    F150 rough idle and $13,500 later.

    Sorry if this was posted twice. Well the corrosion was pretty bad, exhaust cover, head and elsewhere to the point repair was out of the question. Left over F150 was $13,500 with new gauges, controls and installation. Engine was 2005 with 1000 hours and used in salt water but always flushed and...

    F150 rough idle solved but was caused by bigger problem

    I previously posted the rough idle on my 2005 F150HP .Turns out the exhaust cover at the very base was leaking water and fumes. With the cowling off the idle was fine. With the cowling in place the engine would stall out because the engine would be sucking fumes and not air. Looks like my...

    F150 engine life.

    I have a 2005 F150 with 1000 hours on it . Used in salt water but always flushed out with fresh water. It started to leak exhaust gas and water at the very bottom of the exhaust cover. Thinking it is time to replace. Any thoughts on engine life would be appreciated.

If I increase the rpm to 700 while in neutral using the lever on the remote throttle and gear module at the...

    Dap silicone sealer OK above the water line

    Hi folks. I am in the process of replacing the lenco actuators. The cable thru the transom took a little while as it was bedded in, I believe, 3M 5200. Has anyone used DAP silicone sealer that is used in fish tanks. It's about 1/5 the cost of 3M but more important I think it may be easier to...

    Cheaper ring free and yamaha oil filters

    Getting low on ring free and oil filters so I searched the web and found cycleshops were selling ring free with the quarts anywhere from $36 to $40 or about what you would pay at a marine store. However it seems the pricing for the small bottles...3.2 oz are far cheaper per ounce.... 10, 3.2 oz...

    cheap spark plugs

    Was headed to my local marine shop to pick up plugs for the F150 which takes NGK 6376 LFR5A-11. Decided to stop at an AID auto store along the way. They do not stock that plug locally but their main warehouse does. Had to buy a box of 10 which was delivered to the local store the next day at...

    F150 gear chatter

    I started up my F150 after winter storage using ear muffs for cooling. Started right up with a good stream out the tell tale hole. I noticed what can be best described as a clicking or chatter from the lower unit when I briefly put it in gear to test the shifting. It is not gear grinding and...

    wiper blades...cheap fix

    I have a 2120 SC and replaced the original 12 inch wiper blades with 14 inch Trico Teflon blades #15-140. The bayonet arm fits perfectly with no need for adapters. Aid auto stores has these on sale for $8 with a $5 rebate for a pair. Final cost $11. The new blades work great and cover a little...

    Moving Racor water seperator / fuel filter?

    I have the 2120 SC with the Racor clear bowl fuel/water seperator located in the bilge. I understand that regs require a metal bowl when the filter is located below decks even for an outboard. I like the idea of the clear bowl which allows easy inspection. Am thinking of relocating the filter in...

    hydraulic tilt trim question

    I have the F150 on the 2120 SC. Have always retracted the trim rams and left the engine on the "dog" ear locks to protect them from marine growth as recommended in the manual. The tilt ram however remains exposed. The trim rams are out of the water about 1 1/2 inches and the tilt ram is even...

    Yamaha F150 trim indicator

    I have a 2006 Yamaha F150. The "bars" on the engine trim indicator at times will go up or down by themselves. I usually set the trim at 4 and the bars will jump 1 or two levels, either up or down. Most of the time it remains where I set it. I checked the plastic ring at the engine and it is...

    Source for Parker glass

    Had to replace the sliding window glass. As it is tempered glass it is almost impossible to obtain it quickly locally as it can not be cut rather it has to be made to the exact shape and would take 3 weeks and big $$. Found where Parker gets their glass from....Water Bonnett ,Taylor Made Glass...
