Thanks for the video; fixed our problem. We had to replace a loose spark plug and when we started the engine, seemed to backfire. Tried again and it started fine, but now it had a high idle. We then found your video. My husband just located the loose tubing, hooked it up, and now the engine starts and idles nicely. He came in the house yelling "that's why I can't win bass tournaments....someone is f***ing with my engine." We had a good laugh and a working engine.
Just had my first encounter with this problem today. Was on the water this morning and when I went to crank the motor, it kind of made a weird noise and didn’t crank. Turned the key again and had extremely high idle. Got home and found the black hose going to the iac module had been forced out the bottom of the 90 degree rubber fitting that you put back on in this video. Not sure how it came loose but I’ll know to check it from now on when I take off the cowling for anything. Thanks for the video. My motor is a 2019 60hp
That's interesting. I was out on my Tracker and it started idling rough and wouldn't idle. I looked and the same line was disconnected. I'm wondering if there is some kind of pressure that built up instead of vacuum??? Sounds weird but there it is. That happened a couple years ago. I'm having mystery problems with my boat now but I saw this and had to comment.
I put a few zip ties on that vacuum hose on the air box side and the other side as well. Doubt that it'll come off again now. They should at least do that from the factory.
@@OutboardMadness Kind of crazy that something under a vacuum would come loose! I'm still scratching my head about that... If you have anymore issues w/that boat could you let me know here? I'm still having issues w/my boat and I'm thinking the IAC solenoid may be messed up. I've been going round and round with it for a while... I'm thinking it's been messed up since the hose came loose.
Customer has same motor on a pontoon and says under load at idle "no wake speed" it has a miss. No codes plugs were gapped but i still replaced. Filters look good no vac lines unhooked i haven't drained VST but🤷 am i missing something
This is probably a dumb question but I was had less than a quarter tank of gas and was going about 20mph and it started to beep. Slowed down and it stopped. Probably not a low fuel beep? It’s a 2015 mercury 60hp 4 stroke. Thanks
@@OutboardMadness Thank you, I will have it looked at for sure. I did check the oil and it was full. I was hauling loads of camping gear back and fourth and kinda heavy in the boat. Not while I was going fast though. I was going fairly slow but it might have put some extra pressure on the motor. I would drop a load at the camp site then haul A back to get another load. That’s when it beeped. Thank you again.

Yes they do. That happened to me on the lake this year

Over heat, low oil pressure, etc. Could be many different things. I'd hook it up and check the fault codes to see for sure.

It "just" happened to me too. I zip tied it to be sure.
When motor backfire it disconnect
