Thank your for your prompt reply. That sounds like a logical way to diagnose the cause of the problem. Will follow the steps and see what the result is. Your help is much appreciated, regards Fred
I have a 2005 2 cylinder 2 stroke 40hp Mercury outboard which is loosing oil from it's resevoir. I have unassembled and inspected the plastic tank and there are no leaks from the bottom outet or sight tube sites, the outlet hose to the oil pump is not leaking but have not yet pulled the oil pump...
Faantastic, thank you! My first time using a forum and your link was very helpful. I found the closest match to my motor and can now move forward. Regards Fred
Hi all, just bought a boat with the above motor. On the tag is says Model Number is 40PTO and S/N 0P368374
It actually is electric start with power tilt so is should be ELPTO?
I am having trouble finding the specs, a manual or parts list.
Any ideas or safe links would be appreciated.
Thank you...
