    2014 Mercury 115 Four Stroke - Beeping while sitting in the garage

    Anyone know why I would get intermittent beeps while my boat is not being used (sitting in the garage)? I checked my owner's manual, and I did not even see a legend of what different beeps would mean. The beeps have been at random times, lasting up to 1 minute and occurring approx every 10...

    2014 Mercury 115 four stroke idling rough

    Can it be as simple as adding a can of seafoam to the fuel? I've never used it. Will this possibly cause a fouled plug? I almost always run ethanol-free, but I have put fuel with 10% ethanol in when I couldn't find non (no more than 10 gallons at a time). My motor probably has 50 hours on it...

    Prop fit - is it supposed to fit smoothly with the foot?

    I'm putting on my new Trophy Plus 13-3/4 X 19 2014 Mercury 115 hp four stroke. I've tightened the nut borderline too-tight and it isn't pulling the prop secure to the foot. The first 3/16" of the prop is now inside the foot, but I thought it should fit almost completely against it. It still...

    Stern Light Not working, have power and new bulb

    I have a 2005 bass boat and the stern light just stopped working. I replaced the bulb, even though it looked ok. I used a circuit tester and it lit when I touched it to the male prong that goes into the light. Could this be a grounding issue? Is this strictly related to my light fixture? I...

    Shifter wire disconnected?

    My boat will not start (89 mercruiser 5.0LX). This happened before and it was determined that a wire was disconnected from the shifter. I believe it causes the boat to think it is in gear. I found the disconnected wire and I attached it to something - but it doesn't start. Is there a diagram...

    89 5.0 Power Steering Pump - Find Part

    Hello, can anyone help me find a cheap power steering pump that might come with studs and the pulley? The new Mercruiser part is over $500. I know you can buy the "almost exact" same part at an auto retailer for about $50. I did this in fact, but it did not come with studs or a pulley. I...

    89 5.0 Mercruiser pulley locked up - need part ID

    The other day I was on the lake and something was rattling along with my belt squeeling. I believe this led to my problems. I had changed the altenator belt (the one in the back) a few weeks before and in the process took off the front belt (the power steering belt?). After reading some...

    06' SeaRay w/ 4.3 Mercruiser loses power

    My friend has a newer Searay with the 4.3 Mercruiser. When taking off, it will plane out, then suddenly lose power. It will come to a complete stop. Then, you can restart the engine, take off again, and everything is fine. This happens sporadically, but most often when taking off after the...
