Yes, I cant control it with the touch pad, so I will see if i can check it out.Thanks

Thanks for the help Sparker.

[arbass23]

Thanks for the info.

[arbass23]

Thanks for the ideas guys. As far as why I want to take it out, there is more room for fishing and moving around, and I am not worried about my passenger it is my boat not my passengers boat!

[arbass23]

Could be bad gas, havent been able to fish much this year, but keep Seafoam in it. I have Half a tank, should I add more treatment and fill up, or figure a way to drain tank.

[arbass23]

Thanks for all the advise guys, I will go and try the tank again before I take further actions with it.

I guess from sitting along time, it was that way when I bought it. I have put a pipe wrench on it and it will turn back and forth but cant get it to come up and out at all.

[arbass23]

Pipe wrench, 1″ wood block and pry bar done the trick. Cleaned it up and buffed the rust off and added Vaseline to it.

Redngoo, thanks for info it was switch on bow was on and I didnt think to check that.

[arbass23]

Thanks guys, the switch on bow was on.

[arbass23]

It is a 2012 Mercury 250 Pro XS. I recently had lower unit serviced, may have put 3-5 hrs on since then.

[arbass23]

I cant tell which it is, but looks like it is coming from where the lower unit connects to rest of motor. I wouldnt think it would be gear oil that high up. What would cause outboard oil to leak from there.

[arbass23]

I took the cowling off and couldnt see any leaks in there. I am going drop it off at my dealer next week. Maybe it will be something simple. Thanks for yalls advice, I will let you know what they have to say.
