    Water in Crankcase 2006 90HP Four stroke

    2006 Mercury 90 HP Four Stroke. 110 hours on motor. Took my pontoon out of the water two weeks ago and brought it home. Went to change the oil today and first looked at the oil level.Noticed it was slightly high but clean and not emulsified. Warmed up the engine and then pulled the drain plug...

    2006 90HP EFI Water Pump Housing Question.

    I bought my outboard 2 years ago. Had 70 hours on it and now has a round 130. Impeller was replaced when I purchased it. Was going to change the impeller this off season and decide to buy the whole kit including base plate and cover. Am I overdoing it by replacing all of that instead of...

    Historic Aerial Site

    Found this site and it is interesting for my area since a lot was built up in the last 50 years http://www.historicaerials.com/ One thing that occurred a couple miles from me was where the Manson family lived. Kinda cool to see what that place looked like then and where it is relative to other...

    Today is Leap Second Day

    Will be interesting to see if they fixed all the bugs from the last leap second day. Happens tonight on the 61st second at the end of the day for GMT which means during rush hour for a lot of people in the US.

    Changing oil on 2006 Mercury 4 stroke

    Did my first oil change on my 2006 Mercury 4 stroke. What do you guys do to keep the oil from going everywhere when you pull off the filter? I think next time, I am going to pierce the filter and catch as much oil as I can before I unscrew it.

    Outdrive oil

    Re: Outdrive oil Older manuals all said 30W or 10W30. None said 10W-40. This is for the V8 engines which is what the OP has. This is what current Volvo manuals say: I use Mobil 1 15W50 in my engine.

    Not the bellows leaking, so?????

    Re: Not the bellows leaking, so????? Like I said in your other thread, that gasket does absolutely nothing keeping the water out of your bellows. Gasket around the water intake also has no connection. Put some grease on the nose cone of the drive where it pushes against the bellows. That is...

    Pontoon Prop

    I have a 2006 21' Suntracker with a 90HP fuel injected Mercury that I recently purchased. I will be using the boat at a lake at 6700' elevation. Current prop is a 14 x 13P model number QA2832X13P. My plan is to bring it up to the lake to see how it works but I will likely need to drop some...
