Merc. 1988 200hp S/N OB250710

The stater spins but not enough to engage the pinion to the flywheel and turn the motor. I have checked the 3 old months battery and even had it tested at Advance Auto Parts (shows good 12.8 vdc and with 824 CCA), the cable connections and the battery switch, also OK. Using jumper cables...

Willy said it so well that I'm taking the liberty to repeat his words. "And all Americans, my deepest condolences to those who perished and were injured in this cowardly act. A prayer for all, God help them"

George, Got the stator in today's mail. Thanks for your time, effort and the expense of shipping it. You're the man! :beer:

That makes a lot of sense.

:nice: And very good eating. Just checking our regulations for the Spanish Mackerel in So. Florida and they say that " Transfer of Spanish Mackerel to other vessels at sea is prohibited" Wonder why?

Had some days off and decided to paint the cowlings and put on some new decals (aftermarket $69) on the old outboard. Painting with spray cans was not easy and never really mastered getting rid of the orange peel left behind. One last clear coat and ready for summer. Before During After

Phatdaddy, Will let you know when I get it. Thanks! :clap:

My '88 Merc. 200hp s/n OB250710 has a voltage regulator (88825A 7) as well as a rectifier. Two wire, red and yellow go from the regulator to the rectifier. Rectifier tested OK, but I don't know how to test the regulator. Thanks!

phatdaddy, no rush here - whenever you have the time and thanks again :beer:

I was finally able to get out and do some fishing. Got a small black fin tuna and it made a delicious dinner that night. :sun:

Had a chance to take the boat out yesterday and the motor performed perfectly. I had some spare power packs that I had gotten from bigshrimping back in 2007 and I replaced both of them, even though only one was testing bad. Problem solved! Thanks Guys :beer:

Thanks guys, but I got lucky and picked up a new one on ebay for 50% off for $52.15. :beer: http://www.ebay.com/itm/200896716738?item=200896716738&viewitem=&vxp=mtr

I'm looking for a replacement exhaust plate for my '88 merc 200hp. It's stamped "95066". Mine is cracked and my welding efforts have not stopped the leaking.

Dear Lord, we pray for Aiden and his family just as your Word tells us to pray, for healing. I believe you hear this earnest prayer from our heart and that it is powerful because of your promise. I have faith in you, Lord, to heal Aiden, but I also trust in the plan you have for his life. Lord...

Spare, did not check the green wire. Didnt see it in the troubleshooting or just missed it. Will do tomorrow and report back.

Ok guys, with the bias wire between the switch boxes disconnected (BTW this is a 16 amp flywheel) and plugs out, these are the new max readings to ground with the DVA: blue=217v blue/white=222v red=53v red/white=53v Trigger check wire read to / resistance / dva...
