This sounds simple However I do not see any hardware for sale anywhere to make it happen.<br />I have one built in gas tank. It is hooked to my bulb and then my main motor. Is it possible to spit it to my kicker as well. Instead of using a different gas tank for kicker?<br />Thank you
I have a 1969 glasspar citation. It has a merc tower of power long shaft on it. I was given a 15hp force I want to use for kicker. My question is will it work. The cavitation area is below water line due to V of bottom of boat. I would like to buy a connector rod to hook both motors toghther...
Looking for a source for parts for this kicker. It is a US marine by force AKA mercury at the time made this motor. It is 15hp 2 cylinder motor. <br />Thanks
Well after almost having a heart attack when looking back to see NO WATER comming out of pee-hole while crusing 15 miles accross sound today, I did see plenty of water comming out of exhaust and it was just warm like usual. I got boat home and low and behold. I found that our local Washington...
I had a fishing friend just GIVE me a 80's outoboard he said runs but he has no use for it. He said it was made by Mercury under a different name. US MARINE POWER.<br />The only indenifying thing is a sticker that says US MARINE POWER and Model 1279 Sn 152f902.<br />Has anyone ever heard of this...

Okay, After tuning Idle I have it about perfect. I took boat out on the salt with a couple buddys to try the new power trim unit I installed. Well boat started right up and after warming I put down fast idle arm and idle good at about 800 rpm. Still have adjustable propulse prop set on 18pitch...
Okay, As you know I have installed a tower of power . More exact a 1969 1250.<br />Today I installed bilge pump. Went perfect.<br />then decided to tackle my power tilt unit.<br />Well first thing I cleaned out hoses. Then setup a fabricated mounting area for main unit. Then I filled per selco...
Okay, After getting new steering setup I finally got my tower of power on the lake today. first here is what I have<br />1968 16.8 ft Glasspar semi deep V citation. Its a big water boat with lots of dig in the back. It weights 1000 without motor.<br />1969 1250 in good shape I got from Billr I...
I think mine is ok, Pees steady on idle and increases on throttle increase. Is it normal to take it about 8-10 seconds to start peeing when i start motor? <br /><br />Also If I as a newbie want to change impeller is it an easy do able job? and how?<br />thanks<br />Tod
Well started with top fuel pump and had it off, clean and rebuilt in under 20 minutes. I thought I LOVE THESE MERCS.<br />Well that was short lived! Then I started to remove the lower pump. Well after taking off power cable and removing it from housing to move out of the way. I was luckily able...
Okay, Just some notes from getting the old 1250 Merc outboard running and some help needed.<br />1. Changed plugs, oil, and set mixture at 40-1 as motor had not been run in awhile. Also <br />Put a can of sea foam in.<br />2.Installed linkages for shift and throttle. I believe they are correct...
Is there anyway someone could take a picture of your shift and throttle linkage at motor hookups. I am having a heck of a time figureing them out to hookup. The shift I think I have but throttle no idea.<br />Thanks.<br />Also I have power trim unit to install. question. can I lock motor down...
Walmart had good deal on 833/L78V Spark Plugs.<br />I have a 1969 Mercury 1250 motor. I think it calls for ql76v's Does anyone know if the 833's will work or will it be a problem.<br />Thanks.
OK, Just traded a motor so I am now installing a 1969 1250 merc. It has power trim box. I can see that the upper part with hoses I probably drill holes in my spillover area as that part will seal waterproof. The main part with the solinoid and operating unit. Do I install that underneath by my...
