    80s? Mercury tilt and trim issues or any info available?

    What is this contact in the trim motor? Some type of thermal fuse? Should it be touching or not touching?

    80s? Mercury tilt and trim issues or any info available?

    A little hammering and it split in half. The center drive gear was really jammed. Seemed like the end the motor shaft goes in was mushroomed out. There also were some burrs around the hole it's in but that could've been from disassembly. Some fine grit sandpaper and it's spinning free again...

    80s? Mercury tilt and trim issues or any info available?

    Picked up a parts motor 0A745967 to take the tilt and trim from. Anyone have a service manual for the tilt and trim? Or know how much fluid it should take? It ran slow up and down to start with, I was hoping it just needed to be topped of with fluid and air bleed out. I raised the motor up and...

    transom replacment and rivet advice wanted.

    Got the rivets and resin ordered and the old transom out. Also got some more water logged foam out, the whole floor was the same way. Boat might be 2 or 300 pounds lighter. This transom didn't go all the way to the bottom of the boat. Wondering if the new one should? Guessing its to stop it...

    transom replacment and rivet advice wanted.

    Dale, you are like hitting the jackpot of answers! thanks so much, links and everything. for your epoxy plugs could you go into a little more detail on how to go about it. how oversized are you making them? lets say for a 1/4 bolt do you use 1/2 inch hole? bigger? just fill them with epoxy...

    how to find a hole in motor block? 1983 merc 40hp

    well i got the motor apart but didn't find a hole. starting to wonder if it was a gasket leak and the previous owner just thought there was a hole. the good news is the pistons and everything look to be in great shape, i'd guess this motor has fairly low hours for it's age. i ordered a gasket...

    Should the nav light pole and base be grounded?

    Looks like it was due to wrong bulb... #90 did the trick

    Should the nav light pole and base be grounded?

    Another possibility is it could be the wrong bulb. Anyone know the bulb number for these? I assumed one pin would be ground and the other positive but it didnt work. I knew the outside of the bulb connection is usually ground for trailer lights so I thought it might be the same here.

    Should the nav light pole and base be grounded?

    Trying to get my nav lights to work on old boat I bought. If I touch a ground wire to the pole and positive to either connection hole the lights work. Problem is theres nothing to ground the pole in the base, should there be? Same thing front and back light. If someone could take a picture down...
