    Remove 50hp Bigfoot from transom

    Thanks for the reply. My hesitation is thinking that it is probably just for installing/removing the cylinder block. Mercury makes a combination flywheel removal and lifting eye tool so I wouldn't think they would do that if this was intended to lift the entire outboard instead. Its just that...

    Remove 50hp Bigfoot from transom

    Hello everyone, I picked up a used pontoon with a nice 2006 EFI Mercury for a decent price but it needs some transom work. I got some quotes to just have a shop do it all but they were coming back with about the amount I spent on the entire boat. I am planning to take the outboard off myself...

    28hp OMC SPL Outboard died while running and now can't get any response from turning key

    Ok took it out and it seems to work fine, thanks for the extra confidence. Seems like I might have to clean the carb eventually since it runs a little rough but I'm able to get out and see the lake which is the most important thing. Thanks for all the help!

    28hp OMC SPL Outboard died while running and now can't get any response from turning key

    Ok so I just want to be certain we're on the same page because now I'm hesitant to damage anything after I jumped the gun initially. I have water coming from the holes circled in orange in this image and bubbles coming from the case split that I circled in red. I thought all of the exhaust was...

    28hp OMC SPL Outboard died while running and now can't get any response from turning key

    Ok I tore into it and replace the entire water pump assembly. It needed it, the impeller was in rough shape and there were chunks of it stuck in the housing. I put it all back together and now I feel like there is something else wrong. I get a telltale and there is water sputtering out of the...

    28hp OMC SPL Outboard died while running and now can't get any response from turning key

    Buying a whole new pump wasn't that expensive so I just went with that. I found some youtube videos that show the process and it doesn't seem too bad. Thanks for all the help again!

    28hp OMC SPL Outboard died while running and now can't get any response from turning key

    Ah that's it, thank you! I was going through the rats nest of wiring under the console when I saw your reply. The key had power and I could see 12V at the solenoid connector off the key when it was in the cranking position. It looks like the solenoid wire then goes into the shifter/throttle...

    28hp OMC SPL Outboard died while running and now can't get any response from turning key

    Awesome, thank you for the helpful diagram! I checked the fuse and it looks fine but I guess I need to do more testing. I can hear a click when I push the key in when it is in the ON position, but do not hear the starter relay click when I move it to START/CRANK. Will there be gear oil in the...

    28hp OMC SPL Outboard died while running and now can't get any response from turning key

    I don't think it is seized. I can turn it over by hand using the flywheel. I did some more testing this morning and ruled out the starter solenoid. If I jump it and give the smaller pin 12V it engaged the starter just fine. I turned the key to ON and jumped the started solenoid again and the...

    28hp OMC SPL Outboard died while running and now can't get any response from turning key

    Ok and then failed an electrical component, maybe the starter solenoid, due to the overheating?

    28hp OMC SPL Outboard died while running and now can't get any response from turning key

    Are you suggesting a new impeller will fix this issue? I haven't done much work on outboards but this seems to be electrical to me. The crankshaft/flywheel isn't seized and the starter motor will engage and somewhat spin the flywheel if I jump it. If the impeller is a separate issue, thanks for...

    28hp OMC SPL Outboard died while running and now can't get any response from turning key

    I haven't really touched it. It came with a full tank of gas so I just ran it.

    28hp OMC SPL Outboard died while running and now can't get any response from turning key

    I have been looking through these forums all day trying to troubleshoot. I recently bought a 1987 Kennedy pontoon boat with a 28hp outboard that just says SPL on the cover and Outboard Motor Company on the plate. Not sure if it is a Johnson or Evinrude but from what I've read they are...
