    Can I bypass oil injection?

    Hey guys I bought a boat with a ‘94 Mariner 50hp that has oil injection. Just tested it out motor runs great.

    Got electrocuted when touching cylinder?

    I just got this boat with the motor a couple months ago but I’m guessing it’s all old. The motor runs and idles great. I’ll have to take a look at the wires but I’m guessing that’s the most likely option is that they’re old.

    Outboard motor starter stops cranking?

    I took the starter off I didn’t see anything wrong with it but when I ran it on the lake it pissed water good so why you say to replace the impeller? I just completely disassembled and cleaned the carbs the other day. The puddle is gas. When I let go of the key and turn it again it’ll do it...

    Got electrocuted when touching cylinder?

    I obviously don’t know much about electricity. You think there’s a ground issue like you mentioned?

    Got electrocuted when touching cylinder?

    Yes but I should be be able to touch the cylinder head without getting shocked right? So something must be getting shorted out with the coils or spark plugs?

    90hp Mariner doesn’t start

    All cylinders ranged from 123 to 130psi for compression while 125 was the average id say. They all got spark as well. Cables to battery look good and are tight as well as on the motor. I don’t have anything to test the battery with though. When I bought it he somehow fired it up first try. He...

    Motor revs up but doesn’t go anywhere?

    I think it could be the prop I just thought it was odd that the shaft will turn in gear since it wouldn’t in reverse. I’ll do a test and confirm if it’s slipping.
