    2000 4 stroke won't go round and round yamaha

    I have a new to me 25 h.p. long shaft 4 stroke that doesn't want to go past top dead center with the electric start. I pull the plugs and turns over with no problem. With plugs in it goes one full turn and it appears the compression stops it from going further. Compression is about 125 btw...

    trying to verify #1 tdc

    1980 Mercury 115 tower of power. I'm gearing up to do the "synch and link" procedure i've been reading about. I'm working on verifing that the number one cylinder is topping out at tdc. It doesn't seem to be anywhere close. I'd guess its about 100-120 degrees off. (why is this Capt Ron")...

    Tower of Power went poop

    So here 's the deal. I bought this boat 4 month ago.. It has a 115 mercury. I think around a 1980 model. I ran some good gas to it and it started up. The water flow was minimal so i didn't run it long. I checked compression and it was all at around 120. I started it up again 3 weeks ago for a...

    Looking at inflatables

    Hi, new to this site but have been in boating for a while. I own a large catamaran and dinghy out to it daily. I now own 4 inflatable boats and have been around them long enough to have an opinion. Personally i wouldn't own a pvc fabric one. Especially in a hot climate. Their lifespan is...
