    All the four letter bad words in creation, times 3!

    ARGH!!! Didn't get the prop today, but it was kind of a blessing. Changed out the lower unit oil, cleaned the engine real well, checked the carbs, look brand new. Now I'm having probs with my gearing and shifting. The shift, when in "neutral", my shaft runs in reverse, in "forward", it's in...

    'Bout ready to get this Merc tip-top!

    Prop should be ready tomorrow. Got new bearings and O-rings for lower unit. New gear oil, bearing/shaft grease and power tilt and trim lube. Have everything else, including my new manual. If I run into any difficulties or unique/unusual fixes to difficulties, I'll be sure to be back...LOL.

    I finally did it!!!!!!!!!!

    O M G!!! Talk about a pain in the butt!!! My propeller would NOT come off the shaft for all the tea in China! I took it to the gf's mom and step-dad's house, considering he's a mechanic with TONS of tools, to get his help. We tried everything imaginable to get the prop off, finally decided on a...

    What a stupid question

    would have been stupider if I wouldn't have asked, and messed up more motor. I'm (hopefully) gonna be getting the prop off tomorrow, and was curious about something. Can I do any and everything else to the motor that needs to be done, including RUNNING the engine, with no prop on it? I'm pretty...

The company is either closed or not listed on yellowbook.com. I'm curious to find info and possibly literature...

    How do YOU spell frustration????

    M-E-R-C-U-R-Y lol According to my research, I have a 1990 oil injected 115 hp Tower of Power. I got to this conclusion by using the serial # 0C247555, that is on the engine, and looking at the chart(s) at websites http://www.autorepairmanuals.biz/site/573683/page/599300 and...

    Thank GAWD I found this site!!

    I am having MAJOR issues with my 1996 Mercury 115 hp! I need to remove the prop, so it can be straightened and balanced and have the bushing replaced. No big deal, right? Wrong! I removed the locking ring with the tabs thingy, and the nut...easy enough. There was a lil aluminum looking spacer...

    1996 Mercury 115 hp

    Ok, just bought a boat with said engine on it. A couple of questions from people who know, so I can make sure I'm getting the best experience possible. Is a battery isolator worth the trouble and minor expense of installing? My pisser takes a few seconds to start, after the engine is cranked...
