My 40HP Mercury outboard motor revs at very high rpm when in neutral. When advancing or reversing it returns to normal but when placed back in neutral it revs again. Any ideas as to the problem?

So with the throttle closed, held closed by hand, does it still over-revs as soon as you start it up? If that's the case, disconnect the top spark plug wire and restart it, if it doesn't over rev, the issue is the upper crankshaft seal. This is a fairly difficult job so I would suggest seeking out a marine mechanic unless you are very mechanically inclined.

Why does my shift piece in the lower leg come out way to far when it's in drive .on my mercruiser alpha1 gen 1.

Probably needs the cable adjusted. Put the lower unit on and adjust the cable per the instructions for your lower unit.

Hi have a 1998 Yamaha 130 if trim is up can get full rpm when drop trim motor totally bogs tried clean carbs and isolate fuel tank and new fuel pump Any suggestions thx

Sounds like your engine is flooding when in the trim down position. You might need new fuel jets in the carbs.

I have a mercruiser I/o . I need to manually get the lower unit in the up position .can I simply disconnect the lower ends of the hydraulic pistons to lift the lower unit?

Yes, disconnect the pistons and make sure the gears are in forward. You can lift (tilt) the lower unit up. I also suggest taking the pistons and tie them in an up position otherwise one or both pistons can extend. This is not a big problem, just you will need to cycle the pistons in to get them to align so you can reattach them.

Yamaha F50TLRA Electrical issue Trim stopped working, cut off engine, attempted to restart, no power to engine or tachometer

The engine runs off the magneto. Only uses the battery to start. Everything else runs off the battery. If the starter doesn't engage, it's most likely the battery circuit. Remove and clean the battery terminals, tighten and try again. If unsuccessful, try another battery.

My Bass Tracker Pro 175 will not shift into reverse, but it will go forward. What might the problem be?

Could be a number of things such as, the cable needs adjusting, there is something blocking the shift cable from going into reverse all the way, the gears are somehow not aligned to mesh into reverse.

I am wiring a new bilge pump in my boat with float switch and manual on /off switch; when final connection was made bilge goes and stays on; what did I do wrong?

Check the wires and directions, something is crossed. Make sure your pump can do both, be in auto and be used in manual mode. I think the on switch you want to wire in will activate the auto function. There should be a float switch on the pump, be sure that works as it should. The pump may be defective or have a wire crossed.

I saw some oil in the barrel my mercs in,Motor floods out ,will idle for 3 min off fuel,should I pre mix 50:1 and try running it to clean carb? Or Is removal and cleaning carb actually easy enough..

Usually removing the carb is easy enough and cleaning it ensures it is actually cleaned. I would proceed that way if you have the skills.

2005 115hp 4 stroke outboard runs perfectly for 10 km then looses power and goes into limp mode. If engine is turned off then back on again will run normally for 400m - 2km then goes back to limp

Sounds like something is overheating and the engine computer is trying to prevent more serious damage. Your workshop must have changed the impeller and flushed the cooling system, so you will have to look deeper. It could be an electrical component that is failing or even the ECU itself, or, perhaps a sensor is sending a bad signal. Have you checked for error codes, that would be useful. Beyond that, it will not be possible to diagnose the problem from Fixya. You heed a better workshop.

Have not power to ignition or tilt. boat left outside not on charger after use. replaced all batteries (it was time anyway) and still nothing. connected to on-board charger and that does notthing.

You should trace the wires as a connection may have corroded or otherwise disconnected. You can check the voltage at the tilt motor if you have a volt meter. If you have power to the unit, then the unit is probably bad.

Whats the oil to gas ratio for a 1988 bayliner cobra with a 125 force motor?

All 2 cycle engines after about 1966 operate on 50:1 gas to oil mix. If you are unsure, it is fine to operate at a higher oil level, just check the plugs more often for fouling.

Check the coils. An older motor could have corrosion in the coils and preventing operation.

Where is the drain plug on my 175 bass tracker boat

All boats (except ProStar) have two drain plugs, which allow water to be drained from the boat when the boat is OUT of the water. There is a center T-handle drain (the only one for a ProStar) and a transom drain plug. The lower plug is located in the center of the transom at the lowest point. It will be under water when the boat is in the water.
