Depends on which tiller you get. the new or old style. Never messed with the new style with trim in the handle. With the old style, you will need a remote kit, reverse the gear on the throttle shaft...
They say it is 1000' buoy to buoy. I don't know if they use a range finder or not, but it is close to that.
You need my little merc chopper in the classifieds Nason! Put a hub in it and 7500 shouldn't be any problem once the motor loosens up a little.
thanks for the offer Mike. Prop arrived the other day.
Thanks for your help. Looks like the seller has had a change of heart.
Thanks 1100r. Yeah you would think someone would be willing to help me out, but no such luck as of yet. What is HR??
Maybe I need to be a little more specific. I'm needing help buying a prop from a guy that will only deal locally. I can PayPal, send check or money order and will include a nice little bonus for your...
Anybody on this board from that area? I'm needing a little help.

This prop in a 21 pitch would be a...
Gear ratio on the 60 etec is 2.67:1
Boat isn't for sale anymore...I gotta come whoop all y'all cache and white river boys. The hook is the same as trim tabs except its a more fluid approach compared to trim tabs which are more abrupt...
Yep...I haven't slowed a boat down yet doing that either.
Also said to try a low rake prop instead of that 20+ degree raker, weld trim tabs on the back and adjust them accordingly, put a higher...
I wouldn't waste your time. I've told him countless times over the last 4 or so months how to fix his boat to sit back on its tail and run out and he has yet to try anything I have told him.
The first of these boats were produced a year ago this past September I think. It's a new boat, but the guy that is building them is the guy that started Excel boats which look similar, but are...
11" diameter with some cup added. Turning around 6290 rpms.
Mike in any other boat I would say you are right, but this hull is not any other hull. It really lifts out of the water. Aside from...
Edge Boats by Waco is the fastest boat made. Faster and much more durable than weldbilt. The hull design is more along the lines of a performance hull as opposed to just a slight v bottom boat of a...
I bought one of these props off of ebay as well after turning a 11X18 4-blade 6400 at 54.4 mph. My motor as a little more done to it than what you listed, but I'm thinking it should turn about...
88, what do you mean a cold engine will wear itself out?
Where can I find a hotter thermostat for a 40 merc?
just buy a new one...they are cheap enough @ $50.
Thanks for clearing that up. I'll be looking at other, more durable reed options then, because the durability just wasn't there for me with the sport reeds.
I was under the impression that the sport reeds were the thinnest he made and they increased in thickness to the racing and to the drag reeds.
I ate up a set of sport reeds really quick (less...
fs5,
any luck with the cut tuner?
call him and ask which one's he recommends at that rpm range. He will know best since he is the one that makes them.
How much difference will that make Jackson? Which 1.63 gears fit into the 40/50 case?
Thanks fs5,
How much weight did that take off? Do you feel the gain is worth the cost?
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've got a spare that I would like to have lightened.
Thanks
jets are different, numbers are different, but mercury seems to have made a new carb for these motors everyother week based on their numbers. I really just need to know if the venturi is the same. I...
Surely somebody knows what the difference is in these two carburetors??? The reason I ask is I'm needing a set of 60 carbs, but have only been able to find 50's for sale and don't have a way to...
Hey guys!
What's the difference between the 3 cyl mercury 50 hp carbs and the 60 hp carbs? Is the venturi bigger on the 60's or is it just a matter of jetting and timing?
Thanks.
I'm having a terrible time with my boat porpoising. The boat is a 1548 aluminum with 8* V and I am currently running 6" of set-back. I run either a 25hp yamaha 3 cylinder or a 40hp Mercury 3...
Those jets are for the M50D carbs. They will fit in the M40's.
Should I run reed stops on my 40 merc with 60 carbs and worked reed plate or should I just use the reed retainers like on a 60?
Currently turning a 15p 6200 rpms. The guy that did the reed plate...
The diaphragm on the front side of the pump that is actuated by the top cylinder via vacuum hose was breaking down (delaminating) thus flooding the top cylinder at WOT. Fixed that issue and it ran...
Got a chance to run the motor this evening after putting a new fuel pump kit in. It ran like a scalded dog. 400 rpms and 3 mph gained. I ran the .060 jets and did a WOT electrical shut down plug...
I did the WOT/kill switch plug check on the water and not on the trailer. The plugs were as described. Only the top plug was black. The middle and bottom plugs were tanned.
I'm not sure if it was...
I'm running a water/fuel filter separator so I have no worries of getting trash in the carbs.
I ran the motor yesterday and tried pumping the bulb with no change in performance, the fuel filter...
Where can I get the other size jets at specifically the 56's?
The next size down that I have are 58's so I'll give them a try. I also removed the in-line fuel filter between the carb and the pump. Just gotta wait until monday to get back to my boat and try all...
I'm not positive that it is not starving for fuel...I really never thought about that until now. I'm keeping fresh fuel (no older than a week from the pump) in at all times and always add a...
Rev limiter has been disconnected
Bill,
My motor and the other motor that the carbs ran great on are the exact same motors. Both 59 cubic inch 3 cylinder 40 mercurys. Both are long shaft,...
I've got a 2003 40 hp Mercury that is giving me fits. Its the 59 ci 3 cylinder 2 -stroke motor.
I've had the reed plate worked over, the reed stops are still in place, but have been bent out it...
I've seen a couple pictures of a 30hp yamaha with a 40/50 yamaha tiller on it. Due to the set-back of my set-up, this would be awesome if it in fact can be done with little to no modifications.
...
I'll split the shipping cost with you if I can get a set too.
What's your rpm and mph right now? Prop and pitch? What's static WOT timing on the motor right now?
I haven't measured anything...don't have them in my hand but found some for sale and was curious.
year 2000 or newer models
What (if any) is the issue with putting the 75hp merc carbs on the 40/50/60 motors? They look all the same except the venturi diameter, but I haven't heard of anyone doing this.:confused:
Seems...
I don't know about the gearing, but in your mentioning of motors you are contending with, you forgot the second most important motor aside from the Tohatsu mega and that is the 3 cyl yamaha 25.
FF, I follow you on it....if fuel is not pumped to the empty bottle what steps do I need to take to rectify the problem?
