    1994 Mercury 40HP 2 stroke outboard overheating

    I am having the same issue with a 1981 50hp Mercury. at idle there's water coming from the pee hole but it's very warm. at higher RPM's it's like the exhaust overpowers the water pressure and forces the water down the tube. I may start a post of my own if I don't see any response on yours

    I'm kind of noticing that. I pulled apart an 85hp for the shift rod parts I need that are suppose to interchange. I definitely couldn't do anything with the linkage rod until I pulled the power head off and out of the way

    1971 135hp tower of power upper shift shaft coupling destroyed!!!

    a customer dropped off his boat after successfully changing out the water pump impeller. the reverse locking (43308t1) cam fell out of place so there was nothing keeping the shift shaft centered, which broke out during assembly. Now, how does a person go about making this repair without pulling...

    I am working on the family PWC, and am wondering what the torque specification is on bolting down the fuel injectors again. they seem like 1/4 inch bolts that bolt down to the cylinder heads. I just don't want to shift the heads out of whack by over tightening. thank you in advance

    Force T&T leaking down 856X8A

    I've been working on a 1988 85hp Force motor with a T&T that keeps bleeding down with no exterior leaks. I did put the new Tecumseh/B&S rubber needle valves seats in today, but still the same outcome. T&T is settling....sometimes all the way, but sometimes it'll settle like 2 inches and then...

    YAMAHA 200TLRP

    So, I'm trying to pull a bent prop shaft out of a 1991 200hp Yamaha motor. I've got the bearing retainer out, and removed the shift shaft and the water pump assembly, but the prop shaft just won't come out. it'll come about 1/2 inch and stop. I can push it back in fine, and pull out 1/2 inch. am...

    1974 40hp Evinrude 40455s engine not reaching WOT

    I purchased another 1974 40hp Evinrude motor that does not reach peak RPM's. it will idle so slow, you can count the number of flywheel teeth, and it starts on dime! I put in new spark plugs, and they're burning clean and dry. my thoughts are the power head is in excellent shape. I've readjusted...
