Just did this on our 2001 125 Merc Salt Water. Figured it was a non-issue since it beeps with motor cold. Turned out to be the oil level alarm instead of the temp sensor. Good video brother
Awesome video. I've got a 90 mercury on a boat I bought last year and have been restoring it. The guy I bought it from had bypassed the oiler because he didn't trust it (I don't either). So there was very little oil in it. I suspected that could be why the alarm was going off. But what I didn't know was the other causes to make it go off. I did what you said and it is the oil sensor. Hopefully I can just fill it up and it'll be good. Thanks a lot.
Ran my 2000 125 Merc 2 quarts low on oil. Going into the shop Saturday. Never has started cold very well but I'm told that's normal. Mostly "driveability issues" like leaning left with Trim Tab maxed out.
Mine was rough for a while after ran out if oil and engines stopped like 3 times before me realizing the problem. It’s improving slowly overtime now I barely notice anything. However I feel my top speed is not as high.
I have the same engine on my trophy, i have an issue is my gave full throttle, it only go below 4000rpm and max 23mph on flat water, also do you know the sparks plug gap measurement? Thanks😊
Did you check the throttle cable? Have some shift it while looking at the pullers on the engine with the top open, then you can see if it’s pulling the pulled arms in the engines all the way.
