Which one is that? I see 2 different parts, 1 labeled coil ignition (it's under the flywheel) and 1 labeled coil assembly ignition (it's mounted on the side of the engine with the spark plug wire)?
Hello everyone,
I am having a problem that feels like an engine mis. Idles fine and WOT is good, but between 3300-4000 rpm it hesitates. New spark plugs, all new fuel lines and filter. Any ideas where I should look? Thanks!
Hello everyone. I have a 2011 8HP Mercury Four Stroke. I am the third owner so I don't know what might have been done to this motor before I got it. I would like to find out if it has the original carburetor. I have not removed it, but from what I can see there are no identifying markings on it...
Thank you for your reply. I've read where several people have claimed to upgrade their 9.9 to 15HP. I guess that's why I assumed that they were similar. I know the specs for the 8 and 9.9 are the same, so I figured maybe there is a simple way to upgrade my 8HP. The first thing I will do this...
Thank you for the reply. I think the 8, 9.9 and 15HP were essentially the same for the 2011 model year. They were made in Japan I believe with Yamaha. I have not been able to find the specs for the 2011 models.

Bought my first boat, a fixer upper. It's a 1969, 14-0 long runabout with a closed bow. Had it on the water for the first time this week. I want to use it to putter around, do some fishing and maybe pull a tube. There will only be 2 people in the boat. There dosn't seem to be much room to fit a...
