Good Afternoon fellow boat enthusiasts I have an early 80s Mariner 40c that is on a 1978 Starcraft I have refurbished. I was able to get the motor running fairly quickly which was nice...however, when I turn the key off on the remote throttle, the engine stays running. This setup was...

Hello All, it is a 40C and I have not called about the specific year. Thank you all for the responses. I dont believe I have auto blend, there is no accessory oil supply.

So I actually did purchase two linear actuators about a year ago because I was planning to do the same thing with a different motor, but that is as far as I got. Original plan was to put 2 actuators on a set of plates similar to the CMC. I wasn’t sure if just one would be strong enough to...

Hey thanks for the input. Yeahhhhhh I’m realizing I should just go aftermarket. I was trying to go original and avoid the price of the aftermarket t/t but truthfully it’s just as expensive bc of the scarcity of parts. And it’s way less hassle. Thanks for the input.

Hello there, curious if anyone has any advice on putting tilt/trim on an early 80s Mariner 40EL. Model number begins with 6E9. It’s a great motor. I’m completely refurbing the boat and would like to put tilt/trim if I can. Not even sure what part number to look for. Any advice helps!

I did Google it and it came up with nothin. I did nail it down on MarineEngine but it doesn’t state the year just the parts diagram. I am able to find the same logo design on the later years but however this is not oil injected and the later models with the similar design have oil injection.

Hello, I've recently purchased a 16 foot starcraft with a 40 hp mariner attached. I am unable to find the year of this outward anywhere online. Could only determine it is between 1980-1985. If anyone could tell me the year, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

Yeah so the only differences between the diff hp models is the adapter plate and the carb, so Im assuming the jet is the correct, the parts manual for the motor shows it as compatible. As far as the vacuum cut off valve I dont believe so, I couldnt find anything labeled as that in the parts...

Hello All. So I was given a Merc 18xd as a courtesy and it ran great to the best of my knowledge. Since everything was working great, I decided to mess with it to get more hp. I read on some forums that model merc is the same as the 20 and 25xd models with exception of the carb and adapter...

Thanks. Could you post a picture of your throttle linkage setup so I have something to compare to?

Hey there, do you happen to have the part numbers for the available 25hp carbs that are compatable? I have the 18xd and am looking to do something similar. I currently have the WMC 9 carb. Unrelated to the carb, do you happen to know how to set this up for remote throttle? The pully system...

Hello all, I have an 85 merc 18xd that came on a 16 foot tin boat I purchased. It does well but with 3 guys and duck gear, I might need more juice. Saw some videos online of a guy swapping out the carb and exhaust tuner on this model to upgrade to a 25hp. From research online, the engine block...

about much much $ is it running you?

no way man thats awesome! Thanks! I was able to see it thank you

Hello I am new to this website and looked around but could not find what I was looking for. I am looking to remove both bench seats from my 14 foot jon boat to install a pedestal seats and open up more room. I am sure this will weaken it structurally, I am curious what others have done to...

Hey I am curious what gauge and what type of metal used? Thinking about making these for my Jonboat. Thanks in advance!
