All sorted and working great thanks to all for all the advice

Things all fixed was the cdi box running like a dream now !!! Thanks everyone for your advice

Yep that's what I've done mate was never going to try to fix myself just wanted some advise so I'd have an idea of causes of this and what it might be in a previous post I've said that the mercury service centre have they are 99.99% sure it's the cdi box and am having it replaced at a full cost of $580 Thanks for your comment !! I totally agree with you

just put some up mate

I'm on the Sunshine Coast Huey where are you ?

Yeh was thinking it was expensive to Huey, but I don't know how to install myself so have to pay the price [emoji20] The trigger had already been replaced ! Just hoping this is the end as I have the money to keep this up !! Thanks again to for your advise and help

No it it reved low equal with the output !! Had the call back today from Mercury as usual it wouldn't play up for them it took awhile but finally it did and they said they are certain it's the cdi box ( switch box) and sadly a whopping $580 as a total to fix

Thanks guys some great info !! Will let you know how I go

I never ran it in a tub, only ran out home with rinse kit and it had no dramas, but I understand that it's under no stress with the flush kit

Sorry brain fart impeller lets the water flow out of the spout right ? and the prop bush allows the prop to spin on either gear ? No had an old outboard that the bush broke while out fishing was a long row home lol the guy servicing thought it was the trigger or the cdi box, tested the trigger it wasn't responding correctly so it was replaced and made no difference ! I think he's a bit baffled ! I've now taken it to a local Mercury repairer but even they thought it sounded confusing but they'll be looking at it on Wednesday

Hi am looking for some help wiring my lights into the switch panel I want to put anchor light and navigation lights on separate switches but just keep getting wrong does anyone have a good diagram ? I'm running it from a car battery

Hi Geoff the water coming out of the spout is luke warm

Hi Iceman yeh I had the breather quite loose, Hi austral is Impala another name for prop bush ? If so then it's been replaced

Thanks Huey while its idling if you pull the chock it almost snuffs out

Thanks Geoff it does pump a good stream of water but I've never felt it to see if it's hot or cold so will have to check that !! From my research I don't think my model has guardian mode, but the issue can happen within minutes of the motor starting so it'd still be cold but your right if the thermo isn't working that just could be it, but when started during flushing it can happily run as full throttle but can't under load in the water

Hi guys am seeking help with my 1997 Mercury 2stroke 9.9hp outboard it runs great in idle and reverse but as soon as you click into forward as you increase speed it'll kick in but then start to decrease speed after about 10 seconds but sometimes will run fine for 10 minutes or so but then it reduces its self to about a walking pace !! The motor has been serviced including carbs clean and has had the trigger replaced and new Impala ! I've tried a different fuel tank and line which it ran great and thought id found the issue until it went back to shit !! Am really stuck

Thanks Witha a lot of great info and tips for me to try
