I have been told, with this particular model if the outboard is not secure on the motor mount. The gear will not engage.

Thumbs up Huey and many thanks guys. The previous owner told me that the outboard only had 2 hours of usage, that's the reason why I bought it. Why the motor was stalling might be the reason as Josh suggested that I was flooding the engine with too much fuel and not enough air, probably due to human error. Still have to figure out why when the gear is engage to forward but it is still in neutral. Going to take the outboard out and test it again this weekend before I bring it to someone to have a look at it.

Thanks Huey, I shall bring it down to my local marine dealer to have a look at it. Many Thanks Kelvin

Hey guy's, I just bought a Mariner 3.3hp(the one with the neutral and forward gear)It start's and idle's fine but as soon as I touch the throttle, it bog's out and die's then wont start again. And sometimes when I switch to forward gear, the motor just remain as neutral. Any advise would be great. Thanks Kelvin

Hi roosterman, Thanks for the great advise, I have only just picked up fishing, and I was at Malabar beach fishing off the rocks in the late afternoon till dusk. Using prawns as the bait, only 1 decent size catch which was a leather jacket, the rest of the were undersize bream, snapper and parrotfish. Just wondering when is the best time to go fishing.

Hi, I'm new on Fishraider and I live around Kingsford in Sydney, and wondering are there any good fishing spots around Eastern suburbs.
