    I have looked over the engine and am still unable to find the seriel number. From what I have read, it seems as if there should be a plate with the model and serial numbers on the transom side of the...

    I think I found the serial number, is this it?
    415679

  4. Mariner MagnumII 150 / Mercury XR4 2.4L carb/throttle linkage sync/adjustment

    I took the plastic throttle linkage off the 3 carbs to remove and clean each carb - engine now runs but idles way high. I know I didn't get this plastic throttle linkage on correctly - probably have...

  6. Mariner Magnum II 150/Mercury XR4 2.4L has spark but only fires once - doesn't start

    I have the engine in the title (Mariner version) that won't start. Originally it had no spark and I traced that down to the CDI switch modules (both had no spark). Verified trigger was good with an...

    Joe54, thanks for the response! I should have mentioned that the black/yellow kill switch wires have already been disconnected and all wiring is good. I'm getting the trigger signal and stator...
  8. What does "Bias" or Balance wire do between the 2 CDI switch modules?

    I have a Mariner Magnum II 150 / Merc XR4 2.4L that doesn't have spark in any cylinder. It "ran when parked" 6 years ago, in fact, I had a no-spark issue then and had it serviced at the local marine...

    The horn for the overheat sensor - you're referring my last (bottom) picture that's alone I assume, the sensor that's on the "other" bank that has the good wire that's running up to the driver's IP...
  10. Mariner MagnumII 150 / Merc XR4 2.4L - what is this wire?

    As title states, I have a Mariner MagnumII 150 / Merc XR4 2.4L - got no spark. I have a wire that's crumbling away but it's still there and I'm not sure if this is anything that's causing the no...

    Thanks for all the help from everyone. I found the valves attached to the pumps and luckily they're moving freely and not frozen. So now I have more questions - how's the live well keep from...

    Livewell drains - oh I see. The livewells will auto-drain once full so they don't overfill, but to totally drain them empty I need to pull those cables to open the valves. Where are these drain...

  14. What are these power outlets & livewell cables?

    I have a 1987 bass boat I'm fixing up - wondering what these are? They appear to be 12v power outlets but I've never seen anything that uses plugs like these? Were these common back in the 80's and...

    Private emails disappeared?

    I had some private emails in my inbox back in 2014. I took a hiatus from working on my boat for a few years and found time recently to get back to this project and was pleasantly surprised to find...

    Can you elaborate on how to remove just a part of the rear cap? It appears to me that to separate and lift the rear of the cap, then entire cap would have to be separated and thus lifted? ...

    Yes I did. If you could snap some pics of anything that'll help me repair my transom & knees I'd appreciate it! Especially if there's a way to do this without removing the cap, if not - any hints &...

    Can you elaborate on how to fix the knees without taking off the cap? I looked through the archives on this site and it looks like a guy named Airboater did this repair to this Shadow a couple years...

    Also, how can I tell if it's ok to run? Do I look for transom flex while under full power? I tried lifting the motor and shaking it up and down and there's no flex.
