    1994 Force 40hp water jack nylon plug

    Ok, kind of a unique situation and trying to remedy what I have done so far. The nylon plug on top of the water jacket was broke and pretty much flat. I wanted it out so I drilled an appropriate size hole right in the middle after tapping and was going to use a screw extractor to get it out...

    Someone wired the trim motor directly to a switch. I want to rewire it correctly. It has nothing inside the cowl for tilt and trim. Is this something I can wire in the battery compartment? And can someone help me on how to do this? I know I’ll need a breaker and two relays. Any and all help...

    1994 Force (Mercury) 40hp

    Just bought a boat and it has 94 force by mercury on it. The only trim that works is a rocker switch on the dash. The throttle handle has a switch but doesn’t do anything. What would I need to check to get that working? Also there are the two green and blue wires inside the cowl that aren’t...

    Reverse lock on 2002 Johnson 25hp gone

    I just bought this motor and the assembly and linkage is gone. It does have the bottom piece that locks on the trim bar. But I do not have an option to easily unlock the motor to raise up, or run it in shallow mode where it would kick up if it hit a stump or something. Can I rig a pull rope...

    1992 Johnson 25hp

    I am trying to explore the culprit of my oil leak around the prop. Its not unburned gas mix, I can tell by the color and the smell. I resealed the lower unit completely two years ago when I first got the motor because it leaked around the prop. In that process it was evident it was the large...

    Battery for starting 25hp motor

    would a lawn mower battery work for starting a 25hp motor? I already have two batteries in my boat and they are located towards the middle of the boat. It would be a huge hassle to run thick enough wires through the way I have the boat setup. I was just wondering if a small lawn mower or...

    Bearing cage removal - 1992 Johnson 25hp

    When I pull the prop I see the bearing cage. I see oil leaking from the outside of the bearing cage. To pull it off do I use the threaded holes there up close to the prop with a puller, or do I have to undo the two bolts down in the lower unit also. I want to free it to replace the bearing...

    I just acquired this motor. I noticed some lower unit oil leaking in between the prop and lower unit. I was just looking for opinions, when you guys see this, do you go ahead and reseal the whole unit? I dont have a manual yet, but was wondering if you take the prop nut off and prop, is it...

    1979 Evinrude 35hp Wire question

    I took it all apart to clean the carb and when I was putting it back together I ran into a very short ground (black) jumper. It ran from the bolt that holds on the gas receptor on the outside of the bottom motor cover, and then to the bracket that holds the starter? Is this right, I have tried...

    Just got this motor and it needs a carb overhaul. Obviously the starter bracket has to come out first and I can't figure out for the life of me how to get that bracket loose. There is a couple of bolts and then a stud with a nut. There is a bolt behind the solenoid that is impossible to get...
