I have a problem with a 2013 yamaha F70. The motor starts and idles fine it will push the boat slowly without any issues. The problem kicks in when running on step. The motor will shut down while at speed but will crank immediately back up once in neutral. The process will repeat. I do notice...

Howdy all I am hoping the experts on this forum may be able to help with a couple of questions. I am looking to upgrade my sonar the Lowrance Elite 9 TI. Besides jumping light years ahead of the current gps chart plotter that I have, I am really interested in the interface capability that it...

Hey all. I have weird problem with my outboard that I hope someone can shine some light on. I was cruising down the lake this afternoon and the outboard decides to spontaneously trim it self up. I was able to stop the upward motion as long as I held a finger on the down tilt switch on the...

I just received a 2001 8 hp yamaha remote power tilt/trim from a family member. She took it off her boat because the power tilt was frozen and she wanted a larger moter. The power head runs perfectly and it has great thrust. I need to know if anyone out there has a service/repair manual and...

I just purchased a boat with a 1996 Mercury 60hp. The motor idles fine and smokes with start up and at idle speed, and the oil level in the sight glass is dropping at a fair speed. The Pee hole also shoots water strong enough to poke holes in the lake. I am getting an occasional weak sounding...
