    2017 Merc 30hp EFI outboard tell tale nozzle help

    No. I appreciate the try, but that tell tale is in the middle of the back of the motor and mine is on the side. The one I need is small and will fit thru a 5/16 hole.

    What pitch prop for Carolina Skiff J14 with Yamaha15 2 stoke?

    I have tried different trim settings. Currently I have the motor trimmed as far down as it can go to try to keep the bow down. The motor is a short shaft. I might be able to raise it up about an inch to get the anti cavitation plate even with the bottome of the boat.

    I recently bought a Carolina Skiff J14 with a 2 stroke Yamaha 15 hp. With two in the boat, one in back running the tiller motor and one sitting up near the front deck, the boat will not plane.

    Timing procedure for a 1986 Mercruiser 3.0 litre with points ignition

    Just had my 3.0 rebuilt. Got the engine back in the boat and the outdrive back on. Put the boat in the water and it started right up, with a little tweaking of the distributor cap, and ran fine as far as a fella could tell. I figured I should check the timing so got a timing light (I had...

    Mercury 8hp outboard shift issue

    I have recently purchased a Mercury 8hp to use as a kicker on a boat I am restoring. When I took the motor out for a test it went from shifting a little hard to now being unable to shift it out of forward gear. This motor has the shift control integrated with the throttle control via the...
