Having trouble with 40hp mercury tracker starts fine it will go into gear but pushing the throttle further does nothing. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?

I wanted to start this thread for anyone that has a question about maintaining their boat or a question about detailing. Whatever the question, please feel free to ask it. You can view my qualifications at my website Hi Tech Marine Systems => http://www.htmsdaytona.com

I look forward to answering your questions.

Hi all, I am contemplating living in a boat.Â Are there any suggestions to this?Â For your information i have no experience in boating and the reason i want to do this is for economical sense.Â I also plan to use my boat to make some income during the weekends.Â Do advise

What fuel consumption should I get from a "Marenco 195 sport cabin" ( 6metre sports boat )

with a 115HP Yamaha outboard engine? The boat and engine weighs aproximately 1 ton

Having problems with temp alarms going off used temp gun to check temp engines are not running hot. water pressure coming out of pee hole seems to be down . could this be the presure control valve i have read about . have replaced water pumps and thermostats. seems to set alarms off more at idle than at top speed. Any suggestions will be appreciated

I have a 1994 4.3L mercruiser that I'm trying to get running for the summer.

I just replaced the water pump on the engine and I replaced the thermostat the other day.Â I start the engine and the thing runs smooth and like a champ.Â But I noticed that whenÂ I crank it and run it at idle that I really don't have any water coming out the ejection port on the stern drive.Â If I bump the throttle up to 1500 rpms then I get a steady flow.Â

Is this a sign that the impeller in the lower unit is going bad or is it something else?

Thanks for your help.

HAVE INFO AT EBID.NET UNDER THEPROPGUY

THIS PROPELLER PAYS FOR ITSELF ON THE MONEY YOU SAVE FROM NOT RUNNING A 3 BLADE PROP. YOU SAVE $1.50 PER HOUR BACK IN YOUR POCKET CANNOT LOSE.

THE PROP TEST SHOWS THAT 4 BLADE SAVES FUEL AND HAS BETTER PERFORMANCE THAN A 3 BLADE.3.0 mercruiser prop test 3 blade 21p prop at cruising speed burns 6.9 gallons of gas per hour but 4 blade at cruising speed burns 6.5 gallons per hour. if you go thur 100 hours with a four blade you would save 40 gallons of gas at 3.75 a gallon that would be $150.00. and this prop pays for itself plus the 4 blade planes the boat faster saving gas intantaneous steering response also saving gas YOU CAN'T LOSE.

Need a few opinions whether or not to use trim tabs on a 70' sportfisher.

The hull is aluminum if that has any importance. Twin Diesel engines.

I can think of a couple negative points to the tabs.

Is the performance benefit that great?

Thanks for your input.Â Â

Can someone explain to me what that Shift Cradle screw does?

Im new to boating and I thought I was unscrewing my lower screw and it turned out to be my Shift Cradle Screw.

Heres what I then did.

I had all 3 screws out.Â The Lube level plug, Drain/fill plug and the Shift Cradle Screw.Â I started to pump in the new oil from the drain/fill hole and I started to get the oil to come out of the Shift Cradle screw which I did expect.Â I then screwed in the shift cradle screw and pumped in oil until it came out of the lube level screw hole.Â I then screwed in the drain fill screw then screwed in the lube level screw.

I looked at the manual and it said ***Important DO NOT remove shift cradle screw.

Did I screw something up?Â Can someone explain that shift cradle screw?

Thanks

i have a 77 omc 235, 302 engine.Â new to the whole boating expeirence so bear with me. took the boat out last weekend and it ran great. took it out today and it would not start. seemed dead but the batteries were fine. wouldnt hardly turn over.Â the starter selinoid was starting to smoke at the cable from the starter and on my battery + lead. thought maybe starter was drawin too much current, so took it out and tested it and checked 5.0. changed the selinoid and still did the same. when starter was removed none of the terminals heated up. ignition fuse as kept poppin and so many cranks. after puttin it all back together, now the starter doesnt turn over and the fuse still pops. what wires go to the selinoid??? any pictures and advice would be extremely helpful.... really need help!!!!Â thanxs

It seems that ever since they started adding ethanol to our gas my 1998 5.7 LÂ - EFI Mercruiser's (Bravo 3 Outdrives)Â stall when put in to gear.This includes when I'm shifting in and out of gear to dock the boat. It always happens with the starboard engine and about 70% of the time with the port.To avoid stalling I need to give the throtttle a lot more than I'd like to which is not attractive - particularly in close quarters....Â The boat, otherwise, runs flawlessly.Â My mehanic says the CPU's check out fine and there are no filtration problems with water. He also tells me that his Merc sales rep says I need to change out my CPU's, at $900, apiece.Apparently the replacementsÂ will do a better job of distributing the blended fuel. I called Merc direct and they said that they've never heard of the problem nor the solution. Does anybody out there hear me?

My 1996 Yamaha 90 hp outboard apparently overheats when I'm carrying a heavy load (e.g. six people as approved for the boat) or if I run it wide open for more than a few minutes. (Upon sensing an overheating, the engine automatically shuts down to an idle speed.)I've had the waterpump and themostat replaced. My mechanic tested it running and took read outs using a "hot gun sensoring device" and could not identify any hot spots.... but the problem continues.Â Any ideas out there?

I have a 2001 Bryant 23 foot runabout with a 7.4 liter Fuel INjected Mercruiser Bravo 3.Â At times the engine will not start when the engine is hot. After waiting 20 minutes or so it sstarts and runs fine.Â At othet times, the boat will start and then shut down immediately when putting into gear. Again, waiting about 20 minutes or so seems to clear up the problem.
