    mercury switch disconnected, why?

    I bought a boat recently with a 79 V-150. While doing some work under the hood, I noticed that the mercury switch is disconnected, as well as the idle stabiliser. I know what the idle stabiliser does and read the mixed opinions on it, but what does the mercury switch do and why would it be...

    v-150 idles worse as it is tilted down

    Mercury shift/throttle control problems

    Hey everyone, I have a 88 Cajun Fish/Ski with a Mercury 150 Outboard. I just bought it and it has a "Hot Foot" installed in it. I think that when it was installed some parts were removed from the shift controller and now it doesn't work correctly. First the throttle only button is stuck...
