    Nothing but whine from control box

    I posted in another thread that I too was getting a high pitched whine yesterday when I went to start my motor but I thought it had to do w/ a dead battery since it was pretty low. Well I charged it overnight and tried again today at lunch and I get nothing but the whine when I turn the key. It...

    Merc 650 fuel leaks

    Ok after bringing my 1973 Mercury 650 back from the dead I seem to have several fuel leaks. I got the motor running but only buy spraying fuel into the carbs so I'm sure I'll need to pull the carbs and clean them if not rebuild them. The leaks I'm getting appear when I use the primer bulb and...

    1980 Mercury 70 hp fouling plugs

    I'm going tomorrow to look at a new motor for my boat. It's a 1980 Mercury 70hp that the guy says was fouling the #1 cylinder. He says the marine shop told him it needed carb work and timing adjustment. What causes plugs to foul. He's asking $400 for it.

    Boat Seat Mounting ?

    I'm restoring a 1973 Thundercraft tri-hull that I bought w/o seats. There's the outline of where the old back to back lounge seats went but exactly how does one go about mounting new ones. Are they bolted in place or just glassed in place?

    All I get is "click".

    I just got a 1973 Thundercraft tri-hull w/ a 65HP Mercury on the back with no spark. By just looking at the outside condition of the distributor cap I'm pretty sure that's the problem but since the cheapest one I can find is $125 for a used one and $225 new since they're discontinued I want to...
