I attempt to start the serial number on a Mercury outboard 2hp.?

The bonnet is made of plastic, dark gray in color and has "Thruster of Mercury Marine "in white letters on them. I've looked all IT & no part numbers or names anywhere to say what it was made.Usually serial numbers are stamped to the mounting bracket, but on this one. Does anyone know what model year is my description? I have a picture of it here if I can somehow get. I have a new fuel valve of a broken and replaced my local Mercury dealer says that the component is no longer available and does not know the age of the engine. Thanks.

My friend had a Mercury outboard motor and had the same problem, he contacted a dealer and they told him that on an aluminum core plug on the side of the block, had been a powerful model but not sure if this will help, check it out anyway, it may destroy your engine.

What is the minimum horsepower requirement for a boat to plane?

I would meter is constructed from aluminum planing boat for three occupants, length about 5 to 6, with a light and low, fully enclosed, aluminum cabin. It's supposed to be a commuter boat for use on the Otago Harbour in the south of New Zealand. I want to be able to see the plane, but the maximum speed is 25 knots – which I hope to do, give or take about 8 knots. I like the idea of using a Yanmar diesel outboard. They come with 39 hp. Would I need that much? Thanks.

I would say you have a hope in hell. For a boat that size, and this would at least 90hp I would say, if you're in goping swelling or raw condistions etc then a min of 115, which is rated the boat because that will give you an idea.

The cost of the diesel engine installed on the boat?

I am looking at buying an old 38ft sailboat with a diesel engine to be replaced. What is an estimated cost of replacing the old engine and have a new engine installed? Assuming that the new engine will be something of a 35 hp Yanmar installed deisle by a Yanmar dealer (dealer says that they are required to review before they are all quote me – but I do not want the boat to buy one until I estimate). Any ballpark figures are based on experience? Thanks!

I have installed quite a few over the years and pay for some, including a Yanmar is less than 35 hp, in a thirty meters sloop. (I think it's a 18hp). But it's not really the size of the unit that the final bill impact. It's things like the state of the boat, what the condition of the carriers, exhaust system, electricity and fuel are in, whether it's a gasoline-to diesel-changing, water cooled air cooled to amend, etc. All these add some extra time. So would more. The best comparison From my personal experience with a complete re-install, I did that with a 20hp Bukh, so the engine compartment can be given a complete clean up and paint, and unit data new mounts, clutch, a sump pump and a thorough service, etc. – all that was done by the boat owner, while the unit was removed. Apart from the fact that, as a thoroughbred marine diesel engines that was extremely heavy, there was no 'extra' work here at all. Failed engine / motor back into just hook up and align everything, and testing. This was £ 2,000. (UK) That's a rate of $ 3.637 today [May 8, 2010] Dealers usually charge more (per hour) but have much less work to do to obtain all necessary bits and pieces when they are in stock. -|–)

How Australia transportation, an outboard motor to NZ?

I am buying a 35 hp Yanmar diesel outboard engine in Australia, because they do not seem to exist, somewhere near me here in the south of NZ. Problem is: How can I get that thing to my house, where the boat is that I? Can not very easily slip it in the mail, can?

Can I suggest a company called Navis on the crate and prepare for the trip, they can accuse a shipment of large shipping company. Navis will insure your engine but it must be to do with the boxes, they will probably contact someone like UPS, Fed Ex. or DHL shipping to the actual doing. Success

Learn Sailboat Motor Gearbox Reconditioning, Part 1

The gearbox on the yacht of a friend, began to play until recently. This is a simple Hurth gear box with a lever with three positions – forward, aft and neutral – that is all you need for the vessel in half. From time to time slipped out of gear when going forward and after a few seconds later clutching again and go back up. This was fine for a while, but noted that, as always, these failures gradually deteriorate and become worse, not better, and that at some point in the future would need a little attention. Sure enough and it gets worse left off the team more time before returning again to the point where they decided to take some positive action.

Apart from that is, potentially hazardous unable to go astern when docking, etc., or consequential damages resulting from not being able to avoid a collision when under power, is practical of good seamanship to keep right on top of these maintenance work when they occur – not much later, when it could potentially put, his ship, its crew and others at risk. This particular gearbox is a simple Hurth (Hurth 150) a gearbox connected to a marinisa Perkins 4108 (48hp) motor Diesel confusing history. The ship was built in 1988 and the engine could have had hours on it before marinisa. The Hurth have installed new at the time and twenty thousand five hundred hours have been worked into the mix in subsequent years.

Next a considerable amount of research we have located a marine engineer, who can to service and repair the gearbox we can provide it. This is the point that we are currently in now, and up to diving in the bilge to decouple the shaft the gearbox and remove the motor gearbox. The date has been set and all goes well we should have of the boat and the engineer on the afternoon of Tuesday 14 April.

Week Santa has arrived and as expected we are living the Easter time classic – overcast, drizzle rain, but warmish – that never fails, no matter what time Easter falls! That being the case presented by one day the task of the second phase of our project to remove the gearbox (challenge) – never a bad idea when dealing with mechanics that with the best will in the world, often are deficient in the time promised.

Fortified with a good cup of tea Patrick (the owner) and I started to work have removed all the side panels around the engine. There is a nice bright light cabin type installed in the engine room so that at least the light will not be a problem. first task is to drain the ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) of the gearbox and this is done without problems with the drain plug is quite loose ease. Then, the shift cable is disconnected from the shifter and hung out of the road. We removed the cable bracket and will also be on the road, when we got to fight the gearbox off the engine hood. So far so good, with all reasonably easily undo the nuts.

Now we come to what is to become the largest part of the heat generating part of the operation and that is to decouple the shaft coupling plates. The shaft must be slid into and gland through about eight inches, to allow coupling of the plates out and the gearbox to work outside their bolts on the hood. Do not want to move. Nothing generates heat faster than two mechanics in a confined space fans busy in a stubborn piece of machinery that do not want to give up your purchase. The axis has been very happy turning while driven by the engine, but once dissociated not want to turn by hand and definitely not wanting to be slid in and sternward through the gland.

The priority is obviously yes packing beds in the aft and stayed in a comfortable position from which objects to being changed. The next step is to extract packing and this is laboriously achieved with a sharpened screwdriver and time. It's been a while (ten years), and the gland was so full that he was stiff, hard and dry. With the packing removed and the greater leverage available try to separate shaft coupling plates. Moves around an inch and stops again. A few minutes later, sweaty and leverage a combination between the plates and a driver turning the coupling plates side by side in the top plate of the shaft and the shaft works five to six centimeters.

This looks good, but we would discover later that it was not too far. The next task is to pick the lock of coupling discs. These are very cleverly jumped from both directions and set screw is not enough space to leave their plates full. This was where we discovered axis and the plate had to go a little further aft. At that time we knew what we were doing and efforts to raise a couple of good and well done. With a long debate on how to remove the bolts of the coupling plates, minutes later and got a lot of squirming away. It was at this point began to speculate on how were going back to riding! Cross that bridge when we get to it was the consensus.

With the coupling of plates were removed quickly closing in our objective. Six nuts are all that now stand between us and the culmination of this part of the job. Surprisingly, all fall apart gently and with an elevation soft pull out of their wooden poles, the gearbox is off the hood and is lying on the floor of the cabin.

In a properly sized bucket, carefully to reduce supply and rowing on land is carried out smoothly. We will take this into Barry sharpish engineers gearbox "bench tomorrow morning leaving him to do the refurbishment which is a work of specialists.

We have set the goal (reminiscent of a "project of Top Gear") to have the gearbox in our hands and installed again on the ship on Saturday – watch this space for part 2.

Diesel Outboard Part 1

Verado outboard oil buyer analysis … cause?

I recently had an oil analysis done on my 2007 Mercury 150XL Verado outboard (100 hours) and the only red flag came back from a high copper content. The recommendation was to "follow closely" and that was of no help … One thing to note – the outcome sheet said the oil is analyzed from a diesel engine, Verado is my gas (duh) … What can cause the buyer of this above-average amount? Thanks!

I think copper would come from the bearings. When this is the first oil change done on the engine would not have metal in the back of the first engine wear. I used to taste Monthly oil in the USCG and send the analysis and said that I never trusted it to begin. The report was almost always bad and you would think the engine was about to fail. Never has. And also said new sample x amount of time. At one time I sent in the new oil from the can and I still have a bad report. The top of this you do not even know whether the oil sample report of your engine!
