Hello,
I am looking at purchasing a Barletta pontoon with a 2019 ish Mercury Verado 400L (2B653635) with 150hrs on it. I had the run history done and have the printout but was wondering if anyone...

Yes I have repaired several. You are correct.. most of the cowls are glass. I dug out the cracks, ( made larger ), filled with bondo, sanded and repainted. Works fine and if you...

Hello,
I have an old 12/24 volt Mercury trolling motor and was running two die hards that finally gave up the ghost... Any suggestions on good replacements? Does MCA / CCA matter?

Thanks

Hello mwelsko,
changing the leads tells me that the wiring is good. Next bet would be the switch, throttle/ motor. To rule out the motor try a cheap momentary at the motor and see if it works. If...

Hello Marky1
There are many places on the internet that deal with older motor parts, let your fingers do the walking, contact them, tell them what you want and they will ship.

Hello mean,
just so I can get a better understanding.... When you say rev's up to WOT do you mean boat accelerates OR just the motor rev's faster?

Thanks

Hello Jyard,
My first guess would be charge system problem... It seem that you only get the problem at higher rev's. I would check voltage reg, rectifier and then work my way back to the stator....

Hello Mojoputter,
Had a similar problem recently with my 125 hp... Thought it was electrical when that was debunked went after fuel... Also not the issue. Turned out to be the link arm operating...

Hello Paul,
I run and 89 XR4 with a 4 blade trophy on a 18ft Astro with a 5" setback and I get 5700 RPM Med load. A 24 four blade sounds way to high for that application... What is your RPM top...

Just a quick update to close this issue.. After checking both electrical and fuel systems, the problem turned out to be the link lever between the throttle lever and the throttle cam asm. The two...

Hello 176mag.
Best way to check....is with a DVM and OEM service manual. They are a bit expensive but worth every penny, besides you will need to understand the values that will be produced.

Hello Dennismtl
Yes... The prop would seem to be more efficient, (based on the data you provided). There are inherent differences between one propeller and another, nothing in mass production is...

Yeah that was the next thing Joe... It is interesting because I would think that the eng would surge more with a fuel related problem. Do you know what the torque spec is for the carb to intake...

3)...

Hello Ecobb91,
Yes... several times. In 90% of the cases it ends up being the stator. I would recommend getting a service manual and running through the check procedures. It is not that hard and...

Hello fishon...Couple of things you can try.
1) Check the electrical form,(on this site), for wiring verification.
2) Get your hands on a service manual, in valuable...
Also check that the sensor...

Most any prop repair shop can fix that.... I did it once myself about 20 years ago and they repaired, ( and painted ), no problem.
