Default Mercury Caps

Hey Guys:

I have some real small leaks coming from the yellow caps that cover the reservoirs for the tabs and tilt. Anybody know of some better caps or where I can get some gaskets? I've heard that all of these leak.

Thanks in advance.

Ron

Ron they use to sell some right here on the board before that were supposedly better, but I looked for them and can't find them now.
But yes they all leak to some degree from what I understand.

Ron,
I have also had the same problem, with the yellow caps leaking. I replaced the yellow caps with a the "Turbo Sonic Performance Cap" that Teague Custom Marine sells for about $14.00 each. Part#TSC ENJ-920 They come in a variety of colors. Have not leaked since.There number is (661)295-7000 Jeff

Ron, you can order them at Speedwake.com
And at the same time, you support the site.
Look in the store, under leak proof caps. $15.95 / includes frt.
I ordered some, came in 2 days.

Merc has a new cap, still yellow, that is much better than the old one. It should be on newer drives and Kplanes. I think that the old part number supercedes to the new one. I'll find out what the new part number is and get back.
