    1988 125 hp Force rebuild

    Good luck in your rebuild I've been in mine for almost two years now, I went the short way put everything together just by honing the cylinders and changing pistons and rings got 105-115 psi after that in all three cylinders so I think that was it, but when tried it in the lake I couldn't get...

    Inspecting 2002 Tracker 125 HP Outboard

    Went to see the boat, nice looking upholstery and seats in decent shape for its age, the owner did take us for a ride I was able to test it, motor started rough but once warm worked good easy 40-42 mph. I checked for gear lube and there was no water and not milky so I guess it's ok, bilge pump...

    1978 50hp Mercury timing and synchronization

    So I've searched used parts in ebay just to see if that screw is present, and I don't see it now I think somebody put it there, maybe with a reason, but I dont think it is design intent. I will remove and see what happens... hopefully I dont break anything. Still the manual doesnt tell me what...

    How can I make my Tracker 40 HP faster?

    About the trim position, make trials in different possitions, I always used the same position in my boat and got 25- 26 MPH out of my 50 HP outboard, just by changing the trim possition to 1 higher place it jumped to 29 MPH, it was a quick easy fix, but something I didn't tried in 18 years...

    1978 50hp Mercury timing and synchronization

    Hello does anyone knows what this screw is for? I don't see it in the service manual that I have, the issue with this screw is that when trying to push full throttle it hits the bar in the picture and the carburetor can't go WOT, is this screw from design, how come I doesn't show on the manual?
