    1998 90 ELPTO Poor Acceleration & Performance Under Load -->Idles Perfectly

    Serial # OG722004 Motor starts perfect and idles great but is very sluggish to accelerate and definitely isn't running perfect under load. Boat has a tough time reaching 40-MPH when it used to be no big deal. I spent a couple hours researching the forum and I would like to rule out any...

    Hey guys- The tilt tube on my 1998 Merc 90 corroded which caused me to upgrade to the baystar hydraulic steering. The starboard side of the tilt tube is in great shape but the port side is really pitted/swollen to the point that I'm unable to insert the port side shaft for the baystar kit. I...

    Going from 1996 mercury 40-HP to 2003 40-HP mercury big foot

    Hey guys this is probably a dumb question but I changed the outboard on my pontoon and need to reprop it. If it was propped perfect with my 1996 2-cycle mercury 40-HP will the same pitch/dia work with the 2003 four stroke 40-HP Bigfoot? Thanks!

    1995 25 HP merc idols/revs but dies in gear

    This motor has been to hell and back and allowed me to catch some huge fish along the way. Has always run perfect but now starts right up like usual (and revs just fine) but dies as soon as I go to put it in forward or reverse....like someone pulled the kill lanyard. I tried pumping the bulb...
