Good stuff thanks! Definitely go with a true spark plug wire removal tool or you’ll mess up the boots. So much to cover here. Inspecting reeds, fuel and air pressures etc. did you ever get the actual hours using vessel view?
@@stephenbarkley7868 Good point, that’s why in the next videos I hook up a key switch. It’s only the older motors that would have spark that way. Sometimes I just think out loud. Thank you for your comment
Great Vid, have a 200 opti that I did a total rebuild, however I think one of my temp sensors are bad, did not replace. Put engine on my ddt and got no reading of running hot, do you know how to test temp sensor, can't find int he manual, ohm test?
@@mercman2.5 OK, best I understand is if you go over temp it grounds. You can remove and dunk in boiling water and test with meter. A little tricky so may be easier just to replace
@@mercman2.5 good luck! Let me know how it works. Remember, Free outboard buying guide to my subscribers! $20 value just email me keith@outboarddad.com
@@Fearless_5280 yes, this way no spark when testing compression. In an upcoming video I go further into ignition and spark. Thank you for your comment!
Hello, very nice video there :) I have a problem with my mercury 150 optimax. I have smartcraft and gauges connected to it. The smartcraft works fine, but the gauges only works once in a while. The voltage on the gauges drops to 1 and 2 volts. Have you ever had this problem and knows a fix? :)

@@biodot88 yes and thank you, has 44.4 hrs!
Why would you think you would have a spark when there is no power to the ecm?

I have the same engine. What did you do to jump it out to preform compression test? Thank you.

Ok, always start with the basics, how old is your battery, cables? We can do some tests if you have a multimeter. May be better to talk on the phone
@@OutboardDad hey again. Battery is new, and cabels are fine. Battery and generator have good voltage. Its only the gauges that lose the voltage.
Ok, let me know if you want we can face time or talk when you are working on it. Email me keithm5734@verizon.net
Nice Part 1 video...the adventure continues
Thank you, let’s get together and do a video about your boating experience.
Thank you, very well done.
Your welcome, let me know what you want to see next
Nice video. Swivels and swivel sockets are a must when working on outboards. And tools are only as good as the person using them
@@brianpung9693 I agree, the tools do not make the mechanic. Appreciate your comments
I agree, the tools do not make the mechanic! Thanks for sharing
