    I'm getting ready to reassemble my Mercury powerhead. It calls for Mercury products in the shop manual but they are allways too expensive. What are the equivilent products that I can find at any parts store. I need the needle bearing assembly lube that needs to be gas soluble and the sealent for...

    white wire on trigger fried. What is the trigger?

    On my 1986 75 HP 4 cyl. with CD ign. #A199493. While I was tearing it down for a rebuild I found a wire fried. I traced it to what the shop manual calls the "trigger". All 4 wires from the trigger go to a connecting block but I don't know what that particular wire connects too from there. I'm...

    I'm ready to lift the powerhead off. Can I rent the I-bolt and flywheel puller or?

    Took a while to remove all the exterior parts & wires, but I'm ready to pull it. Do I have to buy the eye-bolt and puller or do marinas often rent them? IF I can't rent them, where's the best place to buy and what do the usually cost[roughly]? Thanks again, Karl.

    Guess I will need rebuild. What else should i do while I'm buildling the powerhead?

    Took a while but I was able to remove the exhaust cover plate without removing the lower cowl or figure out how to remove the shifter bracket on my 1986 75HP Mariner. I found the top cyl. is scored and one ring is stuck, so I guess after all that, I will have to rebuild. Other than water pumps...

    how do I lower/raise the lower cowl on 1986 75 Mariner to get at shifter bracket?

    Hello again, I have removed all but the 2 lowest bolts on the exhaust cover on my 1986 75HP Mariner #A199493. I might be able to get all the bolts out but the shifter bracket is about 1/16" in front of the exhaust cover. IF I can get all the bolts out of the exhaust cover, I will have about...

    how to remove exhaust cover from 86 75HP Mariner

    Hello again, A few months back I asked about low compression in my 86 Mariner 75HP. I believe several suggested I pull the exhaust cover and check the rings to make sure they just weren't stuck and check everything for wear. Now that nasty winter is finally over, I thought I'd take a look. I...

    Hello, I have an 1986 - 75hp Mariner that I have owned sence 1986. I only use my boat for fishing and I am in an area that has mostly electric motors only, so I've rarely used the motor but when I did, it allways started and ran great. Last year it wouldn't start. A marina said the compression...

    how hard is it to switch lower unit from jet to prop? Can it be done at all?

    Thanks for the info on what can be done to improve performance of my brother-in-laws jet drive. Apparently, not a lot. Again, it is a 2003 or 05[can't remember] 50 hp Suzuki jet. It has very few hours and is in excellent shape. He lives a mile aways from a wide shallow river that his jet is...

    What makes a power trim spacific to one engine & would trim help on a jet drive?

    Hello, Sorry, but I tent to ramble, so be prepared. New here but I have a few questions about my brother-in-law's boat. He has an 2005 50HP Suzuki jet drive on his 18' jon boat. It doesn't have power tilt/trim. We had it on a large body of water and for the most part, it worked fine. If it got...
