    '89 Mercury 9.9 parts needed

    It is more than a set of cables. The whole shifting and throttle set up are different for the tiller motor. That drive shaft is expensive because they break a lot.

    I live in WI so when I was growing up that 55 was a motor that people were skiing behind. Maybe it was all the shifting that caused those failures.

    I think it's the same as the force 50s. I don't think they ever fixed it.

    The 150 is a 5 cylinder with 3 carbs and 1 of the carbs feeds only 1 cylinder. Complete oddball made for around 2 yrs. The 55 hp uses the lower unit off of the smaller engines a known problem with those.

    Does'nt that motor have points? And you might want to make sure that is not a phasemaker ignition. I dont remember when they stopped making it but I believe it carried on in the smaller engines for quite a few yrs. somebody will correct me if I am wrong.
