- Mercury 25hp- Sea Pro 2007 Model ! How to-Start Engine!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I picked up my new (2nd hand) 2007 25hp Mercury Sea Pro Outboard in June 2015, I had some issues starting it from cold. It would take anywhere from 10 to 20 pulls to get it running. After doing some reading, I learned about a process that gets it running much much easier.
I demonstrate that process how to start the outboard motor from cold here.
Hope you enjoy this video. If you enjoy this video. So please like this video and subscribe to my channel and stay with me.
Thanks for watching 💓!!
Intresting . Will try and let u know!👍
I bought this same motor in 2010 (new) and for the next 5 years the first start of the season was hell. I discovered your video 4 years ago and to my shock it worked perfectly. Each year I use this trick at the beginning of the season and I can't thank you enough for this info. I am 65 so my arm, shoulder, back and neck thank you also.
Hi! Know EXACTLY how to make this engine run a little bit leaner? THX!
Thank you for this video! Yesterday I tried this method of starting our new Mercury 7 hp outboard on our sailboat which I have never been able to do before. It worked leaving the marina and coming back in. I'm grateful because it's the difference between me being able to sail by myself and not.
Thank you! This has been a huge help. Now takes 1 or 2 pulls instead of 7 or 8.
One thing.. you don't have to remove the emergency cut off for this to work.
Thanks broe, your trick really works.
Mate you’re a bloody marvel. Works brill. Just about ready to throw this dumb motor in the drink until you gave this hint. Thanks.
Just tried this for my 2018 Mercury 6hp and it worked perfectly like you stated...thank you🤞🙏
Thanks mate, your tricks working very well. 👍👍
love the puzzles these motors can be. Just figured out a proper starting procedure for my 1995 115hp merc 2-stroke
Yeah - It's funny, a friend of mine actually said that he thinks that each of these older motors have personalities and quirks of their own!
Hey I kind of figured this out on my own, great motor. I have a 2012 but I don't seem to have to pull the killswitch. Just pull the choke one pull then push it back in and she starts right away. Good video!
Thanks for sharing this video i tried this and it work perfectly as shown on the video......
Thanks for the video...can u do a video of how you mixing the oil in your 25 litre fuel tank thanks
I have the exact same brand new motor and have been having trouble starting it. I'll try your starting method next week. Looking forward to not tearing my shoulder ligaments off every time I start it.
Mate - Let me know if it works for you! Discovering this little hack saved my shoulder. Sold this engine earlier in the year, but would be curious to hear if it works.
What if the electronics are hooked up to boat? Should I still open choke and pull the cord before turning key?
it works beacuse it means that when you pull it without spark it pump fuel into the cylinder, so then when you pull it with spark theres more fuel to ignite
I don’t know how with rest of owners but I noticed every time trying to start with choke out the engine is getting flooded with fuel and after removing spark plug they are wet. So i try always to start only with handle on starting point and without choke. For me works better. But i will try your method as well
you can try it ,
@@MattKellyFishing found a guide table for starting this motor in the manual for the engine. There are three conditions and below 15*C it is choke out and pull starter untill combustion occurs. Of course with grip on starting position. Than close choke after first combustion and continue starting with grip on start position. This manual works good now only we replaced spark plugs and cleaned the carb plus new fuel. This is a rescue boat on a ship so it is little bit tricky every person does something stupid and than we must struggle. For example they were raising idle rpm not on the carburator but on the advance limiter on the left side of outboard… but now its all back to stock :)
Thanks A lot
Hi what fuel to oil ratio are you running . Ours is running rough as
what was your top speed with this setup?
what propeller number did you wear??
I race IRB’s and we use these motors. All of them require this starting procedure.
Know EXACTLY how to adjust the stock carb on these to make mine run a little leaner?
i like it
Just buy one 2008. I didnt try to start it myself, that trick is the first one in my captn pocket.
Do you have to do this everytime you wanna start it? Even after 1 hour boat ride and then shut it off for 1 minute and get it started again,I'm just curious
Hey mate, Nah - just when it was cold. After it had been warmed up it ran on one easy pull all day. I sold it a couple of years ago.
Nope, not usually.
Do it without the lanyard removal. Works for me
Yep - That works in most cases. In this case, it didn't work for this outboard. Hence the experimentation. If it did work, there wouldn't be a need for this video.
Exactly.The lanyard removal has nothing to do with it but the choke on the fist pull did it.
@@jmdds
Not necessarily. Choke adds more petrol and less air. No lanyard equals no spark. So therefore the LACK OF SPARK (without lanyard) does not waste the first few choked pulls with misfires. So, this guy's system IS A DIFFERENT METHODOLOGY to your suggestion, and his is therefore 100% what works for him. Although, by the sounds of it, Matt is mechanically ignorant about why it "just works" for him, you are no less an ignoramus because EVERY FUCKING MERCURY is idiosyncratic to start. If you were old enough or experienced enough to know, any small engine which is not either brand new or kept in 100% perfect serviced condition is a bastard to start -- if fuel is bad, if fuel pump is weak, if spark is weak or seg wring, if coil is (sometimes) weak (eg, when cold or damp) or 20 other minor factors. So, don't tell others how to start their out-of-tune motors.
I have the same outboard and I hear the exact same “metal” bang sound on first pull. Have any idea what this might be?
That’s just the starting mechanism (recoil). It’s normal all of those engines make that sound
@@bradleybremner3620 appreciate the reply, did not know that
Hi! Know EXACTLY how to make this engine run leaner? Thanks!
This boat i want
This motor is actually a Tohatsu 30 hp motor, the carb gasket in restrictive, change it.
Yep - it is indeed.
I did mine yesterday, and it made a big dif, yup.
Hey Eric did you just replace your gasket or did you change your timing too? I have a 2012
Dean Brown
Timing also
Also idles better with 30 hp gasket.
I got the same motor mate tried that but didn’t work for mine and she just had a service so it must be me lol
Hi! Know exactly how to make this engine run a little leaner??
is this japanese made or usa? i heard tohatsu makes all mercs till 30hp?
I'm not sure - I could easily be wrong. I think Mercury still produce smaller outboards in Japan (as well as some in the USA), however it's my understanding that the Sea Pro's are all made by Tohatsu (which are almost certainly made in Asia).
hi matt, so i recently received an email from Tohatsu dealer. They said, all Mercury year 2004 outboards; 2.5hp till 30hp are made by Tohatsu
Wow, thanks for that info - That's a big surprise to me. I had no idea!
Matt Kelly Fishing lol I know. sorry I meant to say outboards in production from 2004* till present
Is da 2 stroke or 4?
2t
I've got the shits with mine. Starting is fine but the last 12 months mine has become unreliable as. One day will run sweet, no stall, start every time run smooth. Next day it will struggle to run/ start and stall all the time. I've lost my shit so many times. Start it up the same every time and it's just so hit and miss. Ive change tanks/ fuel lines everything. Its a 2003. Had it at the mechanics heaps and they can't find anything.
if you would just pump the ball until you filled up the bowl in the carb it would start first or second pull with choke.
I have tried that, but it never worked. I'll give it another go. Either way, this way works for me.

Will you let me have this boat
Will you bring at my house
I give you a hundred dollars
