Do you have any experience with this OB? If so, I am interested in your opinion, good or bad.<br /><br />This particular one was overhauled in '97. It's attached to an '87 Fisher 18' in great visual condition, fresh water only, boat and motor. I may be purchasing this in the next couple of days from a reliable source. He hasn't run it in a few years and is having trouble getting it started... thinks its a bad primer bulb. I am presently having it evaluated by my local Merc dealer, but if you have something to say based on your experiences, I sure would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

The 1985-1988 115 was IMHO one of the best products ever, EVER made by Mercury Marine. <br /><br />If it passes a compression test OK and does not rattle or knock - buy it and get the carbs cleaned for sitting so so long.<br /><br />-W
