    oil injection system for 50 HP Mercury Outboard

    Another issue could be the check valve. If faulty you could have oil migrating back through the loop.

    1995 Merc two stroke lower unit issue

    This is the standard gear case and the oil was spotless with nothing in the drain plug. The receipt for the drain/refill was from 2023 and was used all of 2024 before I bought it this year. I changed it just in case and it was perfect. That’s good to know about spring loaded. That makes...

    1995 Merc two stroke lower unit issue

    This is an ELPTO model. The engine shifts great with the lower unit removed. When testing my new cheap rpm gauge today, it sounded like it wanted to let itself go into gear, causing the engine to turn off. I eventually played with the shifter at the helm to make sure it was in neutral and...

    1995 Merc two stroke lower unit issue

    Edit—still tough to get into reverse but easier than before. I did the paper test mentioned above and that was spot on. Time to fish!

    1995 Merc two stroke lower unit issue

    Well—disconnected the shifter cable assembly and started it in neutral. Very easy to move by hand into forward but not happening in reverse. Something is definitely not right with it!

    1995 Merc two stroke lower unit issue

    Hi all, I have a 95 Merc 60 two stroke that recently had the impeller changed. When the engine is running in neutral in the water, there is a clicking noise that I do not remember being there before. With the engine off, the propeller rotates freely in either direction. No noticeable noises...

    Propeller Search

    After some inspection, I found that my dented and roughed up 14P prop needs a change. The engine is a 1995 Mercury 60 2 stroke and the hull is an older 15.5’ fish and ski. However, the whole front bow riding area has everything removed, so this is essentially a 15.5’ aluminum boat with a...

    Poppet valve or tstat?

    Took the trial run today. Pumped way more water than I was anticipating. So far it’s a good running motor—now to figure out fuel usage

    Poppet valve or tstat?

    Tested the tstat and opened right at 143–poppet was fine as well. I was right above the inlet in the bucket - definitely not enough pressure. Thanks for the help—will get it on the water Sunday. Fingers crossed!

    Poppet valve or tstat?

    Dug more into my 95 merc 60 two stroke today. Boat ran fine and out the tell tale on muffs, but in a barrel it needed higher rpm’s to get flow then alarmed after I throttled down (and stream stopped). -Impeller and housing looks fine. Key is all set in right spot. -Hose pressure up the tube...

    Identifying mercury outboard S/N

    Picked up a 1995 Mercury 60 2 stroke today but I can’t locate a S/N anywhere. Any ideas where to look or identifiers? I’d like to swap out the water pump and make sure I get the right one!
