    Mercury's New Outboard

    Imagine hanging a VW Beetle off of the back of our boat. I agree 7marine was ahead of the game.

    Mercury 2+2 introduced?

    I had my 125 2+2 motor for 15 yrs. I propped it to hit 5250 rpm and never had a problem with it. I used it for skiing tubing and fishing and never had a problem with the transition

    merc 25 hp 1982 2 stroke wont idle

    If you turn the low speed screw and nothing happens your carb is probably dirty. Soak it and blow it out with compressed air.

    82 johnson 140

    I do not believe Wisco pistons have the ring breakage problems. They do not use the same style ring as the OEM piston

    Johnson 115 v4 60 degree

    Get a factory manual. When you cleaned the carbs did you do the calibration pockets.

    Tell me about my 1980 70hp Evinrude E70elcsa

    Your measurement means nothing. The important measurement is from the top of the transom to the cavitation plate. You have a 20" motor on a 20" transom nothing wrong there. That is what motors look like when they are mounted correctly.

    Is a 2010 Tohatsu 90 TLDI the same as a Mercury of any type ?

    Pretty sure Tohatsu licenses Optimax technology and calls it TLDI. So there might be some crossover on parts.

    Mercury 9.9 propshaft removal from bearing carrier

    The OPs lower was built in 86 not recently. It was a junk design from the beginning. It was meant for 6 and 8 hp motors anything bigger and they started getting torn up.

    Tell me about my 1980 70hp Evinrude E70elcsa

    Put up a pic of the back of the boat. The propshaft 7" below the pad sounds right. Shaft length is measured from the transom hook to the cavitation plate, not the prop shaft. Exhaust cover gaskets like to leak on that motor, look for water intrusion in the cylinders. Normal to be trimmed all...

    Mercury 9.9 propshaft removal from bearing carrier

    It does not surprise me at all that shaft looks like that. The 9.9 Mercury does not have the most robust lower unit, Frail and easy to damage. McCulloch never made a 9.9.

    1958 SCOTT 60 HP FUEL PUMP

    Those were never sold with the electric fuel pump. They were shown having as having one, I believe that was a typo because that was the same time McCulloch bought them. I think Scott may have wanted an electric fuel pump but McCulloch changed that. I have an early 58 that actually say...

    Leaking case halves/Crankcase

    Sounds like it was not torqued correctly. If you used loc tite 518 it needs 24 hrs to set up without primer.
