    Mercury 1977 200HP with exteral Trim/Tilt motor inside boat mount.

    This thing will not fit under the floor on my 22 foot Aquasport. Actually I might be able to fit it if I cut a fair size access hole and put a access hatch in. There are two access hatches close by already and I dont think a third in close proximity is a good idea. I would rather run the...

    Yamaha binnacle for Mercury outboard

    Can the Yamaha binnacle control be used for a Mercury outboard. The wiring will be seperate. With the SX33 universal cables can or does this work? I have a Yamaha top mount binnacle I prefer to use rather than the old Mercury control box.

    Steering system .Order new cables or new system.

    Great replies and advice. I appreciate them. I will probably go with the NFB single cable. Reason being ease of installation and price. I can use a rack or rotary system as there is room for a rack . The boat ( Aquasport) had the older two cable Morse system or at least it came with one but the...

    Steering system .Order new cables or new system.

    Thanks. The Striper with the 150 also has the NFB rotary which I installed some years back. I am OK with it for the money it cost. I have no problem with the cost of a new NFB sytem for the Aquasport. The system in the Striper is rated up to a 150HP. Might the same rotary NFB system with a...

    Steering system .Order new cables or new system.

    Another project boat being refurbished. The boat is a 22.2 Aquasport which has been sitting for years and the steering cables are shot. The Morse helm uses two rack style cables which I have found after a lot of searching are quite pricey and I need both. Or do I ? The cables would be Morse...

    8HP 1997 2cyl, 2 stroke Yam

    No, on both leads it does not . The bottom lead will produce spark at 3/8" with a strong yank only once on the first revolution. The upper needs to be at about 1/4 " to show spark, again on the first revolution. The compression is 102 top and 108 bottom.

    8HP 1997 2cyl, 2 stroke Yam

    Motor runs pretty good in a test tank on two cylinnders. Its has good spark but fails a drop down test. While running I can pull the top cylinder plug wire and it will run on the bottom cylinder. The spark is strong on the top cylinder. If I replace the top cylinder wire it resumes on two...

    2006 F150TXR 0406 Regarding the Balancer

    I know its an old subject thats has been gone through. In reading I saw that this model was built without the balancer for other markets. Also I saw that some persons removed the balancer altogether to run their motor without. If anybody who has done this is browswing these threads I would love...

    Yamaha 130 has random miss at idle

    I stumbled upon this thread this evening and of course read it because I am having a similar problem which has not been diagnosed yet. Is it possible that a small amount of water intrusion would do this ? Either through the exhaust plate or head gaskets. The final reply on this thread was...

    For their price with your research it gives a better feeling to at least go with them vs the many others of unknown origin. Thank you.

    Yam F150TXR 0406 Gear shift handle assembly rod removal.

    Thank you boscoe99 . I appreciate your reply. I got involved in a couple of difficult projects at once. I am working on them all at once. A bit here a bit there, some heat here and some nut buster there. The Gear Gear Shift Assembly came out easily. I was being cautious and did not want to ruin...

    Evinrude 150 EXEOM Trim Tilt motor.

    I am looking to purchase a trim tilt motor for the above motor. The OMC number is 4344495 . In the past I have purchased an after market motor and installed it. It worked fine but I sold the motor so I cant say how it performed over time. I like the fact that it had a composite body vs a steel...

    Yam F150TXR 0406 Gear shift handle assembly rod removal.

    I am trying to remove my oil pan on this motor. This shift rod #20 on the Control parts diagram needs to be removed. The manual basically says to remove it but does not go into detail. It looks as though removing the circlip #24 under the bracket #25 may allow the shaft to come up or that...

    1965 Mercury 9.8 forward is reverse

    A freind of mine dropped off an old Mercury red band 9.8 short shaft and asked if I could get the lower unit back on and get it running. It runs badly but a carb clean should take care of that , it has a nice hot spark. The lower unit went on after fiddling with the shift shaft lining up. The...
