    1983 merc 115 problems

    So I bought a 115 mercury top. It seams that I've been replacing lots of wires. I changed the stator with a brand new one for $270.00. The wires off the original were literally dust. It runs good but I noticed when replacing the stator. The fuel/oil line for the top crank bearing was broken off...

    Tower of power serial #

    OK I have a 150 or a 115 the serial number 7171946. I cant refrence it with anything. It has a 115 cowl with a 150 midsection. I believe it is a CanadIan made so that's why I can't find the number anywhere. Does anyone know where to find the serial number so I can order parts.

Or will there be much more damage that what I think. I've...

    9.8 merc drive shaft removal

    I got everything down to bare case to do the seals but the top bearing is rusted and rough rolling. How do I remove the shaft? I removed the pinion bolt and bolt retainer. Does the shaft and bearing come out as one unit?

    Johnson 9.9 driveshaft pitting @ seal location

    I'm working on this 9.9 johnson but the shaft is pitted right where the seals land, and when I install the new seals installing them either past or ahead of the old seals wouldn't work because the shaft is pitted in different spots, I know the best bet should be get a newer shaft,in better...

    1970 25 evinrude update

    Ok so this thing runs like a top now as per video: 1970 25 evinrude - YouTube Now here's where I'm at with the lower unit: The shift rod had carbon deposit and was eating into the seal. I pressure tested the lower unit, and soap tested the seals. Sure enough while moving the shift rod you...

    1977 15hp evinrude lower unit seals replacement.

    Anything I should be aware of? I replaced the impeller last year at the end of the season. I just gave it a tune up, and replaced the impeller and filled it with gear oil. It was already drained from the previous owner. I know I should have pressure tested the bottom end, but I do not own one. I...

    Points gap way to big? 25 evinrude

    Re: Points gap way to big? 25 evinrude Well first off I wasn't happy the way the clips that hold the point spring down. They felt loose so I used the original ones, they seated much better. I didn't want them coming out while ripping down the lake. I think they are defective. Here's the part #...

    Points gap way to big? 25 evinrude

    I took the initiative to change the points on a 1970 25 evinrude. The old points weren't that bad of shape but it was getting no spark to the top cylinder. I installed the new set but they won't adjust to the .020 that I need. the wear point is at the embossed (TOP) but the gap is a little under...
