As I was tweaking the used boat I purchased last summer, I had a nice set of Farina gauges on the dash but in the center was a 3" unused circle. Thought about what to put there......Since I was not familiar with the engine and the existing water pump was doing a fine job from idle on up, I...
Would someone please share with me the user name and password for Mercury's online ez-parts lookup. Twice now I have gotten into the list somehow, did my business, bookmarked the page and the next time I pulled up the bookmark I got the Home page requiring a log in.
Thanks,

I have a new to me, 2002, 115 HP, 2 stroke Merc. 4 cyl 2+2 engine. Playing around with it I've been learning how it works and what I could do to make it better. I decided to put in new fuel pump and accelerator kits, noting that the old diaphragms were much stiffer than in the new OEM kits so...
I have an early, like late 1980's Laser, for 115 hp engine, not the current Laser II, with square PVS ports. I want to close them and want to use rubber plugs. Is the 4 pack of square plugs, PN 19220A4 the correct square plug?
Thanks
Without regard to anything but the posted subjects, HP is reduced: by 3.5%/1000' of altitude and by 1% per 10*F of ambient temperature above 60F. Picked this up on the www on a petroleum site discussion.
What is needed to complete this is the relative humidity since (in my opinion) that has...
Things are quiet so let's post something. I've noticed over the years that OMC engines get half again more postings as Mercury. Question I have been asking myself was, is that because of more problems, or more units in the field? Now I ask your opinion.
Online Merc parts, couple of questions:
1. What are the public access codes, name and pw?
2. Once you go to all the trouble of getting to the part you want, how do you keep the site from timing out on you after just a few minutes which locks you out requiring #1 question info which you don't...
I hadn't been on a certain lake for half a dozen years. My outing Friday was on that lake. So I tooled around to see what changed making full use of the 2 ea 4" $99 free shipping, Hummingbird, color, sonar sets. One transducer was epoxied to the hull with JB Weld, right at the transom, inside...
Recently acquired a 2002 model Heritage Custom Trailer. Pulling up the Heritage www today, they talk about Vault Hubs on their trailers. Wondering what is on my '02. Peculiar end on the hub, like a solid, cast, (not stamped like on most non boat types with the lip for removal) steel cap...
We were on the subject the other day and I quoted from a 1996 (as I recall) published Merc. Service Manual for 60 Jet through 125 HP 3 and 4 cylinder Mercs of that and later era. I stated that the manual said that one COULD (nice rubber word) expect to have problems if below 120 PSI or over 15%...
Was out a couple of days ago. Still getting used to newly acquired used boat. I have every confidence in the condition of the equipment. Get the trailer in the water, jump in, full of glee and excitement for some fun, hit the key, she rolls up like she should but won't light off....won't even...
Just stumbled across this today. https://www.boattest.com/view-news/3276_which-is-better-4-blades-or-3-blades
Interesting as recently posted on here, I purchased my first 4 blade (actually 2) prop after 50+ years of boating. Turning Point Hustler had an interesting write up and having run...
Been diddling with props on my newly acquired 2002 rig. Since alum props are running less than a hundred bucks and I like TP props, and I found out that my 3 blade 17 put me into the "overrev limiter", I decided to try a 4 blade 17 since I never had a 4 blade and being a senior now, cruising...
I was over at Utube yesterday and was browsing boats and props. Ran across a couple of guys testing Mercury Fury props. Very interesting info on Utube videos on the subject.....like here are a few examples, worth watching:

Feeling good, got some rain overnight. Cooled things off nicely. Started the morning "coffee shop" with the guy with the outdrive that drug the ramp. Saw your reply and as I was reading responses, in scrolling down through your "corral" paused on your 25 Rude and Lapstrake...... Looked over...
Recently got back into boating with the purchase of a 2002 Crestliner 1750 and a 115 Merc 2 stroker. Purchased from a rather large dealer of such and the engine had gone through the shop with the mechanic being a seasoned professional. It was obvious he had been through the engine...
Stator puts 14.5 on a good 95% charged battery at 1500 rpms (for a number). Any reason to suspect that the signal picked up for the tach could be faulty on original Rect-Regl. and new replacement? What would be the mechanisms?
Coil shorted, ok it drops a couple of poles would still get a...
'02 Mercury 2 stroke 115 hp.
Tach in newly acquired old boat non working....same make / model as new tach.... just 20 years old and terminals rather than 4 pin connector. No deflection.
New Faria Tach: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Faria-Boat-...72.m2749.l2649
Checked voltages on 4 pin connector...
2002 boat with TCC007A 3 ¼" tach. Existing has individual lugged wire connections. Replacement has 4 (male) pin connector. Really need some help on identifying the part number of a female (pin) pigtail to adapt or a seller of such.
Thanks,
Mark
Just acquired a 2002 115 2 stroke. Tach inop.
Checked voltage and ground at tach and ok.
Ohmed grey wire from tach to bayonet connector inside engine adjacent to rectifier-regulator module....continuity ok...did find connection to appear corroded....shined it up. Haven't run engine since...
