My dad passed away and i've never sat with him while he maintained his outboard motor. I've inherited his fishing quota's and outfit. Thank for the video, our season starts next week

Any tips on removing middle drive shaft housing thingy on a 9.9. Lower unit came off/apart easy. Seriously siezed together.

Thankyou very much. I have a mercury 2 stroke 5HP. Is it basically the same except everything is smaller?

Thanks for the clear concise and simple instructions. You did not replace the impeller though which I thought was a service replaceable item on a yearly service.🇬🇧👍🏻

Thank you very much. Very good information you have given. One thing I want to know. If the engine is in the garage and not being used, will it have to be started every two or three days to maintain it.

@peterenis8447 3 жыл бұрын

Nah, not really. Just take out the carb and clean it, take a look at the plug(s), flush the internal fuel tank and your good to go.

@@rajeshmisra1030 When you run it last, turn the fuel off and let it run dry. This will keep fuel or of the carb that will gunk/gel up.

I have a small lever under the cowling of my 25hp mercury (late 90s) moves back and forth and seems very loose, but does not come out...do you happen to know what it for? ...I've never owned a boat or motor before

It's most likely your tilt lever to help move the motor up and down
