    Wondering who rebuilds Mercury 93 ECM's!?

    No , never did get a good answer to that question. Pretty sure my problem has to do with my fuel pump.

    Wondering who rebuilds Mercury 93 ECM's!?

    Just wondering if anyone has an experience with getting an ECM rebuilt? Who did you use and how much did the repair cost.? I have an older 1993 Mercury xri efi 175 and am just curious about the cost and what they do when they repair the ECM.

    Voltage Regulators

    I was wondering if you had any suggestions on where to get new coils and wires?

    Mercury 175 efi timing question

    I dont know if the timing should be set to 0 or 9 degrees ATDC. The motor has a shift stabilizer and an idle stabilizer module. The manual gives what appears to be a range instead of one number for the idle timing. 0 -9degrees. I dont understand this?

    Mercury 175 efi timing question

    Does anyone know why, the timing specs for the Mercury 175 EFI look like there is a range given for setting the idle timing? I dont know if the timing should be set to 0 or 9 degrees ATDC. The motor has a shift stabilizer and an idle stabilizer module. I have set the timing to 3 degrees...

    Voltage Regulators

    So the boat isnt surging at the high speeds, just the tach is jumping up and down between 4 and 5 thousand. Will changing the yellow wires around make a difference or using the other regulator make a difference?

    Voltage Regulators

    So I lake tested the boat last weekend. I did notice that the tach will now jump up and down at high speeds about a 1000 rpm. I assume that this is due to the new regulators. I hooked the tach to the other regulator to see if it is going to do the same thing. It seems to be stable at the low...

    Voltage Regulators

    I put on the new regulators yesterday after checking the ohm readings on the regulators and the new ones did pass the ohms test like my old ones wouldn't. I then started up the motor on the hose and noticed that when I turned on the key it cranked, fired and quit very quickly. All in 1 to 2...

    Voltage Regulators

    I was noticing that the regulators that I ordered have an additional Black wire. I assume that that is a ground wire. Should it just be grounded to one of the mounting screws for the regulators?

    Voltage Regulators

    OK, So I ordered the new regulators and should have them here on Monday. Will install them and retest and see how it goes. Has anyone heard that using a maintenance free battery is not recommended on an outboard because of the way it charges?

    Voltage Regulators

    So you are using these on your boat now? If so how long have you used them ? Do they have any sort of warranty?

    Voltage Regulators

    So I was changing the fuel lines on my motor the other day and noticed that I have some tan goo running down both sides of my engine. Wasnt sure what it was, but sure it was not normal and look like it was coming from under the flywheel area. So I start the research and phone calls. Well it...

    Fuel Lines

    Well I replaced the lines with what they had at the marina. I was able to get type a1-15 lines for the line from the tank to the primer bulb and up to the engine. I put 3/8 line on instead of the 5/16 line that was on it. The other black line that was 5/16 on the engine was made by gates...
