This is just a curious, silly question. I have a 1989 100hp. I have a 1978 135hp that for whatever reason I want to use mid section. Is there any advantage/disadvantage for doing this? I think it’s direct swap.
Compression is between 145 and 150 on all holes. The motor came with an updated ignition which had no spark. I found proper CD Box and coil. Still no spark. I sent my CD boxes and coils, I now have multiples, and distributor away and they work on another motor. Any thoughts?
1: there is a pin that holds the shift handle in place. Not sure if it’s pressed in or if it’s a small Allen key. My eyes aren’t like they use to be.
2: my ‘78 has regular looking drive shaft with splines that go into the crankshaft. The lower unit is good. My ‘79 doesn’t have the spines, but a...
Maybe. I have both a 1978 and a 1979 year models. They have subtle differences. I’m hoping to make one good motor from the two. There’s just a couple of things I’m not sure of, so I will need a bit of info from a manual.

Good day. I’m on the hunt for a good service manual for a 1978-79 Mercury 20hp outboard. Would anyone have a link or even a PDF I could purchase. I’m in Canada so finding one on eBay is very costly. These things are hard to come by. .
I am on the hunt for some pics of a mid 70s Ebbtide Tri Hull interior. Asking for a friend, really. They want to do their interior close to original design of the boat. . Thanks.
I’ll check that out. Thank you. I have my eye on a Fiberglass truck cap that I could cut just the very top of it. It’s almost the size I need. Then have some bars made up to support it.
