    100HP Merc Outboard ? Slow Acceleration & Stalling

    I recently purchased a 1988 16? Sea Ray Seville with a 100HP Merc/Sea Ray engine on it. Took it out for the first time yesterday and it ran very well for the most part. There are, however, two problems: 1) Slow Acceleration ? I?m not expecting to take off like a rocket but I do know it...

    1988 Merc/Sea Ray 100 HP Impeller Change

    I'm about to drop the lower unit on my 1988 Merc/Sea Ray 100 HP outboard. Just had a nightmare of a time putting the lower unit back together on my 70HP Evinrude (couldn't connect the shift rod). Since I actually want to take the boat out tomorrow I can't spend hours and hours trying to put...

    1985 70HP Evinrude Not Getting Fuel
