    1150 CARB SWAP.

    My 1974 1150 has not run in a few years and I can almost guarantee that the previous owner did not drain the carbs when he stored it, so I assume they will require overhaul. Heres my question... my 1970 1150 parts motor just had the carbs re done and I was planning on using them on the 74. Are...

    1970 1150 WATER ON SPARK PLUGS

    Just picked up a 1970 1150 as a parts motor for my 74. The motor is in mint condition cosmetically so I may fix it and make the 74 the parts motor.

    COMMON LOWER UNIT FOR 1150

    I have a mid 70s 1150 Merc that has damage on the lower unit due to freezing (ice).

    Bayliner

    This post is related to my earlier post about boats to avoid.<br />Most responses stated that the condition and care given to the boat by the previous owner was more relevant than the brand of boat it's self, which of course is good advise. <br />I have spoken to a number of people on the topic...
