    What Is this alarm? Mercury 2001 125hp

    I think the system works but it needs maintenance, if now the sensor is bad I would need either to fix that, change the reservoir or run with the sensor disabled, in the last scenario then I will have to think and remember about oil level anyways I still need to find out what exactly is what is...

    What Is this alarm? Mercury 2001 125hp

    If what is triggering the alarm is this sensor I will disconnect it as well, that is one more reason of my doubts about this oil mixing system.

    What Is this alarm? Mercury 2001 125hp

    Ok... According to a YouTube video it should be overheating or oil sensor, I don't think it was overheating I saw good water flow and can touch the block, oil reservoir was full maybe the sensor is badi will have to inspect to be sure.

    1974 Chrysler 135 hp limping

    Nice find! It amazes me the deals you can find on outboard in the US, I'm located in Mexico the main market of marine stuff here is in the coasts and most of the outboards are run until they completely die, in my last trip to the beach I asked a couple fishermen where I could find a good used...

    Inspecting 2002 Tracker 125 HP Outboard

    I really don't want to start messing around in this motor, system seems to work, I was just wondering if maybe just premixing the gas was possible with out bypassing or doing anything to this system.

    This motor has the oil mixing system, i have read that It Is a controversial discussion if this is reliable or not, I personally don't like the idea this might fail someday with out notice and screw up the whole motor, I have seen some videos on YouTube of people bypassing the system but I...

    Back into the 1989 85hp rebuild

    I thought about that, but then found a head at $30 USD, I just ordered that one seller claims it's flat, mine already passed an over heating years ago so I think maybe the change will also help.

    Inspecting 2002 Tracker 125 HP Outboard

    Maybe the comparison is not fair but my old Merc 50 hp with 4 cylinder trolls and idles much better than my force 85hp 3 cylinder, it simply sound and feels smoother and more even, but I'm also aware that force is not as good as Mercury.
