    Need Help with 6hp tiller gears not staying engaged.

    I have a 6hp (6R79E). The gears in the tiller (part 75 on drawing)won't stay engaged to the throttle control gear (part 73). The handle can be pulled out so that the 2 gears won't engage. I can push the handle in and the gears engage which allow me to change speeds, but this is a pain when on...

    Connecting remote throttle and shifter to 25hp Mercury

    I bought a boat that came with a Mercury 25hp 2-stroke motor (OD263427). The motor was "thrown in" and even though it runs, it was never used on this boat. The motor is strictly remote as there is no tiller or shift handle. The motor has no controller but I am about to purchase a Quicksilver...

    New to me 1993 25HP Mercury

    I bought a 13ft Whaler with a 25HP Mercury. The Mercury serial number is OD263427 which I determined to be a 1993 (I think). The motor is electric start and has no controls. Do I need to look for a specific Mercontrol or Quicksilver control box? I noticed some of the ebay boxes say they...

    I have a 1986 Evinrude 15 with electric start. I want to connect the remote cables and already have the shift connector for the motor. I know I can purchase the entire kit (0398032) but was hoping someone else figured a (cheaper) :D way to connect the throttle cable to the motor. My kill...

    Battery question--15hp electric start

    I just purchased an '86 Evinrude 15hp with electric start and need to buy a battery. I have a 11ft whaler so I'd like to buy a small battery to fit under the console. Should I look for any specific type? The manual indicates 215 CCA so I know I needs that as a min. Also, is it difficult to...

    Tohatsu 2.5 has low compression and won't start

    I got this motor for nothing and it might be worth that! It won't start. I changed the head gasket because the compression was almost zero. It now shows 60 (but this is the first time I ever did a compression test). Is the compression to low for it to start? I'd buy a carb kit if I thought...

    Question about electric start Evinrude 25

    I found what I think is a good deal on a clean '84 Evirnude 25 with electric start and remote. It was hard to look at the motor because I had to hold it up while taking off the cowling. Here's my question. The owner is the original owner and told me it's electric start but for the life of me...

    Starter Cord won't retract (2hp Evinrude)

    I have a 1981 Evinrude 2hp. My started cord won't retract without some jiggling. I read the posts on this subject and want to spray WD-40 on it but I'm concerned about removing the cover. Will the spring come apart if I remove the cover? Thanks!

    NS1582 questions

    I am looking at a Nissan 15hp (2-stroke) that has a model # of NS1582. I can't find any reference to the model on Guru's site so I wonder if I can find parts for it? Also, does any one know if the "82" is the year? The color is blue and silver, if that helps. Thanks!

    Need help with part no. of prop

    I have an '75 Evinrude 25. The original prop part # is 383629. I ordered that part number from Ebay but I received part # 315084 (the OMC box shows 383629 but the actual part has 315084 on it). I hate to send it back if it will work ok. Does anyone know the difference in these 2 props? Thanks!

    Which new prop for 11ft Whaler?

    '75 evinrude 25HP--Good motor?

    Is this normally a solid motor? I bought one but have had nothing but problems. I'm starting to think the guy who sold it to me "pieced" it together. The initial price was right (400.00) but I put another 400.00 into it when a screw got loose under the flywheel and caused damage and I cannot...
