    92 Merc 115 No spark question

    Ok. Got the boat out of storage and went through it to get it ready to get out this weekend. I'm getting no spark. It's acting like the kill switch is thrown but it's not. Is there an easier way to bypass that (for testing) besides taking the controls apart? I believe (from what wiring diagrams...

    '91 9.9 kicker exhaust question

    I've got a 91 9.9 Mercury kicker motor on my boat. Everything runs well with it, plugs look clean, actually easy to start.. but I do have a question. When I was running it last year on the river (rather use that than the electric motor), if I had even a bit of tail wind it seemed like the...

    Merc 8hp, water out relief hole on mid section.

    I have a 92 Mercury 8hp kicker. This motor is new to me, so I'm not used to how it normally runs. I just replaced the impeller, and gave it a test run. I ran it in a plastic tub of water, and was able to just submerge the cavitation plate by about an inch or so, not ideal but the best I could...

    Power disconnect switch question

    Just had a quick question about wiring a power disconnect switch for my starter / electronics battery. I already have one on the trolling motor battery. I have 2 fuse blocks. One at the front of the boat and one at the back. Each block is <15a total. If I take the red from the battery, into a...

    91 sylvan eliminator draw (or how shallow is too shallow)

    I'm still searching for a good fishing boat, and I'm zeroing in on a 91 Sylvan Eliminator 19'. Being a larger (and heavier) boat, how shallow is too shallow for it. Could I put around in 3-4 feet and be OK? or would I need to stay deeper? I've been searching all over the place and there's not a...

    30 hp mercury4 stroke... to small?

    My search for a boat continues, and I came across a nice 2012 Crestliner Kodiak 16 in amazing shape. The only concern I have is that it's got a 30 hp outboard on it. The hull is only rated for 60, but this is half that. Is 30hp too small for that size boat?

    92 evinrude 60hp remote cuts out after 3/4 throttle

    I've been looking at a use boat and came across a 92 Crestliner Nighthawk 1640 with a 60hp Evinrude on it. In asking about the boat, I was told that it gets to 3/4 throttle just fine, but cuts out completely past that. Compression is supposedly good across all the cylinders, and was told that it...

    80s Mercury 115 powerhead compatibility

    Can anyone tell if the powerhead from a 82 merc 115 6cyl will fit an 88 115 6cyl? I see two part numbers between the two engines. 79743A32 - The powerhead I'm looking at, and figure to be an 82 by the donor serial number 42110A83 - Also listed in the merc parts catalog as a powerhead for the...

    88 Mercury 115 inline 6 questions

    I have a "new to me" 88 115 on a 84 16 foot Ebko. I've been going over a bunch of stuff an have the motor running MUCH better than it was when I got it, but I have a couple questions I'm having trouble finding the answer to. When I'm on muffs, what should my RPM be in idle drive? I've seen 650...
