Thanks .If anyone is interested, mercury emailed and tells me the kit has everything needed to convert to electric start .

Hello does anyone know if the electric start kit 8M0137846 has everything one needs to convert the engine to electric start? I just bought a new Mercury 20MH fuel injected model and it does not...

Thanks to everyone for the replies. Still working with the boat. Had some fuel issues due to the boat sitting for 3 years without running. Think we may have that issue solved. Motor seems to be...

OK guys. Anyone know of an alternative for a OEM fuel filter o-ring? I don't mind paying a few extra $ for quality, but 10 bucks for a twenty-five cent o-ring? Add S&H and push 20.00 for an o-ring....

Thanks again everyone. Turns out the shift rod was spot on (surprisingly). What I ended up doing is watching the shift rod while family member shifted slowly from F to N, then R to N, several...

Keep in mind that there may be some differences in the Johnson and Yamaha engines. Yami may be faster, but may not. I have no clue really. Maybe someone else could help here. As an FYI, I noticed...

Great info guys. Thanks very much. Will let you know how it goes. May take a few days before we can get to it. Regards.

Model: E150ELEOM SN: G03745036. Family member's boat. Purchased as a project boat. Rebuilt the carbs, and had to swap lower unit due to slightly bent prop shaft on the original. Took the boat...

Was thinking the same. It's been a long time since I had a basic rack and pinion. I've gotten spoiled with the anti-feedback system I guess. First time out all worked ok. Thanks.

2004 275 Pro XL w/90 Johnson V4 and 6" jack plate. Minn Kota 24V Maxxum. Boat came wired for 12V TM. Used the original wiring and upgraded to a 2 battery 24V system myself. One and only owner. ...

Well said. I'm leaning towards the prop change but welcome any opinions on the hydrofoils. Convincing the family member to spend the money on a prop is another story. I put a hydrofoil on my...

Hello all. 95 model Stratos 283 has a 4 blade stainless prop on the engine. Just bought the boat. Original lower unit had a hydrofoil on it from prior owner. Had to swap the lower unit so no...

Hello all. 95 model Stratos 283 has a 4 blade stainless prop on the engine. Just bought the boat. Original lower unit had a hydrofoil on it from prior owner. Had to swap the lower unit so no more...

Gotcha. Thanks for the info.

I have a 2004 Stratos with the anti-feedback steering so I am somewhat familiar with that design.

Family member has a 95 Stratos 283 project with rack and pinion. In the driveway, when the motor...

I don't have a lot of info on this boat, but it is a mid 90s 283. Project boat. The motor is a 95 model so I assume the boat is at or near that year as well. Can't find a fuse panel on the thing. ...

Thanks very much guys. Going over to boats.net tonight to check out the seal kit. Can you tell me if the unit will come off the motor without pulling the motor off the boat? I don't have the...

Hello everyone. Anyone have any tips on where to find info on the power tilt/trim units on these outboards? I have a 90 HP V4, 2004 model, 90 GLSRM. Main cylinder has apparently blown a seal. ...

Hi all,

I have the teleflex anti-feedback steering with steering cable in my boat. Steering is starting to get stiff. I am the original owner. Dealer says need new steering cable. Just...

Thanks. Going to give this a try:


Dow Corning Molykote EM-30L Synthetic Grease Lubricant

Looks like this might do the trick if it does as advertised. Designed for plastic to plastic...

I've never had a plug out of the box to be gapped at the needed specification. Most I have seen were way off and always needed to be gapped manually.

Replaced my "trigger sensor" or A.K.A. optical sensor on the Johnson V4, 2004, 90GLSRM. It is the one mounted under the timing wheel, on top of the flywheel assembly. I noticed when putting it back...

Thanks. Makes sense. Think I'll do that next weekend.

Finally, problem solved. It was either the power pack or the bottom one of the two coils. I replaced the pack and the bottom coil. Ran...

After reading the manual, the crankshaft position sensor can be one of many different kinds depending on the model. On my motor, it is the OIS (optical) sensor mounted on top of the flywheel and...

Is there another way do disable the ignition system on the V4's? The book I have doesn't offer another option. My first guess would have been the kill switch, but apparently this doesn't do it, or...
