What's the rule of thumb to use a primer bulb in a fuel system?

I've got a new to me Mercury 125 two stroke for a project I have. That being said I'm trying to find out where the speedo hookup is. I know I can mount one on the transom like a pontoon uses but I'm under the impression that these motors had one. There's a fitting on the top of the lower unit...

What happened to the section that had all the motor manuals for members to choose from? Maybe I'm going blind but I'm not seeing it. I thought it was here in the motor section?

I've been kicking around the idea of adding a house battery to my boat to handle the electonic fish finder, a couple LED lights, radio, nav lights, bilge pump and a couple of outlets for USB support (like charging phones, etc.). Currently these items are running off the cranking battery, not...

I've read on many forums that salt water usage is something I should take into account when making a offer on an outboard. Up to this point I've avoided all motors that have been used in salt water. Nada states this also so I assume it's a real problem. What is the best and most expedient way...

I've got a 2011 Mercury 60 hp 4 cylinder outboard, s/n 1C149*** that I'd like to rebuild for the experience and to use on my boat. I've been able to locate all the parts I need except oversize pistons and rings. I've checked multiple online sources and keep coming up empty. I've reached the...

Are any of you folks aware of electric reels for deep sea fishing? I didn't even know they had them until I saw a story on a stolen one in Florida. I looked them up and holy cow are they expensive! They appear to be a deep sea item that rich people or charters use. I just hadn't heard of them.

I've been looking around for one to fit a Mercury motor, something around 2000-2010 or so. If you have something you'd like to get rid of I'd be interested in seeing what you have. Thanks

Does anyone use a water separater for their engine and use a poratable tank with it? I don't think it would hurt my setup, I'm just wondering if it would be worth the expense.

I read the post you made Jim. Is there a forum that we can use to do test posts?

This is what happens when I have too much time on my hands. I'm a recycler and made this out of some stuff I had. I think I may be into it for about a hundred? Anyways, it's done now so I'll see how it works out. I made it from 2 tail gate extenders which I cut up for the frame, a couple of...

Have any of you folks delved into using the Mercury Smartcraft system? I'm going to install the architecture into my boat but I'm finding that there isn't a lot on the internet about it and most dealers are in the dark.

Time to show my age. I'm looking for labels for my switch panel. My wife has some label making sheets for the computer but I don't think that they're robust enough to use in a constant outdoor environment. I tried to find a label maker, one of the old hand squeeze type ones that use the...

Hi guys. Well, I took my Yamaha to the dealer to have the carbs rebuilt and synchronized. In the mean time I helped a fella out with his new to him pontoon. I installed a motor for him, did some welding to the engine mount and rigged it for him so now he's set. In exchange for my labor I got...

Need some guidance/help. I have a 2006 Yamaha 40 four stroke that stalls when I put it in gear and try to throttle up with it. It pees a good stream while idling and starts right up but will stall if I try to increase the rpms. I let it warm up for a few minutes, I've put fresh gas in it...
