    Mercruiser 3.0 TKS ignition switch

    With you there. I'm over thinking it :-)

    Mercruiser 3.0 TKS ignition switch

    Matters somewhat. Some of these switches appear to be shorter than others, so they have to be at least long enough to get the nut on! I'll have to measure mine.

    Mercruiser 3.0 TKS ignition switch

    Yeah, did that. So many options out there and many look the same as mine. Looks like the main features I need are 3-way with tabs. Other than that I guess it's just hole size and panel thickness I need to worry about?

    Mercruiser 3.0 TKS ignition switch

    The ignition switch on my 2002 Mercruiser 3.0 TKS is falling apart. Barrel keeps dropping out whenever I retrieve the key. I was looking at buying a new one but I can't find a part specific to the motor listed anywhere. Lots of potential generic options, but I want to make sure I buy the right...

    Tach wires on Mercruiser 3.0

    The tach gauge on my 2002 Mercruiser 3.0 is acting up. Won't read steady. I've checked all the connections on the back of the gauge. All look good and the selector is set appropriately for a 4 cyl engine. Where does the pulse wire for the tach connect on the engine. Thought I could check for...

    1995 Mariner 60 alarm

    My Mariner 60hp 2-stroke's alarm started screaming at me after my last trip. Not the intermittent beep indicating low levels of oil, but one long continuous alarm. Plenty of oil in the tank, and there's steady stream of water from the tell-tale. The engine isn't overheating. I tried starting her...

    Mariner 60hp thermostat

    The high heat alarm has started going off at high revs on my 1995 Mariner 60hp 2 stroke. The impeller is only a year old and there is a very strong tell tale. I'm thinking the thermostat might be sticking. According to the parts diagrams, there are two types of thermostat - 120deg and 143 deg...

    Carburretor gasket kit

    I was looking at this Gasket Kit, part# 1395-811223 There are three round gaskets in this kit. I can find only a place for two of them. One for the float bowl drain, and one for the nozzle well. Where does the little black and white one go? There is no mention of it in the carburetor diagram.

    Piston rings on Mariner 60hp

    Rebuilding a Mariner 60hp with probable piston slap. Each piston has two rings. They both have a dot to show which way up and otherwise look like identical compression rings. Switching them is not an issue? Just wondering because I have two of these engines and I'm hoping to rebuild with the...

    How to refill 1994 Mariner 60 manual tilt

    I want to put new oil in the manual tilt on my '94 Mariner 60hp 2-stroke. The manual release plug is easily identifiable, but which is the fill plug?

    2007 Suzuki 6hp flushing

    Suzuki sell a fitting to flush their 6hp engines after use. Not sure where it attaches though. Is the small round grey plug directly below the fuel switch in this picture the right port?

    Df6 stalling

    I've got a 2007 4 stroke 6hp Suzuki that's acting up. Won't run up through there rev range very well. The engine is in pretty good condition overall. I thought it might be a gummed fuel system so I stripped the carb and everything down, including the tank and hoses, and soaked them in seafoam...

    Mariner 60hp driver gear

    I had an issue with FWD gear the other day. Just got onto the plane and then the motor ran on with no thrust and then died. I thought maybe something had gone through the prop and damaged the hub or gearbox. It started back up and ran in FWD/REV at low revs. Once home, I stripped the lower end...

    Tach/rectifier issue on Mariner 60hp

    OK, so my battery died recently. I checked the output voltage from the engine and realized the rectifier wasn't working. It looked burned out, so I replaced it. Pat on the back. Now the engine is charging the battery again. Unfortunately, now the tach has stopped working properly. I installed...

    1995 Mariner 60hp press valves

    OK, here's a shot of the actual head. The two 'plugs' I'm taking about are at the top and bottom of the head. The top plug has a hexagon head and is brass. The bottom one has an allen key head which has rusted in place. It's the one that sits left and below the lower rusty spark plug. These...
