I guess I could be flooding it. Not sure. It doesn't have choke plates, it just the enrichment passage. Are you saying that it's possible that the enrichment valve is working, but the fuel is not getting into the carb because that passage is clogged? I haven't thought about that. I've had...

I have a 2003 Mercury 90/65 jet. I bought it used from a dealer and have been pretty happy with the motor. I got it last summer and the first time I went to the river with it. I drained the battery trying to get it to start. Went back the next day and finally, it started up. After starting...

Here are a few of the paint progressions. The bottom pic was how it started, the top is the finished product.

Sorry I haven't updated, but I've been busy. I moved the motor down one hole and it made a world of difference! It jumped on plane immediately and topped out around 30mph. I'm too low now though I was getting tons of splash back onto the back deck. I built a splash plate and installed it the...

Is there any chance i hurt my motor sucking air? If i drop it one bolt hole, ill be dropping it somewhere between 3/4" and an 1".

I have a small problem with my outboard jet boat build. I just finished putting aluminum decks on it and received my custom aluminum hatches this week. My compartment on the passenger side from deck for my trolling battery is big enough for a group 27, which I bought. But once I put the hatch...

I've searched all over for a write up or pictures from where someone has done it, but haven't found anything. Anyone know of a resource?

Just curious what the options are and how exactly its done. My transom is rotten and needs to be replaced, so curious how that will fit in with building it up for the jet.

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum, but hoping to get some help here. I did my first outboard jet build about 5 years ago and really loved it. I sold the boat, but now that my son is old enough to get out and enjoy the river, I'm wanting another one. I've been shopping for about a month with no...
