    Over heating 40hp

    1994 Mercury 40hp 4 cylinder, 2 stroke with oil injection. Overheats and no water at idle to about 4 mph soon as I give it gas I get water flow. I ordered an impler and will put it in before next use. My main question is: Is this motor good at going slow? I want to troll.

    Mercury vs Johnosn

    I've had several Mercury motors in the last 10 years or so. From 7 to 150 hp. This week I'm working on a 72ish 6hp Johnson. It's the same for the most part but I feel better. Seems like it would outlast the Mercury. One thing that caught my eye this morning was the impeller on the Johnson. No...

    Help ID Year/Model of my 6HP Johnson

    I got this motor as part of another boat deal. The plate with the ID is missing from the transom clamp. Is there another place that the motor might be marked? Even a year range based on the decals would be nice. Thanks in advanced Murray

    Boat tracking....

    I've searched and can't find the answer on which way to turn the anode to make my boat trach better at speed. I have a 1973 Mercury 1150 on a 1962 19' Sabercraft. Today was my first successful run. At WOT the boat was going about 30mph, I had to hold the wheel 45* to starboard to keep it from a...

    1978 MerControl/Shifting help

    This is the control and its paired with a 1973 Mercury 1150. For reasons I can not explain I can't shift into reverse and it will not shift forward until its way to hi in RPM. In this photo the yellow is connected to the mail throttle lever and the red is connected to the small lever on the...

    1978 Mercury 1400

    Im trying to remove the exhaust leg. I seem to be stuck. What is next after these 6 nuts? My whole aim is to pull the shift rod out of this motor and as far as I can tell I will have to pull the power head to do that. I bent the rod and wrecked the female spline in the motor on my boat. This is...

    1973 Merc 1150 shift rod

    How do I remove/replace the shift rod? The female end of the spline that connects to the lower unit is messed up and I can't get the two together. I see what looks like a drift pin at the top of the rod where is connects to the shift linkage. Can I just punch that out and pull the rod out the...

    MerControl and How to use them?

    I have never used this control before and am not sure but think I might know. Here is a photo and (my understanding) of how to use them. OK the throttle is the big one and shift is the little one in the back. My guess is, start with throttle in up and to shift into forward just throttle...

    What size Outboard should I be looking for?

    The boat is a 1962 SaberCraft, Commander 19. The boat is 18'-4" and from what little I can find about it its 1500lbs or so. At this time it has a Mercury 1400 140hp on it. It needs all new wiring (boat and motor) so i was looking at buying something that running... It is not the original motor...

    1978 Mercury 1400 140hp

    Just picked this boat and all of the insulation on almost all of the wiring is gone or falling off. Inside the motor and from the control box. Is this normal for a neglected boat or might it have been caused by a short? None of the wires look burned. The last registration on the boat was 2003...
