    Plumbing schematic for 1990 Hydra sports 2200 DC-V

    Re: Plumbing schematic for 1990 Hydra sports 2200 DC-V That is pretty much what I was thinking about doing, but the bottom of the livewell sits beneath the waterline already. The livewell is in the floor at the stern of the boat. It has a pump to pump water out of the livewell. The boat has an...

    Plumbing schematic for 1990 Hydra sports 2200 DC-V

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone had a plumbing schematic for this boat? I'm just trying to figure out how it was set up originally. Right now my livewell drains into the bilge, but that can't be right. While the boat is sitting on the trailer I have to leave the livewell plug out so it doesn't...

    225 Mercury 4 stroke rumbling noise and low idle

    I have a 2003 225 Mercury 4 stroke that seems to have a low idle problem. The motor runs fine at all speeds except when idling in gear it makes a rumbling noise and runs rough like it wants to stall. If I bump the throttle up a little bit it smooths right out. The rumbling noise kind of reminds...

    Anyone want to take a crack at this one?

    Hi I have a 2003 Mercury 225 4 stroke (Yama-Merc) that I just bought used and put on my 1990 22' Hydra Sports. I took the old motor off, drained most of the premix fuel except for about 10 gallons and added about 60 gallons to the tank with fresh fuel. When throttling up it just bogs down and...

    Motor blew up, converting to 4 stroke question

    I am removing an old 150 2 stroke evinrude that threw a rod, and replacing it with a 2003 225 four stroke Merc. My question is, how clean does the fuel tank need to be before adding straight gasoline to it? I mean, do I need to pull the tank out and clean it somehow, or will pumping out the old...

    Breaking starter bendix gears like crazy!

    I have a 1990 Evinrude 150 that is chewing up bendix gears. I've put three different starters on in the last two months. The third starter actually only lasted 2 trips. The first time out with it the nut and bushing that hold the gear on flew off. I thought maybe the factory just didn't tighten...

    Water in Cylinder, wet plug

    I have a 1990 Evinrude V6 150. I've been having trouble when starting the motor whether it's hot or cold. I found that the primer solenoid handle had a small crack in it and was leaking fuel, so I rebuilt that. Once I get it started it will idle for a while then die when I try to put it in gear...

    Question about exhaust

    86 Sea Ray Seville with a v6 Mercruiser Alpha 1 I was idling my engine on muffs today and noticed that there was water coming from the exhaust hole in the center of the prop. I know the water usually comes from the holes on the gimbal housing when its idling, but never noticed it coming from...

    Mercruiser stiff steering and wandering

    Hi I have a 88 Sea Ray with a 4.3 liter V6 Mercruiser and Alpha 1 Outdrive. The steering is really stiff all the way through the entire rotation. Feels the same if the engine is running or not. Power steering pump is full, belt is tight, and it's rack and pinion at the helm. My first thought...
