    Mercury made for Boston Whaler

    S/N (OT745996)for engine shows that the motor was made for Boston Whaler. What would the difference be from a standard Mercury motor?

    Weight of 115 hp Merc . (1988)?

    Have a 1972 Mako C/C and would like to repower it. A 115 hp 4 stroke merc. weighs in around 390 lbs. The transom sits low now with the old motor. Think I might have to stick with a 90 hp 2 stroke. Any suggestions? Will the 90 give me the same performance as the old 115?<br />Thanks

    1996 Mercury 40 hp -Trim and Tilt

    S/N OC159300. From what years will a single ram trim and tilt assembly fit on this motor? I now have a "Manual Tilt Assembly" that does not work and is hard to find parts to repair. Would like to convert to electric trim and tilt. Looking for a used unit.<br />Thanks

    1989 Merc. 115 -Makes noise in reverse

    When in reverse and giving it some throttle it sounds like the lower unit is jumping out of gear. It works fine if I am in idle speed in reverse. In forward all is OK.

    1996 Merc. 40 hp

    I have a 40 hp 2 cycle 4 clinder outboard with the manual "assisted" power lift. The assist on this does not work and I am having a hard time finding parts. When I cross over the S/N it shows up as 2 cylinder motor not a 4 cylinder. Any help as to repairs or obtaining the correct parts manual...
