Perfect. Then I'll pull the trigger. My old control's buttons are getting stubborn.

My lower unit used to do that, but after adjusting the shift cable at the engine, it went away.

Hey there, My 4-blade Aluminum prop got a hit and bent the tip of one of the blades (nothing serious). I got this SS prop from a friend with similar specs, but the barrel is slightly smaller than the Aluminum propeller at the base; 3/8~1/2 inch less in total diameter. Everything fits...

I didn't. I haven't seen the control in person. Is the black circle with the Merc logo a button? I've seen a few videos where it's referred to as the cover to the nut that holds the handle in place.

I think it won't work. Newer controls do not have a throttle-only button. I can't cold-start my carburated engine without it.

My boat is Alpha one gen 1, the donor is Alpha one gen 2.

Hi, has anyone switched the conventional (old model) throttle control with the slighly the newer version? Will it all work the same? Wire connectors and Cable terminals. From this model (early 90s): To this (2000s): The newer model is intalled in a to-be part-out 2005 Baylines BR 190 (5.0...

Now that I can accurately measure the fuel consumption, I'm impressed with the fuel economy of this 3.0 engine. Went out two days in a row, boating for at least 3 hours every day (a mix of cruising and idle speed)...it used only 1/4 of the tank. wow. It's much more efficient than I ever thought.

Yes. I replaced it today with the vertical style (wema), and what a beauty. Like you said, no more guessing, no more worrying. In the end, I didn't empty the tank. At this point, I'm confident the tank's label is fine. Yesterday, I filled up the tank and used approx 20 liters (based on...

0L375837 > 0L341000. Thanks. Adjusted it accordingly.

Regular fuel. Nothing has changed. 'm just going to check the timing proactively. Question is, is 1 btdc or 2 ATDC?

I know this is an old thread. Let me know if a new one is required. Revisiting the timing topic (I'm going to make sure it's all good after 3 years), I wonder if I misread the manual. If I strictly follow the serial break of manual 26 page 222, my engine should be 2 degrees ATDC (note #4), not...

That's quite methodical approach. I always fuel before every trip, no matter if I know it will only take a few gallons.

Thank you. This idea pushed me to get that sender out...got all scratched up.

Yes I have the upward loop and the vent. When it fills up, if I keep pumping, gas comes out of the vent. In fact, when filling up at the gas station, I always put paper towel directly below the vent..in case it spills.

Not from outside...tank is literally burried. I could if I stick the measure tape through the sending unit hole. But the tank is v shaped at the bottom so not sure how to work that out.

Lol. Quebec labelling. Yes, if the tank takes 23 gallons or so after emptying it out, I'm happy with that.

Ok...thanks all for your help and comments. I was on the lake pulling the tube. Lol. With lots on patience I managed to get the sending unit out. I'm not an expert but I think is shot lol...pictures. I'll get it replaced. Second, from the sending unit hole I can see the pickup line and I...

My boat has an under deck aluminum fuel tank. The label on the tanks indicates a capacity of 98 liters (25g), but I noticed that when the boat runs out of fuel, I can only fill it back with ~60 liters (16g). Is there any chance the label is incorrect, or is it the fuel pickup line too short...

It would appear the spring that pushes the needle to the left snapped, allowing the needle to swing freely...I haven't seen it moving, maybe it got stuck at the bottom of the gauge. I'm guessing there is no way to repair these gauges.
