GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING
Operating some boats with outboard trimmed to the
full in trim angle [not using trim adjustment bolt
(a)] at planing speed will cause undesirable and/or
unsafe steering conditions. Each boat MUST BE
water tested for handling characteristics after
outboard installation and after any trim adjustments.
IMPORTANT: Some boat/motor combinations,
that do not use the trim adjustment bolt (a) and are
trimmed to the full in trim angle, will not experience any undesirable and/or unsafe steering
conditions during planing speed. Thus, not using
trim adjustment bolt may be desired. However,
some boats with outboard trimmed to the full in
trim angle at planing speeds will cause undesirable and/or unsafe steering conditions. If these
steering conditions are experienced, under no
circumstances should the outboard be operated
without the trim adjustment bolt and without the
bolt adjusted in the proper holes to prevent unsafe handling characteristics.
Water test the boat not using the trim adjustment bolt.
If undesirable and/or unsafe steering conditions are
experienced (boat runs with nose down), install trim
adjustment bolt in proper hole to prevent unsafe handling characteristics.

WARNING
Operating some boats at minimum trim In at
planing speeds will cause undesirable and/or
unsafe steering conditions. Each boat should be
tested for handling characteristics after any
adjustment is made to the tilt angle.
DO NOT OPERATE motor with tilt lock pin removed.
Adjust tilt angle of motor on transom with tilt lock pin
so that anti-ventilation plate is about parallel and even
with bottom of boat. Speed sometimes may be improved by tilting motor out one tilt pin hole to raise bow
and reduce wetted surface. If motor is tilted in, boat
will ride bow down, wetting more of the bottom and reducing speed, which generally will improve operation
in rough water. Under ideal conditions, efficiency is
best with lower unit operating in level position. Operation with excessive tilt angle will reduce performance
noticeably and may induce ventilation. It is preferable
to level boat by proper loading rather than by extreme
adjustment of tilt angle.

CAUTION
A discharged battery can be damaged by freezing.
It is a known fact that weather conditions exert a profound effect on power output of internal combustion
engines. Therefore, established horsepower ratings
refer to the power that the engine will produce at its
rated RPM under a specific combination of weather
conditions.
1-10
Due to the horsepower/RPM characteristics of an engine, this will result in further loss of horsepower at the
propeller with another decrease in boat speed. This
secondary loss, however, can be regained by switching to a smaller pitch propeller that allows the engine
to again run at recommended RPM.
90-13645--2 495
90-13645--2 495
1-11
Compression Check
Detonation generally is thought of as spontaneous ignition, but it is best described as a noisy explosion in
an unburned portion of the fuel/air charge after the
spark plug has fired. Detonation creates severe, untimely, shock waves in the engine, and these shock
waves often find or create a weakness: The dome of
a piston, piston rings or piston ring lands, piston pin
and roller bearings.
6. Compression check is important because an engine with low or uneven compression cannot be
tuned successfully to give peak performance. It is
essential, therefore, that improper compression
be corrected before proceeding with an engine
tune-up.

STATOR TEST
WARNING
When testing or servicing the ignition system,
high voltage is present, be extremely cautious!
DO NOT TOUCH OR DISCONNECT any ignition
parts while engine is running, while key switch is
on, or while battery cables are connected.
CAUTION
Failure to comply with the following items may
result in damage to the ignition system.
1. DO NOT reverse battery cable connections.
The battery negative cable is (-) ground.
2. DO NOT spark battery terminals with battery
cable connections to check polarity.
3. DO NOT disconnect battery cables while engine is running.
4. DO NOT crank engine when switch box is not
grounded to engine.
A process of elimination must be used when checking
the ignition system without a Multi-Meter/DVA Tester
(91-99750) or a voltmeter (capable of measuring 400
volts DC, or higher) and Direct Voltage Adaptor
(91-89045), as the switch box and ignition coils
cannot be thoroughly checked with conventional test
equipment.
All other components can be tested with an
ohmmeter. Before troubleshooting the ignition
system, check the following:
1. Make sure that electrical harness and ignition
switch are not the source of the problem.
2. Check that plug-in connectors are fully engaged
and terminals are free of corrosion.

a - Hydrometer
Electrolyte Level
Check electrolyte level in battery regularly. A battery
in use in hot weather should be checked more frequently because of more rapid loss of water. If electrolyte level is found to be low, then distilled water should
be added to each cell until liquid level rises approximately 3/16 (4.8mm) over plate. DO NOT OVERFILL, because this will cause loss of electrolyte and
result in poor performance, short life and excessive
corrosion.
3. If hydrometer has built-in thermometer, draw liquid in several times to ensure correct temperature
before taking reading.
4. Hold hydrometer vertically and draw in just
enough liquid from battery cell so that float is freefloating. Hold hydrometer at eye level so that float
is vertical and free of outer tube, then take reading
at surface of liquid. Disregard curvature where liquid rises against float stem due to capillary action.

Optional Voltage
Regulator Test
Description
2. If battery voltage is above 14.5 volts, replace voltage regulator. Check condition of battery as overcharging may have damaged battery.
3. If battery voltage is below 14.5 volts, charge battery; refer to Charging a Discharged Battery,
preceding. If battery can NOT be satisfactorily
charged, replace battery.
The battery charging system components are the stator, rectifier, and battery. Alternating current (generated in stator alternator coils) flows to the rectifier,
which changes the alternating current to direct current for charging the battery.

WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE is present at the tachometer
blocks stator side terminals, while the outboard
is running. To avoid electrical shock, physical
contact should not be made on these terminals or
ANY IGNITION RELATED COMPONENT WHILE
THE OUTBOARD IS RUNNING.
IMPORTANT: The following ohm test is used to determine the proper functioning of the diode located in the tachometer block. If the diode is
OPEN (NO CONTINUITY IN EITHER DIRECTION),
the tachometer will be inoperative.
TESTING TACHOMETER TERMINAL BLOCK
(DESIGN 1)
With outboard NOT running, remove all leads from
block. Using an ohmmeter, test block as shown, following. Continuity should be observed on the ohmmeter with the needle swinging in only ONE direction.
NO CONTINUITY should be observed when test
leads are reversed. If CONTINUITY is observed in
BOTH directions or NO CONTINUITY is observed in
either direction when leads are reversed, diode is defective and MUST BE REPLACED.
NOTE: There is only one diode located in the tachometer block. It may be located either between the center (TACH) terminal and the top (ALT) terminal or between the center (TACH) terminal and the lower (ALT)
terminal.

3. Replace the drive clutch spring and/or collar if tension is not adequate or if wear is excessive.
4. Inspect brush holder for damage or for failure to
hold brushes against commutator.
5. Replace brushes that are pitted or worn to less
than 1/4 (6.4mm) in length.
6. Inspect the armature conductor (commutator bar
junction) for a tight connection. A loose connection (excessive heat from prolonged cranking
melts solder joints) results in a burned commutator bar.
7. Resurface and undercut a rough commutator as
follows:

Normally, for every 1000 feet (304.8m) of altitude increase, main jet size is reduced by 2%. However, this
does not always hold true for all situations; different
boat, motor, load and ambient air temperature conditions may require different jets I.E. going a jet size
richer than recommended for a particular altitude may
improve acceleration. It may also be noted that no noticeable improvement in engine performance was
achieved by changing the standard main jet at altitudes up to 5000 feet (1524m). Above 5000 feet,
however, changing jets did improve performance.
Several additional changes to improve engine
performance at higher altitudes are as follows:
1. Idle timing should be advanced 2-3 degrees at
5000 feet (1524m) and above.
2. Prop engine at the top of the recommended RPM
scale +/150 RPM.
3. Reset idle mixture screws for best idle. With standard idle mixture setting (sea level) considered to
be at the 12 oclock position, adjust the mixture
screw leaner for all models as follows:

Enrichener System
Enrichener valve receives fuel from a T-fitting between #1 and #2 carburetors. Valve is electrically
opened when ignition key is turned to the ON position and pushed in (and held in). Fuel is dispensed to
T-fittings on intake manifold of cylinders #2 and #4. Internal passages route fuel from cylinders #2 and #4
to cylinders #1 and #3. Valve returns to the closed
position when key (or choke button) is released. Valve
can be operated manually by PRESSING and HOLDING button located on top of valve.
Fuel flows from top carburetor float bowl to fuel enrichment valve. Valve is electrically opened when key
is turned to the ON position and pushed in (and held
in). Fuel is supplied to engine through fittings located
in the top, middle, and bottom carburetors. Valve returns to the closed position when key (or choke button) is released. Valve can be operated manually by
PRESSING and HOLDING button located at bottom
of valve.

FLOW RESTRICTOR - Helps equalize pressure within the accelerator pump circuit while allowing air or
any vapor which has formed to pass through and be
vented at the carburetors.
FUEL CONNECTOR - Spring loaded shut off valve
which connects boat fuel tank with outboard fuel system.
IMPORTANT: The distance between the accelerator pump and the throttle cam determines the
amount of fuel the accelerator pump will discharge. If accelerator pump is moved or replaced,
refer to SECTION 2C for correct positioning of accelerator pump.

NOTE: There is a safety reserve of oil left in the reservoir after the low oil warning is sounded. There is
enough oil for approximately 50 minutes of full throttle
operation on four cylinder engines and approximately
1 hour of full throttle operation on three cylinder engines.
2. If there is more than 1 quart of oil in the reservoir,
then the problem may be in the oil injection pump.
DO NOT run engine on straight gas when a problem may be in the oil injection pump. Engine can
be run by connecting a remote fuel tank of 50:1
gas and oil mixture to engine.
1. Open the engine cowling and check oil level in engine reservoir. If oil level is approximately one
quart or less, the problem is low oil level. Add oil
to reservoir.

HONING PROCEDURE
Follow hone manufacturers recommendations for
use of hone cleaning and lubrication during honing.
IMPORTANT: After honing, bores should be thoroughly cleaned with hot water and detergent.
Scrub well with stiff bristle brush and rinse with
hot water. If any abrasive material is allowed to remain in the cylinder bore, it will cause a rapid wear
of new piston rings and cylinder bore. After cleaning, bores should be swabbed several times with
2 cycle engine oil and a clean cloth. Wipe excess
oil with clean, dry cloth. Cylinders should not be
cleaned with kerosene or gasoline. Clean remainder of cylinder block.
S Hone all cylinder walls just enough to de-glaze.

NOTE: The weight of an oversize piston is approximately the same as a standard size piston; therefore,
it is not necessary to rebore all cylinders in a block just
because one cylinder requires reboring.
IMPORTANT: Ports must be deburred after honing.
S After honing and thoroughly cleaning cylinder
bores, apply 2 cycle outboard oil to cylinder walls
to prevent rusting.

Check Valves
DESIGN I (MODELS WITH CHECK VALVE ONLY)
Located in crankcase cover under center main
bearings.
These can be damaged by hot combustion blow-by
into crankcase.
To Check: Look through hole - if you see light, the nylon ball is bad - probably melted; REPLACE valve. If
you see no light, insert fine wire into check valve hole
to see if there is slight movement of the nylon ball; if
ball moves, valve is o.k. otherwise, replace check
valve.
This kit is for use in three cylinder 71 cubic inch 70, 75,
80 and 90 horsepower models and four cylinder 105
cubic inch 100 and 115 horsepower models.

2. Inspect gear lubricant for metal particles (lubricant will have a metal flake appearance). Presence of fine metal particles (resembling powder)
on the drain plug bar magnet indicates normal
wear. The presence of metal chips on the drain
plug bar magnet indicates the need for gear housing disassembly and component inspection.
3. Note color of gear lubricant. White or cream color
MAY indicate presence of water in lubricant. Gear
lubricant which has been drained from a gear
case recently in operation will have a yellowish
color due to lubricant agitation/aeration. Gear
lube which is mixed with assembly lubricant (Special Lube 101 or 2-4-C w/Teflon will also be
creamy white in color. This is normal and should
not be confused with the presence of water. If water is supected to be present in gearcase, a pressure check of gearcase should be made (with no
lubricant in gearcase). Gearcase should hold 10
to 12 psi of pressure for 5 minutes without leaking
down. Pouring a portion of the gear lubricant into
a glass jar and allowing the lubricant to settle will
allow any water in the lube to separate and settle
to the bottom of the jar.
4. Presence of water in gear lubricant indicates the
need for disassembly and inspection of oil seals,
seal surfaces, O-rings, water pump gaskets as
well as gear housing components for damage. If
gearcase is rebuilt, gearcase should be pressure
checked before filling with lubricant.

CAUTION
Do not use lubricant on top of drive shaft. Excess
lubricant, that is trapped in clearance space, will
not allow drive shaft to fully engage with
crankshaft. Subsequently, tightening the gear
housing fasteners (while lubricant is on top of
drive shaft) will load the drive shaft/crankshaft
and damage either or both the power head and
gear housing. Top of drive shaft is to be wiped free
of lubricant.

The Up circuit actuates the up solenoid (under outboard cowl) and closes the motor circuit. The electric
motor drives the pump, forcing fluid thru passageways into the up side of the trim cylinders.
Trimming Characteristics
NOTE: Because hull designs react differently in
varying water conditions, varying the trim position will
often improve the ride and boat handling. When
trimming from a mid-trim position (with outboard trim
tab in a straight fore and aft position), expect the
following:
TRIMMING OUTBOARD UP (OUT):
WARNING
Excessive trim Out may reduce the stability of
some high speed hulls. To correct instability,
reduce the power gradually and trim the outboard
In slightly before resuming high speed
operation. A rapid reduction in power will result in
a sudden change of steering torque and may
cause additional boat instability.
Will lift boat bow, increasing top speed.
cause
porpoising
WARNING
Excessive speed at minimum trim In may result
in undesirable and/or unsafe steering conditions.
Test for handling characteristics after any
adjustment is made to the trim angle (and tilt pin
location).
Aids planing, particularly with heavy loads.
Improves ride in choppy water conditions.
Excess trim In can cause bow steer (boat veers to
left or right).
Transfers steering torque to starboard (right).
Improves acceleration to planing speed.
Transfers steering torque harder to port (left) on installations above 23 in. transom height.
Excess trim
ventilation.
and/or
The Down circuit actuates the down solenoid (under engine cowl) and closes the motor circuit. The
electric motor drives the pump in the opposite direction as the up circuit, forcing fluid thru passageways
into the down side of the tilt ram. The tilt ram moves
the engine down to the desired position.
Trailering Outboard
WARNING
Excessive outboard trim angle will result in
insufficient water supply causing water pump
and/or powerhead overheating damage. Insure
water level is above water intake holes whenever
outboard is running.

Anode Plate
Anode plate is a self-sacrificing alloy plate that is consumed gradually by corrosion while providing protection to the midsection and power trim from galvanic
corrosion. Replace anode plate when it is 50% consumed.
If necessary, add Quicksilver Power Trim and Steering Fluid or Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) Type
F, FA or Dexron II to power trim system.
Reinstall fill screw; tighten screw securely.

Troubleshooting
Determining if Problem is Electrical or
Hydraulic
When a problem is encountered with the Power Trim
system, the first step is to determine whether the malfunction is in the electrical system or the hydraulic
system. Refer to the following chart to determine
which system is at fault.

Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT: Operate Power Trim system after
each check to see if problem has been corrected.
If problem has not been corrected, proceed to
next check.
1. Check that manual release valve knob is tightened to full right (clockwise) position.
2. Check trim pump fluid level and fill if necessary.
Refer to Filling and Bleeding the Power Trim System, preceding.
3. Check for external leaks in Power Trim system.
Replace defective part(s) if leak is found.
4. Check for air in Power Trim system and bleed if
necessary. Refer to Filling and Bleeding the Power Trim System, preceding.
CAUTION
Do not remove check valve from port trim rod.
Check valve is preset to operate at a specific
pressure. Removal and reinstallation of check
valve could result in improper operating pressure
and possible Power Trim system damage.
5. If engine will not hold a tilted (trailer) position
(leaks down to trim position) Remove port trim
rod assembly from Power Trim housing; refer to
Trim Rod Removal, following.
Inspect check valve (located in port trim rod) for
debris; clean debris from check valve if found. If
debris can not be cleaned from check valve, replace trim rod and check valve as an assembly.
Inspect trim rod O-ring and replace if damaged.
Reinstall trim rod in housing; refer to Trim Rod
Installation, following.

The Up circuit actuates the up solenoid (under outboard cowl) and closes the motor circuit. The electric
motor drives the pump, forcing fluid thru passageways into the up side of the trim cylinders.
Trimming Characteristics
NOTE: Because hull designs react differently in
varying water conditions, varying the trim position will
often improve the ride and boat handling. When
trimming from a mid-trim position (with outboard trim
tab in a straight fore and aft position), expect the
following:
TRIMMING OUTBOARD UP (OUT):
WARNING
Excessive Trim Out may reduce the stability of
some high speed hulls. To correct instability,
reduce the power gradually and trim the outboard
In slightly before resuming high speed
operation. A rapid reduction in power will result in
a sudden change of steering torque and may
cause additional boat instability.
Will lift boat bow, increasing top speed.
Transfers steering torque harder to port (left) on installations above 23 in. transom height.
Increases gearcase clearance over submerged
objects.
Excess trim
ventilation.
can
cause
porpoising
and/or
WARNING
Excessive speed at minimum trim In may result
in undesirable and/or unsafe steering conditions.
Test for handling characteristics after any
adjustment is made to the trim angle (and tilt pin
location).
Aids planing, particularly with heavy loads.
Improves ride in choppy water conditions.
Excess trim In can cause bow steer (boat veers to
left or right).
Transfers steering torque to starboard (right).
Improves acceleration to planing speed.
The Down circuit actuates the down solenoid (under engine cowl) and closes the motor circuit. The
electric motor drives the pump in the opposite direction as the up circuit, forcing fluid thru passageways
into the down side of the tilt ram. The tilt ram moves
the engine down to the desired position.
Trailering Outboard
WARNING
Excessive outboard trim angle will result in
insufficient water supply causing water pump
and/or powerhead overheating damage. Insure
water level is above water intake holes whenever
outboard is running.

Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT: Run Trim System in short jogs until pump is primed and trim system moves. If trim
motor is run without priming pump, driveshaft
failure could result.
1. Check that Manual Release Valve knob is tightened to full right (clockwise) position.
TO CHECK:
CAUTION
Tilt outboard to full Up position and engage tilt
lock lever before checking fluid level. System is
pressurized. Extend trim and tilt rams fully to

Trimming Characteristics
WARNING
Excessive trim out may reduce the stability of
some high speed hulls. To correct instability at
high speed, reduce the power gradually and trim
the motor In slightly before resuming high
speed operation. (Rapid reduction in power will
cause a sudden change of steering torque and
may cause additional momentary boat instability.)
Will lift bow of boat, usually increasing top speed.
Transfers steering torque harder to port (left) on installations below 23 in. transom height.

Reassembly
1. Install the spool into sleeve from the chamfered
end (end opposite the cross hole).
2. Insert spool into sleeve until end is flush with the
chamfered end of the sleeve. Inserting the spool
too far into the sleeve may allow the spool o-ring
to contact the sharp edges of the sleeve cross
hole and damage the o-ring.

Some units, when trimmed to the maximum 20 degree limit, will leak down approximately 5 degrees
and then hold. The leak will ONLY occur while the
boat is under power. The cause for the 5 degree leak
down is the lack of a fluid passage between the shock
piston and the memory piston.
1. Disassemble the tilt ram assembly and remove
the memory piston.
2. Cut a small groove 0.020 0.040 in. (0.5
1.0mm) deep across the top face of the memory
piston. The groove will allow oil passage when the
shock piston and memory piston are in contact.
The groove can be made with a hacksaw or triangular file.
NOTE: Power trim assemblies with Date Code
14183 and ABOVE have a groove in the shock
piston to allow fluid passage. The memory piston
remains the same and does not have a groove
across the face.
