran back to the soleniod. Is it heading that way? Again, check voltage there while running. Another thing, check for continuity between 4 and 5

    70 hp rectifier wiring

    I believe the red wire comes from the starter solenoid....that is the return path to charge your battery. Is there a red wire coming from the battery side of the solenoid? Rectifier converts ac power to DC power.

    Lower Unit Oil Leak

    The milk should have separated if it sat awhile. Did plain water come out first? Id pressure test, fix or not depending on test and run it.

    70 hp rectifier wiring

    Should just be 3 wires off the rectifier....one yellow one goes from the yellow off the rectifier to yellow under the flywheel, and one yellow/gray stripe to the yellow gray stripe....and red to red. Pretty sure that's right. Can you still read the color codes of the wires?
