    Looking for best 2 cycle motor

    Will keep it in mind, thanks Found a couple motors at a good price and going to go look at them Sunday. If all else fails, I'm going to put my 125 motor on the 105 leg and then hope I can find other props with more pitch.

    Bad Fuel Guage

    Remove the sender wire from the fuel gauge and the oil pressure gauge. Connect the fuel sender wire to the oil pressure gauge to see if it moves to about the same angle

    Hard starting

    To do throttle only, there is normally a button in the center of the throttle handle. Press in on the button then move throttle forward.

    Hard starting

    While it may need a tune up and filter, I don't see the need for a filter be the cause of hard starting. Either the carb is getting gas or its not. When boat is first going to start, see if the choke closes when the throttle is pumped. If it closes, see if there is gas squirting down the...

    new to winterizing inboard Mercruiser

    Yes, but (always a but) the issue is getting enough volume in the strainer. Just winterized buddies twin 454's inboards yesterday. We pulled the line off the strainers and place in a 5 gal bucket. Fill with RV AF and start motors and it pulls it thru

    NEED Stern LIFT Prop Suggestions

    All props lift the bow and the stern, the amount depends on hp to weight. More blades will create more stern lift while also lifting the bow. To much lift and porpoising happens

    5.0L 305 OMC rebuild

    Youtube same as forum can be a dangerous place to look for advice. At least forums have other poinions to advise if you get info that another thinks is incorrect. There are some good ones and some not so good. Don't see you being able to get a 5.0 to produce 360hp. Would be better to...

    Bravo 1 water pressure issues

    Is flyer2112 and skyman2112 the same person? Listening to the motor starting and it taking some cranking to get it going, can you check some voltages. Check water pressure sensor and it should be 5V on Gray wire. Measure it from block ground and also from the Black/Pink on the same sensor to...

    2003 SeaRay 200 Bowrider seized engine????!!!!

    Reflash would do it in most cases. If the OP is willing to put in the work then might get by without the reflash, but would need to do a lot of plug reading or get AFR readings from O2 sensors. Merc is know to program ECM's fat, so depends on how much load the motor has and things it will do...

    No spark 4.3 Mercruiser

    Key switch might be wired wrong Red/Purple should have 12V full time, even when key is OFF. This wire is connected to the common on switch Purple should get 12V when key is turned to run (or ON). Wire goes to kill switch then to coil and oil pressure switch Yellow/Red gets power when key is...
