It's times like this I miss my 1967 2-stroke outboard! ☺.... I will watch this video at least a dozen time so I can learn every word you said; It is amazing how you can fit a hundred 'pounds of information' into a 5 pound sack!.... And, how in the world did your hat stay on your head at the end of the video... it had to be glued to your head!

[@rehaerman6519]

I have a 2006 4 stroke Yamaha with the most important sensors. All the additional bells are whistles are just trouble! Sometimes it’s just better to have an older model which means less things can go wrong and that means less to worry about 😄 Planning to hold on to my Yamaha as long as I can!!

[@2fast4you25]

I im soooo happy with my 2 stroke smokers, hope they dont outlaw them ever. Got 2 Yamaha 250hp, best motors I ever have, reliable, always ready to fire, fast, takes nothing to keep them up, easy to work on and cheap. I have two extra power heads that I keep already rebuilt just in case I need to swap. I have friends that have 4 stroke and all I see is problems, high bills and headached. This engines will outlive me so im good to go. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

How about all that smoke? Don't you get tired of smelling the fumes? When I am stuck behind a 2 stroke while getting out of the marina and where we all need to go idle speed, it's just unbearable!!! Even if I keep a long distance, I can still smell all that fume! I just can't imagine being on board and inhaling all that toxic gas all the way!!!

[@2fast4you25]

@@rehaerman6519 NOPE its in my DNA already, if I dont smell it I dont feel like Im boating. 🤪🤪😜😜🤣🤣. Any way if the oil pump is well tunned, there should not be that much smoke. The ones you see smoking a lot is 2 things, is ether oil pum is not set right or they are preemixing.

[@rehaerman6519]

@@2fast4you25 Good point! In my younger days, my dad had a 2 stroke Mercury, that engine was quite temperamental, not as reliable as my Yamaha. I can only speak for Yamahas because I own one. I NEVER had any issues with my 4 stroke Yamaha (knock on wood) but I have been using non-ethanol fuel since day 1 and always get is serviced on time and always flush the engine after each use and change my fuel/water separator religiously every six months and spray the entire engine with Yamalube every six months as well. Those people who are having issues with their 4 stroke are most likely not doing the basic maintenance. I also love how quiet and fuel efficient the engine is!

Born Again Boating Mercury came out with a new outboard. 360 APX

[@williampowell8475]

Great video. Would one of these sensors cause your engine to surge? Engine will ru fine for awhile, the will start surging. Have to raise engine up, lower it back down, then will run again fine. Sometimes it will occur again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[@vincenttrapani6331]

Once again you have enlightened me

[@jglez4965]

Great video great explanation 👍

[@BornAgainBoating]

Glad it helped

[@Ambis-charter]

Hi Technicians, love your channel, need your help. I have Mercury EFI 150 (2018). Cold start in the morning, the engine starts right away. After driving for some time and after the engine heats up - when I turn off the engine and try to start it again, it fails to start (It shuts down immediately). I can still start it by adding more neutral-throttle (gas). I've tried changing MAP, IAC and just changed FSM. Any suggestions? TPS? CPS? I believe it is something that it is something sensitive to temperature because when it's cold, no problems starting. Thanks Mario

[@عزالخوي-ه7ظ]

All thanks for sharing this information with us, as I have benefited a lot through this channel I would like to know how to check the sensor if it is working Finally, I would like to buy a repair manual, so what is your advice to me?

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thank you for the support! Testing the sensors would best be done through the test procedures in the manual ;) so getting the manual for whatever engine you have, would be a great idea! Having the digital gauges for whatever your engine is, will also show you a ton of information about what the sensors are reading and allow you to see the readings as well!

[@iamremyAdventures]

Good Stuff.. so if my mercury 4 stroke 115hp is shanking and back firing.. what sensor just I check

[@jamesburke5709]

I'm curious can you take a ohms meter and check out the different sensors on the motor and tell if they are good or bad so you will know if it needs to be replaced or not

[@oliveus]

My question also. If not, surely there is an equivalent to the OBD car computer under crash car scanners available everywhere? They find bad sensors very accurately for diy.

[@tobyvancleave9238]

Where is the neutral safety switch located on a 2015 mercury 175 two stroke? Currently it will not get past 3000 rpm and someone told me to check that.

[@OfficerDave78]

A lot of technology in outboards today.

[@frankwhite6356]

looking for some help for my 2019 merc 115 four stroke. I am getting a fuel in water alarm on my smart craft gauge; however, my fuel water separator has no sensor. It’s a quick silver filter in my bilge. I’m confused as to why I would be getting the alarm when I do not have a water in fuel sensor on my particular model on the engine nor in my fuel water separator. When I empty out water separator, there is no fuel in the canister. Any suggestions?

[@davidbarrett9229]

Great video thanks I got my shirts Friday

[@BornAgainBoating]

Have fun!

[@tomdrummy4984]

At 5:30 you mentioned why the gears grind. Could you explain that further please. Thank you

[@BornAgainBoating]

It's in the shifting of the lower unit. There is a gear called a clutch dog that engages the gears when you go into either forward or reverse. Those gears are spinning as fast as the engine is spinning if not a little bit faster because of the size of the gears. So when you shift, if you shift slowly, those gears are not getting fully engaged and will grind. When you are at a slow RPM and shift quickly to the detent position, it "pops" those gears together and takes away that grinding, prolonging the life of the lower unit. These videos might help some: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6mTfXh3jNh4lc0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/epa9gK2wo9SafNk&t

[@TheLusus]

Hi guys and thanks for a great YT Chanel with loads of tips n trix around my boat! I got a question about the cable grommit ploping out on my Mercury EFI 100. It seems to be a well known problem and I cant really find a good fix for it. Could that be covered in a video perhaps? IF you can find or come up to a fix that isn't to invasive on the engine plastics? Thanks again for a great Chanel and greetings from Stockholm Sweden.

[@BornAgainBoating]

You might have to try and make the rigging tube or wrap a little longer, some way to take the stress off of the grommet, then it should stay in place, if not, maybe that grommet is worn out and you could get a new one. Not really much else to be done about it unfortunately :(

[@TheLusus]

@@BornAgainBoating The rigging tube? The plastic flexibel hose leading the cables from the hull to the engine? The thing is that the grommet is brand new, and my friends Mercury has the same issue. As soon as you tilt the engine up when in dock the grommit plops out. Also my threaded brass insert on the front broke lose due yo me overtightening the bolt holding that part of the engine colw(?) holding the grommit in place. I used epoxy to re-seat it and that on holds now but the grommit keep ploping out. Look into it, if you cold figure out a fix and make a video about it that video would spread among Merc-users i asume.

[@TheBenbeyer]

I enjoyed the video and even though I do not currently own a boat, I still have an interest in owning one when my kids get older. I grew with 2 strokes and still have my Grandfather's 1971 Mercury Model 110 (9.8 hp). My dad had a jon boat that he upgraded from my Grandfather's outboard to a 25 hp and then later bought a Ranger. Even though this was pre-DFI outboards and the Merc 115 on the Ranger was carbureted, I thought the oil injection was pretty cool since we no longer had to mix the oil with the gas. How many of these sensors were on the carbureted outboards in the pre-EFI and pre-DFI era? I know the 115 had the spedo, water cooling pressure, and an oil sensor (it went bad while running back across the lake once), but some of these in the video are of course for fuel injection and a 2 stroke doesn't have a cam shaft.

[@BornAgainBoating]

Yeah, most of the two stroke just have the temp sensors, crank sensor, some have oil sensor floats, and the pitot and water pressure sensors :) Two-strokes were very simple, they just loved to drink gas!

[@flywelder]

Very helpful! Like all your videos! Kind of makes me scared to have a new engine though! And just hang on to my old one. If you're looking for ideas how about installing your own Bimini top? Or installing a add on to a Bimini? And doing this to a open bow family type boat. Looking forward to the our cruiser IO videos you're going to be doing! Especially those older four cylinder models.(hint,hint)

[@mahedasamuel5392]

[@hoangtran3237]

Thanks for all the info you've provided on you channel, they very helpful. I have 2006 Suzuki 250 AP recently has code 3-6 and engine run first 25miles perfect, than it loosing the power and RPM started jumping up and down, eventually stalled. I replace the O2 sensor, put boat in water 3-6 came right back, hit exit button it gone since, but the RPM problem still persist. It perform more steady at 2400, but if I go pass that, it'll jumping till stalled. What should I check next? Thank you millions in advance for your advice. Checked the shop where I live, 10 week is the wait till someone can take a look at the engine.

My 300 verado 2009 model is giving me a hard 4500 rev limiter. More throttle u give the harder the limiter. I cant trim up if I put the throttle past 1500 in gear. Forward or reverse the trim shuts off. Do you think its the tps or the trim sender malfunctioning. ?

[@shingnosis]

What happens if you restrict the fuel to a Verado engine at high rpm? For instance because of a clogged fuel filter etc. Does it have a fuel pressure sensor? Will it run lean or cut out? Any risk of engine damage or will the ecu protect it?

[@BornAgainBoating]

Generally, it will just start to shake and it won't get to WOT, youll know when you lose fuel pressure :) and if it starts to happen, yes you should get it fixed and not run it like that for too long.

[@Shhnee]

If you shift the gear from like 1200 rpms in forward to the same or more in reverse quickly is it bad for the engine? Other than the gearstaft. This is on electric shift

[@BornAgainBoating]

Yes. Its bad for the lower unit, not the power head so much, but it will definitely wear out the gear case

[@BornAgainBoating]

You just need to turn it off. Turn the key on, press and hold the mode and plus button. It will say menu, then screens, and calibration after that. I believe it's in the calibration menu, let go of the buttons once you see calibration and click next until you get to the pitot screen and select not installed or disable or something like that. Then it won't pop up anymore! It might be in the screens menu, youll have to look around in there
