Awesome video keep them coming Here lately I’ve had a rash of those on L6 and on B/O from Mercury had to go to Iboat to get some

[@CynideCypher]

this is great seeing these kinds of videos as a new tech in the field with no master tech to lean all of these little things that save big time. Really Appreciate this!

[@BornAgainBoating]

Glad it was helpful!

[@moisesheredia2597]

Thank you so much for the details! I’m having the same type of issues on of my twins 150 mercury four stroke.

[@markwiebner7806]

Thanks for another great video. I'll keep the trim sender in mind down the road.

[@growlith6969]

Love your boat, simple and effective. I love boats that don't need a lot of effort, they just work.

[@hankschrader149]

Agreed 💯

[@BornAgainBoating]

Yes indeed!

[@josephvella3688]

Great video and great diagnostic work! What program do you guys like using? Meds?

[@luisma1161]

Another great video. Very informative. Thanks

[@1FishinAddict]

My older carb Honda 90hp outboards did just that the last time I was out and surely the trim was the culprit. It acted erratic and on starboard was corroded solid in the up position.

[@francisvantuyle]

You know this gentleman gets so excited when 7s confronted with a problem. His mind works methodically noting the details of the problem until he has his problem well defined. You know he has schematics in his mind. What a wonderfully talented gentleman.

[@hankschrader149]

☹️☹️☹️ Great video Aaron! Glad you found out where you lost your WOT 😁😁😁 We finally have a weekend up here in Puget Sound region above 80 degrees! You'd think I'd have my boat in the water, but no I'm still buffing out the gel coat 😆

[@BornAgainBoating]

Oh no!

[@EtanPriestling]

Awesome video, quick question do you know if this also applies to Yamaha and Honda engines?

[@dustin9035]

Gone are the days when not getting WOT was fixed by cleaning a carburetor. Now you need a laptop to figure out which sensor has failed.

[@bskipper8980]

Your right about that!

[@gavinsixnine]

I prefer them carbs lol

[@juk-hw5lv]

But the motor at least starts first touch. I hate carb cold starts in my motorcycle.

[@CTRadventures]

Wonder if a dirty carb is my issue. I have an 87 johnson v6 150. Its been converted to two stroke. We just got it a couple months ago and i had gotten her to 55 mph. Recently tho, when i get to 40 mph, and push her harder my engine starts to bog down and lose power until i let off and she recovers fine. If im at a dead stop i can punch it full throttle and its no problem. I took the sparks out today and they are pretty dirty, obviously from the oil mix, and I do not know when the last time the last owner changed them.

[@xSUPERoMANx]

@@CTRadventures Fuel flow issue. Test it on a small 6 gallon tank and see if the problem is resoolved. Use all new fuel lines. Ther grey lines will come apart inside and cause fuel restrictions. Will drive you mad trying to figure out the issue. Dont use the grey fuel lines.

[@gillesgomez3091]

Great video, as usual. I am always learning something watching them. Very interesting, thank you.

My pleasure!

[@EV1NRUDE]

Interesting. I love getting such boating content daily. Can’t thank you enough

[@BornAgainBoating]

Nice! Noted, thanks!

[@adam1556]

Happened the same with my mercury motors. Had those sensor bypassed by local tech. Now perfect!

[@calvynvandenberg6943]

Great video with clear explanations. Pleasure to watch!

[@BornAgainBoating]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tayyibhenderson2844]

Needed this video 16 months ago when that sensor on one of the verados I look after did this.took me way longer than I’d like to have worked it out. And it the problem persisted even after changing the sensor..(after an hour of normal operation)

[@acouey123]

I have a 2020 mercury 200hp 4 stroke. It will not trim all the way up to engage the service arm. It did only one time when I first picked it up from the dealership. Is there a way to calibrate without having to take to a stealership? I don’t have the smart gauges like you showed. I only have analog gauges and VesselView mobile.

[@mrfarmer532]

Thanks ! Very educational video

[@floridasaltlife]

I really enjoy your videos and Thanks for sharing your knowlage.

[@Fireship1]

Great info! Thanks!

[@BornAgainBoating]

No problem!

[@goatwhsprr]

That must've been a Franklin's worth of WOT 🤣

[@JoeDonaggio]

Funny enough my 2016 Robalo with a F150XB is having the same issue. WOT is limited to 2300 rpm and 9.5mph. The throttle feels stiff as well. Currently waiting for the marina to look at it.

[@raybuttigieg1343]

be mindful on those guages that different display options are available on the speedo and tach.

[@samlove933]

i have an boat im working on that wont get on plane going straight but when turned left it takes off full. Any suggestions where to start?

[@rogerreed9768]

Are the trim sensors tied in with the oil tank level sensor units? I had a intermittent issue with a two stroke Yamaha oil tank and putting engine in a low rpm/limp mode. But for a two stroke engine I've noticed WOT doesn't seem to be happening. Like there should be more available.

[@nichesound]

Born again...you guys kill me...no one in there right mind is going to take apart an engine and fix it in open waters...we have enough problems just in our driveways!!!! ...great stuff boiz!!! Johnne in Clallam Bay/Sekiu Washington..look that one up..HALIBUT CITY@!!@

[@fernandoroque7261]

My motor doing the same i need to change this sensor only or need to programate

What prop u have on it?

[@dillodays3471]

What cup holders r those at the helm?

[@ericderace]

What do I need to be able to connect my laptop to my mercury FourStroke engine like that?

[@gherickb8181]

I have a 2 stroke Johnson 235 but those cables are cut , receiving water and my engine won’t go up 3k RPM can be that ?????????

[@malekodesouza7255]

I would never have thought of trim. I would assume overheat or something else.

[@ericdavi1231]

Did you get any more speed out of that new prop?

[@thomassemich4627]

Good call!

[@thatyeet2319]

What year and power is this motor

[@mikeyd.234]

Guess a spare trim sensor cable should be added to the vessel’s onboard toolbox now?

[@HookedOnTuna]

Had one fail on a 150hp merc this week. Limited engine to about 2500rpm. Customer couldn’t believe a trim sender would cause the problem. It’s unfortunate the way the sensor circuits are wired on the newer stuff that it can’t just be unplugged. Reducing engine power over a faulty trim sender seems like more harm than good. Imagine being offshore and having a miserable ride home because of something stupid unnecessary to operation of the engine. It would be understandable if it’s an oil or a cooling issue.

[@thediplomasta5891]

Good idea to carry some spare parts. This should be one of them. Even if you can't install it out on the water, you can just plug it in and turn the rheostat to the right position until the motor is happy, to get yourself home.

[@claudequeen6614]

can you tell me if I've got to pull the power head off in order to change one piston out in this the bottom piston on 115 horsepower Johnson V4 do I have to pull the power head off or can I change out the Piston with it and on the you know the housing and all just pull the head off and then I can just go ahead and do whatever can I pull the back end of it all the bottom end whatever you want to call it to change it out could you please comment me back and let me know thank you and have a blessed night and be safe 🙏

[@lakeratatouille]

Oh you don't know what's going on? That's the new green deal gas limiter. A.K.A. The Bidenator / build back better BSer. You don't need to worry about ICE propulsion much longer. Sailboats are the future. But they won't have sails only windmills on them that will power a minkota. Keep your head down the blades are sharp.

[@francisvantuyle]

You are a master mechanic.

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

But what temp are ya running down yonder at WOT???? no one will ever tell me the temps they run in hot florida water, at WOT.

[@preston0877]

Does this apply to all merc engines? I have an old I/O 7.4 with an alpha 1. The trim position sensor wires corroded away and are no longer connected so i just cut away the excess. I don't have a position indicator so i didn't bother replacing them. I can't get the engine above 2900rpm. It was like this when i bought it so i have nothing to compare it to.

[@mikeepoxymoronmason8211]

No trim has no effect on this model

[@CorpseGrinder1967]

I have a question....you are reading the botttom depth at WOT and not losing it. What transducer are you using and I guess I should ask where is it mounted? Through hull or tansom mount?

[@hankschrader149]

That's a great question I lose mine as soon as I'm on plane lol

[@onegobossofficial]

hey man i am looking for a cowling hood for a 2006 25hp yamaha can you help me out

[@michaelpierne]

i LOVE THIS CHANNEL

[@sherricksmith4311]

My engine picking up and dropping at high rpm,sometime getting up on plane it's jerking

[@adlwarth373]

Hello, the real cause of this problem is the propeller pitch. It's not only your engine, it will happen to all the engines in the world haha. The pitch of your propeller grips the water so well that the engine does not have enough force to keep make more rpm, you just need to switch up to a propeller with less pitch. Good luck

[@billwallenstein3387]

I love the sound of a Verado

[@samtheman1965]

Love the videos

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thanks so much!

[@maccarrillo5289]

Mine starts sputtering after a few min of running i shut off for a while than it can start again any ideas sure sounds like a fule problem how can i troubleshoot? Edit. Turns out it was a fule line problem carb line was leaking fule couldn't see it till it completely came apart at the carb bowl. Replacing them soon

[@mconner262]

sounds like a temperature issue. I would make sure your water pump and thermostat are both working. (disclaimer) I fix people, not boats. :)

[@medjoolmaker]

Trade that anchor in for a Yamaha

[@500_niko]

Hey bro I have a 2000 or 01 Yamaha 50 and it starts and runs but as soon as I give it gas it will die it was runing decent 2 months ago where it would go about 15 mph but also die if given too much gas. Do you think it’s the carbs or this trim sensor?

[@tonyv9712]

Most likely it's the carbs. I would clean and check the float level, needle valve sticking, etc

[@500_niko]

@@tonyv9712 also going to check the low pressure fuel pump as they do go bad after 20 years I would imagine

[@ultrasonikguy]

I have a problem where the rpm reva to 5000 but after a minute it falls to 3500 or 4000 rpm. Any idea what's the problem?

[@ultrasonikguy]

Sorry forgot to mention.. Its a 150 merc fourstroke.

[@captainrickyfla6170]

Great video bro

[@BornAgainBoating]

Glad you enjoyed

[@mchet9699]

[@uncommonsense9395]

Do you happen to know if the trim sensor on the Honda behaves this way or provides any feedback to the ECM? I don't see anything in the service manual but the index and table of contents are less than helpful. I think both of mine are stuck in the up position.

[@geraldkoth654]

Running a 4 stroke wide open is exactly what the motor makers want. You will not get even 5 years out of that motor. A two stroke on the other hand will run wide open and still be perfect after 50 years. Once reed valves were put in two strokes they were perfected. No other mods should have been made. First horrible idea was oil injection. Ruined more motors faster than a handful of sand thrown into the intakes.

[@thediplomasta5891]

You are correct about all of that.

[@juk-hw5lv]

Technology does progress. Boomers always think the old was better

[@thediplomasta5891]

@@juk-hw5lv ok genius. How many oil pumps are on a new seadoo?! You clearly don't own a jet ski. My first one was $300. Now it is somehow fashionable to pay $20k for one?! If you think that's better, then the ovens are right this way sir.

[@chrisabens2915]

So my 2005 225 Verado goes full throttle and trims just fine. The trim sensor does read properly. But it WILL NOT adjust the trim above 4500RPM. Anybody got any ideas? I'm boating on a budget is why its not at the dealer yet

[@PKB94]

but it still goes above 4500?

[@jayderwin1]

Does it go to a certain point then quit trimming? May be a difference between trim and tilt,

[@chrisabens2915]

@@PKB94 yes it goes all the way to 6280 rpm, but it won’t trim up or down above 4500. Really weird. It works off of the switch on the side of the motor, but not from the console

Why is that laptop screen flashing like that? Hard on the eyes.

[@preston0877]

Cameras have a hard time looking at LCD screens. Point your phone camera at your laptop and it will look basically the same.

[@CynideCypher]

laptop puts out 30 fps and the camera shutter is 60 fps. so you see 2 different frames on the laptop at the same time making that effect. just like when you film helicopter rotors

[@CptAJbanned]

This is what bugs me about sensor proliferation these days, its prescriptive nature. Its fine that it takes care of the engine but if I unplug it, you should let it go. Or at least give me a way to disable the feature at my own risk. I want engines from mercury. Not a babysitter.

[@austech360]

*giggles* Yeah! Exactly! I appreciate the sensors for the data they give, but using them to control and limit what I do with the motor is so overkill these days. I also hate how the Mercury software is so proprietary! I have plenty of laptops. Make the sale of the diagnostic cables, and the software open for everyone to use. If you screw up your own motor, that's your fault. This is part of what "Right to repair" is about. I bought the motor, I paid good money for it, I should be allowed to plug into it and see what sensors are wonky and be able to fix it myself!
