- I had no clue about EFI outboard boat engines, and I want to share in a few minutes what took hours for me to find out on the interwebs. Turn the volume up, apparently I am soft spoken...

David. You did it. You showed me exactly what I needed to know (that main fuse) and I was able to get my EFI Merc back up and running. Thank you so much. I couldn't figure it out and you had the answers. Thank you. Another CZcams success story. Knowledge is Power.
That's why I did it George, not trying to make money or anything. Just giving back to the community....
I'm curious, did the engine crank but didn't start? I seem to have fuel but it just cranks and cranks. I just put it away for the night or I'd try it right now.
Thank you brother just what I needed
Thanks man I blow my fuse lol I couldn't find my fuse box replaced the fuse it worked thanks man now I can go for boat ride man 😎👌
David, I have the exact same motor and was wondering if you had any issues with the throttle cable having slack in it. Meaning after putting the motor in gear and pushing forward on the throttle, it takes quite a bit of forward throttle movement before the motor actually spins up and engages to increase the RPM. I'm having this issue right now; trying to figure out how to get the slack out of the throttle cable.
I never needed to explore that issue and don't have the boat anymore.
I know that on cars and motorcycles there is always a threaded adjuster, usually near the intake throttle body.
@@davide.anderson8507 Thank you! I'll look into it.
I just bought that exact boat and motor last week your video is quite helpful. Did you get it running and do you like it. Mine was running smooth then cut out. Not getting fuel, but I think it may be the fuel line.
Yep, I got it running fine. Had to clean ALOT of bad fuel out of the lines and disassemble the fuel injectors and soak them in carb cleaner after removing all O rings, as carb cleaner will ruin rubber.
After a summer's use, the water impeller failed, so that was the next fix, Apparently impellers only last a few years before they rot..
@@davide.anderson8507 thank you... Mine ended up being the fuel tank and line pretty easy fix. How fast will yours run, mine goes 27-30mph with me ( 250) and my son ( 165) but takes almost a full 60 seconds if not more to get there... Wind and chop slows it down considerably. Does yours excelerate quickly, or is it slow to get up speed like mine.... I have no frame of reference to determine if I have a problem or not.
@@greggt.3784 I'd say that sounds about normal, although we rarely do high speeds in our lake due to all the flooded timber. It's a pretty small engine that's being asked to do alotta work.
I have a pull start outboard motor and I wont to fit a electric start motor ( serial number 0N045091) MERCURY MARINE (2055 ME30 EMLH ) ( 30HP ) CAN YOU HELP ME FIND ONE PLEAS JOSEPH
Did you get it running. I heard stories of people frying the ECU by hooking the batterie charger up the wrong way. Most cases the rectifier goes bad.
I used to work on motorcycles and have hooked up batteries the wrong way many times, never fried an ECU.
This Mercury ECU is fine, regardless of the guy drunkenly hooking up the battery backwards...
Would you mind sharing how you went about cleaning out the old fuel? Mine won’t start and seems to be a fuel problem.
Hey Nate. I had to remove the aluminum colored unit that houses the high pressure fuel pump. Drain out all bad fuel from that, and the fuel filter, all the fuel lines, and the fuel injectors. The injectors were clogged up with gummy old fuel and had to be carefully disassembled and soaked in carb cleaner for hours.
The high pressure fuel pump was so clogged with old fuel gum that I couldn't salvage it and had to buy an aftermarket one. I posted another video about that.
If you're not an experienced mechanic with all the miscellaneous tools, it would probably be easier for you to take it to the professionals and pay the bill. It took me DAYS of trial and error to get this thing running. Bonne chance.
Dave
@@davide.anderson8507 thanks for the reply and the info. We pulled the housing for the fuel pump and the float was stuck in the closed position due to sitting for so long and the gas must have dried on it. Pretty easy fix.
I want to install a 30hp Mercury on my zodiac
And it’s rated for up to a 30hp
I can not find online and transom dim requirements
My transom is 14”x11”wide
I have this motor ..what do I need to put push start on it?
I don't know, this boat had a key ignition on the dash, just like a car...
Were can i find ecu for my 25hp mercury 2010? Someone stole it
eBay? Mercury? I'm not a boat expert at all. Good luck.
Thanks man
Boat= "Bust Out Another Thousand"
Only if you do it wrong
Hate em' last one im running on boat
What year is that mercury outboard
2009
I have a Nissan which seems to be the same as the mercury and tohatsu. Tohatsu maid all the motor around that year. I bought the 2014 boat motor and trailer with 25 hours and sat for four years it cranks but seem to not be getting fuel.
I’m will to bet it has the same issue. Thanks for the video. There is not much out there. I work on cares and motor cycles, this is a whole new world for me.
Where did you purchase the high pressure fuel pump?
