    Great work on the livewell and those speaker boxes are fantastic.

    Yep, looks like a "boat warning buzzer" based on my Googlefu searches. Thanks!

    New Journey

    Received by top mount controls w/trim I found for a steal, complete with shift/throttle cables, ignition switch, kill switch, and 14 pin harness. Am I correct in assuming I can just leverage the 14 pin to 8 pin adapter cable to make the connection to the 8 pin motor harness? Will obviously...

    Low compression #5, 115hp inline 6

    I’d love me an early 2000’s V6, but I already have an ‘84 Merc 115hp and this ‘82 came with it, so it’s essential a spare. Hull is an ‘84 Starcraft center console weighing in at 705lbs, so the lightweight 115 makes for a nice retro package:)

    Low compression #5, 115hp inline 6

    Thanks everyone. I have a great condition 1984 115hp with 125 psi compression in all cylinders as my primary motor, so this is an extra parts or backup motor. Was just trying to determine whether I should: 1) Keep it as is for a functional back-up, even with the low compression in #5 2) Use...

    Low compression #5, 115hp inline 6

    1982 115hp Mercury inline 6, serial number identifies this motor as prop rated. This motor was picked up as a “parts motor” as it was not running after a rebuild. Apparently had a piston issue, cylinder was honed, piston replaced, and the original owner could never get it to start again. Has...

    1965 Starcraft Holiday Restomod

    Congrats on the splash! Looks like the co-captain of the tow vehicle was happy to be assisting 😁

    Little town in NWWI, just NE from the MPLS/STP metro across the river. There was a posting for a boat and trailer (old glasser) with a note in the details about two Mercury 115hps available. After a few messages and phone calls to inquire more about the motors, I cleared my calendar for the...

    1982 115hp Crank or Prop rated

    Feedback received has indicated this '82 motor to be prop rated and based on the 140hp block: From (Arne Kjetil) – “Droll” https://forums.iboats.com/threads/mercury-tower-of-power-hp-question.358147/ "1982 Mercury start measuring the engine hp at the propeller, then 140hp becomes 115hp ( ARE...

    I'd love me a 22f'tr, but the 18' is much more suited to my use and fits nicely in my garage.

    So, what do I need to know about the pressure tap, do I just leave it alone? Looks like the 79-895288A01 Water Pressure Gauge Kit is the correct outboard model. From (Arne Kjetil) – “Droll” https://forums.iboats.com/threads/mercury-tower-of-power-hp-question.358147/ "1982 Mercury start...

    1988 Starcraft Mariner MR 220 V rebuild

    Crazy how these archived photos so perfectly answer some of the questions that come up. It's almost like you staged that photo just to answer this specific question. I need your crystal ball:)

    1982 115hp Crank or Prop rated

    Also curious to know about this fitting that is located between #3 and #4 plugs on the '84. It's not currently connected to anything. Something to do with cooling?

    1982 115hp Crank or Prop rated

    Picked up a pair of 115hp, one a 1982 and the other a 1984, although the '82 has the '84-85 decals for some reason. My research has suggested that the '82's after serial 5829464 are actually prop rated, leveraging the 140hp block. This '82 is serial# 6007313. It still uses the older trim...

    I didn't get any pictures or videos of myself and the 72yo seller trying to load all this in the back of my minivan in 95 degree heat... quite the circus.

    Two is one, and one is none, right? Picked these two up yesterday, both 115hp, one a 1984 and the other a 1982 (although the skins/decals are the '84-'85 type). Came with three 6 gallon tanks, extra props, manuals, stands, and many extras. Looks like all the core electrical components are...

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    The full length bracing is interesting, never seen one done like that before. The welding work on the knee brace and how clean the deck rivets/some of the deck appear would indicate someone has tackled this one before. Always a good feeling to have them gutted and the hull looks to be in good...
