    Replacing Motor mounts

    Hang the motor by the powerhead. Take nut off of Center upper motor mount. Loosen the 2 side motor mount nuts. Then slide the bracket forward and remove. If it is a tiller the throttle cable and the kill switch wires need to be disconnected.

    Need advice 96 Merc

    Yes Blind bore motors can be bored out. Get a cheap bore scope to look at cylinder #3. But my guess is that motor needs to come apart.

    How can I make my Tracker 40 HP faster?

    Sounds like you need the 50 hp carbs.

    How can I make my Tracker 40 HP faster?

    Checked for Spark? Made sure the timer base is moving? Sounds like it is running on 1 cylinder.

    What motor? What puller? All Mercuries are not the same.

    It would be a better comparison a 2 cylinder OMC 50 idles every bit as well as a 4 cylinder merc. And has a better torque curve. But we are off topic because Texas Mark got his feelings hurt. Let's go back to the OPs original post.

    Well I bet you I can get a 50s OMC 25 hp to idle better than you can't get a 50s Mercury 4 cylinder 25 hp to idle.

    Well I would imagine your 115 with all the jury rigging done to it doesnt idle all that great. When I hear people talk about the tower of power Smooth idle is not the first thing mentioned. More cylinders does not mean better idling , the best idling motors are the old OMC 2 cylinder outboards...

    All I said was they did it to improve idle quality in that motor. What your I6 has to do with anything is beyond me. But it seems to have your undies in a bunch.

    Yup 4750-5250 are the Rpm range for the 4 cylinder 2+2

    The plastic gear can last a lifetime. What kills them is overheating.

    I will disagree with the trolling aspect. I know a lot of people who have trolled with those and have no issues.

    How is it built like no other 2 strk? All they did was take the idle circuit out of the carb, Hardly groundbreaking. More than likely an attempt at lowering emissions and improving idle quality.

    Explained several times in this post. It's a very simple system.

    Not what it means at all.

    2+2 means it idles on the top 2 cylinders and around 1800 RPM the bottom 2 kick in and it starts running on all 4 cylinders.
