I just purchased a boat that has a merc 125hp 2 strok motor that went underwater about a week ago. What should I do first when i get it to potentially bring it back too life.
I just recently tuned up my motor and put a new 17pitch prop on my 21' Center Console VIP. My max speed was 21MPH at 4500 RPM. What can I do to get more speed? Any help would be appreciated.
I have been having trouble with my 1984 Mercury on my 21 VIP center console the most I can normally get out of it is about 15mph today I installed new switch boxes, i have a new stator and new wires. With a DVA adapter I get 185 volts going to each coil. I did a compression test today and only...

I am at a loss. I received a 90hp Mercury mounted it to the boat hooked it all up fired right up, tilt/trim work great, but when i try to put it in reverse it will not go into it, im not sure it is even going into neutral. I unhooked the throttle cable and the shifter cable and tried manually...
