    Honda BF 130 - replacing corroded bolts

    3 years ago, I purchased a boat with outboard - Honda BF130 - 2003 - serial # BZBE-150xxxx. It was used in saltwater in the northern Pacific coast. I have used it for 3 summers and it has performed flawlessly. However, many of the fasteners under the engine cover are corroded and I'd like to...

    Merc 15hp 2-stroke early 90's - shift cam and shaft installation

    I'm replacing water pump, including pump base and I'm having some grief with reassembly. Following my crappy downloaded manual (first mistake) I have removed the pump base and copper water intake tube by sliding them up the drive shaft. I have pulled out the shift shaft, removed the e-clip...

    Merc 15hp 2-stroke early 90's - water pump sealer?

    I'm installing water pump kit. The original one had some rubbery sealer under the water pump base (white plastic). I can't find any reference to sealer on my cheapo service manual. Is this recommended or will just the gasket be enough? If needed, which sealer should I use? Thanks

    Broke cyl cover bolt

    Early 90's 15hp Merc 4 out of 6 bolts holding the cylinder cover are badly rusted. I tried removing one but it broke off. Before I try the others, what's the best way to remove them to avoid breaking? I've got PB Blaster and have soaked them a few times. Any other suggestions? Once I get...

    Early 90's 15hp 2-stroke power problem

    This motor starts and idles fine. When I open up throttle, it seems to run on only 1 cylinder for a minute or two. Then, suddenly, it will jump into full power and will run well until I slow it down again. Then I'll troll for awhile, and have the same problem if I want to speed it up...

    2001 Evinrude 5hp 4-stroke tell tale question

    Originally, the problem was no water coming out of tell tale. I discovered that the accelerator pump (at bottom of carb assembly through which tell tale water should pass) was plugged with salt. Now that it is clear, there is strong flow through tell tale. During this process, I had removed...

    2001 Evinrude 5hp 4-stroke won't idle

    This is a kicker motor that's on a boat that I've just purchased. It has lived in salt water. I've just done water pump kit and unplugged a blockage in cooling system (accelerator pump tube was totally blocked). Now there is very healthy stream from tell tale. I've got it running but it...

    I have 2001 5hp 4-stroke Evinrude It has an accelerator pump which appears to be driven by the water flow through the tell tale. This pump is located at the bottom of the carburetor housing. A tube runs to it from the intake housing, and another tube runs out of it to the tell tale. Can you...

    2001 Evinrude 5hp 4-stroke cooling problem

    Thanks for reading this. I'm grateful for any advice. This is a kicker on a 20' aluminum boat that I recently purchased. This has been used extensively in salt water. It has a few issues (e.g., deformed swivel bracket), but the one I'm focusing on now is the cooling. I noticed that there is...
