    Reed petals

    I am replacing the reed petals on 2008 50hp Mercury 2 stroke. What is the direction of the 3rd hole on the petal. I'm assuming it goes on the right side over the small open channel, but does on the top or the bottom? Thanks

    Cutting out and stalling

    2002 50hp Nissan NSD50A TLDI. Runs great at first then after a while, mostly at low idle it will start cutting out and eventually stall. Also at high RPMs it will start missing at the higher temp. It seems to be a fuel issue. New fuel line and primer bulb last year. Bulb is secured vertical for...

    2002 50hp TLDI. I had a little leak of gear oil coming out of the bearing carrier. Put in a new o-ring and now I see it is still sleeping out. Is there a simple fix to make a better seal around that o-ring? Thanks

    2008 Bayliner engine access

    A friend of mine that's having some health issues asked me to change the spark plugs in his 18' Bayliner. When I got to the boat and raised the dog house, it gave me anxiety 😁. With all the fiberglass surrounding the motor, how in the heck can I access the plugs. I know the side panels under the...

    Clutch dog cross pin

    I'm rebuilding gear case on 2008 50hp ELPTO. I cannot get the cross pin out of the clutch dog. Am I missing something. I thought once the retainer spring is off, the pin should just push out. Thanks

    Fuel tank

    I recently purchased a new 50hp Tohatsu outboard. Owners manual states that a 25L fuel tank comes with the motor. I didn't receive a tank. Am I missing something or is this another example of a dealer skimming from the top.

    Cavitation

    I have a 2000 Monark Seville 240 which has the larger toons. Outboard is a 60 hp mercury with a 22" driveshaft. Transom mount is as low as it goes and I still have problems with it spinning out. I can hardly allow many people to ride up front. What is the solution to this?

    2002 Nissan 50hp. NSD50A I'm rebuilding the lower unit and to the point of assembling the water pump.

    Bearing carrier installation

    I'm installing a new bearing carrier on a 60 hp Mercury. The carrier came with 2 identical o rings. I'm having a hard time getting to seat because the outer o ring just seems too big in thickness. I am lubing and doesn't help. Any tips or ideas?

    Prop ate into gear housing

    60 hp Mercury on a rental pontoon. I put the wrong thrust washer on a rental pontoon and at the end of the week, the prop had eaten into the gear housing and now there is a 5/8 gap between the prop and the gear housing. I know it's bad. Is there any way for a cheap fix to fill that gap to...

    Cutting out at around 3/4 throttle but everything else is good.

    1996 60hp Mercury 2 Cycle outboard runs good at idle and WOT but when I pull back from WOT just a little, it will start to cut out and if left alone, will eventually stall. Then will start right back up. Plugs looked ok but I changed them anyways. I was thinking something associated with fuel. I...

    No response once put in gear

    2002 Nissan 50hp. Been a good running motor (so far). Starts right up everytime. Today after I put it in gear, motor had no response. Would go into gear and can move throttle but no rise in the RPMs. Prop would only run at idle speed.

    Rebuilt transom

    I'm at a loss now. I rebuilt my transom in a 92 Celebrity this winter. New wood, all fiberglassed in and looking good. I took it to the river today for a test. With it still on the trailer, I had a fairly steady stream of water coming in by the lower left (from inside) bolt. Not sure what to...
