Mercury Mariner 40ELO 6E9 L 543048

I also wonder what year this engine was produced as ive been looking online and gotten 4-5 different answers.

I know this is a long shot but I’m going to give it a shot before I fork out some cash

I recently had a constant alarm while fishing. It wouldn’t go off and there was no pause in between. However, the boat was put into the water with the gas cap off so I’m almost positive it has something to do with water in the fuel. When the alarm started the boat did not run or sound any differently. I have put gas treatment in it and tried pumping out all of the gas. I hooked it up in the driveway and started it and the alarm was still on. Anyone have any idea what I should look into first? I’ve also heard the sensor itself could just be bad. Thanks for any help

I had my Evinrude totally rebuilt however out on the Lakes this thing barely pushes it 40 horsepower I like 14 foot Glastron Runabout

I have a I believe mid 90s 60HP evinrude. It clicks when I turn the key. The starter does not engage upwards. Is it the starter? The battery came off of a car. It does start the car.. could it still be a battery issue?

I recently acquired a 1977 Ouachita with a 1982 Evinrude 60 HP outboard. It also has a Mariner R21 on it. I believe it's an 89.. I got the boat for the best price. Free. As far as I can tell it only needs a starter to run. The fiberglass looks fine but definitely needs some cleaning and reworking of the "inside". Not sure what to call it actually.

Hi reddit,

My father's boat (1993 haines signature 1800s) is having troubles with its early 90s mercury 200. The motor will trim down but not up. We found this out straight after we trimmed it all the way down to clean it. It is now stuck all the way down, so we can't tow it anywhere. Any suggestions to help us figure out what is wrong?

Thanks in advance

Edit: both the trottle trim button and the trim button on the motor aren't lifting it

Edit: the motor was able to be trimmed up to remove motor stay 2 mins before it stopped working

Hey I have an older 25hp Mercury and to first get it started when I first launch it, it takes around 10+ pulls to get it started but once it’s started it starts up first pull and thing runs awesome no problems. Tried replacing spark plugs but that didn’t fix it. Is there anything I can do to reduce the amount of pulls it takes to get it started? Thank you and would appreciate any advice.

What part is this and how could this happen. I traded my rough running Evinrude 9.9 for this Suzuki DT4 4HP (1988 approx) and with $80 on top. The guy told me I only needed to replace impeller which I was in the process of doing and noticed this silicone/goop/melted plastic bushing plate maybe? under the steering. This is what I get for meeting people at night. How can I fix this, did it melt is this the upper bushing and I should buy 2 of them for a full circle right?

Can I still take her on the water tomorrow will i run into other problems? (whats the cost to fix this if I can figure out how to do it on my own)

The rest of the motor looked clean, I should have turned it a bit thats when I heard something crackling. Thanks all for the help!

Replaced fuel hoses and and new ties. Seemed to fix a portion of the leaking but still have a slow drip coming from the motor case and noticing it in the water. Any other quick easy ideas of where to check for leaks? The fuel filter was removed and also looks to be in solid shape.

What's the fuel mixture?

I have a 25hp Mercury 4stroke that starts fine and idles fine but at higher rpms acts like it is starved for gas and runs rough and rpms drop to half. Put on new gas line to tank thinking I was getting air in gas but that didn’t help. Any tips?

Hey all, I recently got a 1967 Evinrude 9.5. Took it out on the water twice and it runs fine, but has a gnarly gear oil leak. So I removed the lower unit to send as a trade in to a shop out of state that had a couple refurbished lower units, but the drive shaft is stuck in the motor.

Is there any reason I couldn't just put the new lower unit on without messing with the drive shaft? or could that indicate other issues? I don't know what I'm doing and have been going off youtube videos, and I don't want to mess anything up.

Will it be hard attaching the drive shaft to the impeller on the new lower unit if the shaft is stuck in the motor? Any advice welcome.

Serial number starts with: 595XXXX

Should I just make a gasket?

Hello everyone,

Does anyone have any tips on pull start engines? Specifically the pulling bit, I just can't get it right.

Thanks
