Good stuff thanks! Definitely go with a true spark plug wire removal tool or you’ll mess up the boots. So much to cover here. Inspecting reeds, fuel and air pressures etc. did you ever get the actual hours using vessel view?

Nice video. Swivels and swivel sockets are a must when working on outboards. And tools are only as good as the person using them

Hello, very nice video there :) I have a problem with my mercury 150 optimax. I have smartcraft and gauges connected to it. The smartcraft works fine, but the gauges only works once in a while. The voltage on the gauges drops to 1 and 2 volts. Have you ever had this problem and knows a fix? :)

Ok, always start with the basics, how old is your battery, cables? We can do some tests if you have a multimeter. May be better to talk on the phone
