    03 mercury 60hp hard start, blue smoke

    Recently picked up a pontoon with a 60hp mercury 2 stroke. Doesn't matter if it's warmed up or cold it's a pain to start. Have to throttle it up around 75% to get it to start. Won't even sputter if I don't. Once it starts I get lot's of blue smoke out the exhaust and seems to be spitting out...

    89 125 won't go into forward gear

    I have an 89 125hp force that I recently bought for my pontoon. First time out it would make a clunking noise going into forward gear for a couple seconds before it locked in. Tried adjusting the linkages but didn't seem to help. Used it that way a few times was just easy on it. Tried taking it...

    89 force 125 leaking fuel from carbs

    Recently bought an 89 Bayliner for a good price. Just bought it to swap the motor onto my pontoon. So I don't know a whole lot about it. Guy said it ran but I don't know for sure. Anyway I try starting it and fuel leaks out the front of both carbs. Pulled the carbs apart and the needles looked...

    89 force 125 trim issues

    I've searched the forum and haven't real found anything with my specific problem. So when I trim up the motor won't move. Pump runs. If I lift it high enough manually the tilt cylinders will kick in and it will go all the way up fairly quick. But it will also leak down all the way to the trim...

    79 Evinrude won't shut off with key

    I have I believe a 79 Evinrude 25hp. Worked fine last fall. Now doesn't shut off with the key. Have to choke it to get it to stall. I replaced the ignition switch but that didnt fix it. I checked both wires labeled M at the ignition. Both are grounded with key on or off. Have continuity between...

    Mercruiser 5.7 misses under load

    Have an 01 rinker with a 5.7 in it. It misses under load and seems to be lacking power. It doesn't miss horribly but it does miss. Once it's on plane it's not too bad but still seems to be about 15mph slower than it used to be. I know a bit about engines but not so much about carbs and I'm at a...

    Gimbal bearing replacement question.

    I'm in the middle of replacing my gimbal bearing on an alpha one Gen 2. Got the new bearing in and I greased it. I noticed the grease is just coming out around the outer part of the bearing. Is that what it's supposed to do or is the grease hole blocked? My mark I made for the hole lines up...

    Alpha one Gen 2 trim issues

    I'm having an intermittent issue with my out drive. It doesn't always go up or down. I can hit the switch and I hear the solenoid click but the pump doesn't run. I know it's not the switch as I have a switch in the rear also and it does it with both switches. Anyone have the same issue or able...
