please I'm debating my mechanic on timeing. HELP!
Hi, I'm back for another season of great advise. I have a 78 merc 115 more of less,it has somenew parts but anyway. My mechanic(who I think is losing his touch)insists on setting the timeing to 27 degrees. Everything I have read says 21 degrees...
And the question is where can I get a prop for a 79 merc 115? All I can find is props for 8o and newer and up to 73. Also is there a web page for motors in that time area?
Does anyone know of a site where I could get a blown apart diagram of a 79 or any merc inline 115? BTW do you want me to delete past questions when I'm done or leave them for others to benifit from?
Back again. I have a 1979 Merc 115. My mechanic that I bought it from has just rebuilt it for the 3rd time this summer ( thank God he gauranteed the thing). Now he is saying the number 2 carb(the one for pistons 3&4)is not sucking.BTW the reason it was being rebuilt was a rod bearing ate the...

Howdy. My 78 Merc 115 trim motor is blowing fuses. I'm finally hooked up right and started pumping the oil into the lines and after about 3 seconds it blows a 30 amp fuse. Do I need a bigger fuse or is the problem bigger. The trim worked last year when I got it from another boat. I did replace...
Hi. I have a 1978 Merc 115 outboard. I'm trying to get the T&T going but all I get is a click in either direction. Lets say we're starting from scratch. I have the fluid and assume it gos in the screw hole on the side. My main question I guess is where do the 2 brown or salmon wires coming from...
