    Repowering from 1996 112 evinrude to 1995 115hp evinrude help

    I love the idea of not having to premix so much since I’ve only known that, but unfortunately I do not know how to check the test warning system for oil consumption. Is it an easy modification to take it off?

    Thanks for the reply racer, so you think scrap the oil injection system all together?

    Mercury tower of power years

    Yeah that same question came to mind, so there was a few things that was weird with this situation, the guy ended up taking the post down and telling me he ended up not wanting to sell for such a low price (which he basically dropped in fear of me buying a different boat) so I can’t say I’m not...

    Mercury tower of power years

    For some backstory the guy asked if I wanted it after talking for a while and I was honest and told him I was looking at another boat that had more things I want and needed on my next boat and also told him the price of the other boat 8k then I said I’m gonna go and check out this boat first...

    Mercury tower of power years

    That does sound cool! It’s a little loud for my situation I rather have a quiet motor so when I come up on a fishing spot it doesn’t trip them out. I really want a Suzuki or Honda if possible for future but I don’t know what to think I gotta see this boat before I assume but mismatch in years...

    Mercury tower of power years

    I guess the guy bought it off someone and got the engine from a place that rebuilds them but I saw that one post how the guy got screwed over by the owner on the east coast for building one for him…. Again I love working on engines just not when it holds me back from fishing lol. Interesting...

    Mercury tower of power years

    Oh wow, I don’t think I can do that old of a motor, so they don’t make any newer versions? That’s such a bummer man that boat really seemed to be a good boat but I cannot afford a repower if I buy this boat unfortunately at least not now

    Mercury tower of power years

    Hey everyone, I had a question of the tower of power years that Mercury put out for their outboards specifically 140hp? I’m thinking of buying one from this person but he doesn’t seem to know where to take a picture of the serial on the back nor about the engine. The boat is a saltrun 2012 with...

    Saltwater fishing boat help?!

    I'm over in los Alamitos, i actually launch out of san pedro and long beach area regularly as well as Huntington. i agree the wind can be an issue and the caps are a little tough sometimes in my 15' although i have a pretty tall freeboard on my invader. As far as the boat prices it has been...

    Saltwater fishing boat help?!

    I’m pretty nuts I guess but I go out on my 15 ft boat about 7 miles out. Always head on a swivel and paying attention to the weather and radio but the rough water can be too much for my fam for me it’s literally me surfing on waves when I’m coming back in or riding up waves going out it really...
