    Swapping Stators?

    is there any way to use a stator off an inline 6 115 HP to test an 8o HP stator? I know the 80 HP only has one switch box but I thought there might be a way to use the stator just to test it.

    Trolling Motor ?

    I really did not know where to post this so here goes. I have a Bill Dance foot control trolling motor. When I put it on the highest speed (5), the wire gets hot and blows the fuse. Any ideas what might cause this or how I can fix it? It works great on 4 but not 5.

    Bearing Carrier Nut

    Do I have to have the special tool to remove the bearing carrier nut on a 1982 115 HP Mercury? I think this seal is ok but while I had it off I thought I would go ahead and replace them all.

    Mercury Lower Unit - Please Help!

    I just pulled the lower unit on my 1983 115 HP Merc to change the seals. When I got it off I tried to change the gears but it would not come out of forward. Did I do something wrong or is this normal? I believe it has the ez shift b/c it does ratchet when in gear. What do I do next?

    Impeller Or Repair Kit?

    I am going to order a seal kit for my l6 115 HP 1983. I am also replacing the impeller of course. Should I order the water pump repair kit or will everything I need be in a seal kit to replace the impeller? What would be the advantages of a repair kit?

    Is there any way to test the rectifier on my 115 hp mercury (1983)? I put one on yesterday that I thought was good just to see if the rectifier could be my problem and it started blowing the fuse to the starter. Is there any way to test and make sure the one I have is good?

    ODDD1

    Read a post where you were talking about the blue ignitions. I have an 83 Merc 115 HP that I am having trouble with at full throttle. It bogs down in the hole a little but will eventually plane off. After I get it up I can back off the throttle a little and it will go fine but when I go full...

    Mercury Ignition?

    Just had to replace the switch boxes on 83 Mercury 115 HP. Now it is really sluggish out of the whole. When it does get on plane it will miss at full throttle. If I back off just a little it runs fine. I misted the carbs and it made it bog down even worse. Changed the plugs and still no...

    Merc Misses past idle

    Well I finally have fire on all six now. Replaced the switch boxes. When I went out to test it, I did not have full power. Idled as good as could be. It was like it was bogging down and missing at the same time when I went past idle. It really was more like a surge in power than a miss...
