imyahuckleberry Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 If you want to make the drive I've found the guy that is just north of Whitehouse (south of Tyler) on 110 is reasonable but he stays backed up. I agree. His name is Terry Williams and he's not only a great Merc mechanic but a great guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patriots1 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 ok any you guys think you know whats up..... i can go at idle speed but once i start trying to hit the throttle the engine will just rev high/smoke and and the boat will stay at the same speed. i believe its in the lower unit...its not the spin hub either because already checked that. the motor is fine just the prop/lower unit is not getting the UMPF! any help would be awesome, thanks fellas its a mercury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GloryBound Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 umm now that you mentioned yet yeah a little white and seems to be leakin out some! Should not be white at all. That means water is in the oil. You've probably lost a gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
