I posted this earlier but I didn't realize there was a specific forum for mercury engines, so I'll re post, picked up a 115 HP merc outboard and controls today, I think it's a 70s model I'll post a pic of the serial number and if someone could decode it for me that would be great. It needs a few new wires other than that it's supposed to run good. One question I have is how do start this thing on dry land in my driveway? I don't want to go to the lake just to get this thing running. Can someone tell me the exact year of this motor? I know it's a 115hp but my hull is rated at 110 max should that be a problem? The old man I got this from didn't have the key or title for it, how do I go about rigging up an ignition switch or get a new key? Since the motor is a 70s model I believe did they title outboards at that time? I'm new so bear with me for all my questions because I have plenty the boat in the pic is the boat it came off of
