    2.5 Mercury build

    I am turning my late 2.0/150 into a 2.5 liter motor. Parts wise theres not a lot of difference between the two. Pistons and block. Heres a pic of the bore difference. Ports in the block are completely different but you get the idea. Thats about it. In the late 2.0 motors the 150 carbs...

    Prop hits trim tab

    Re: Prop hits trim tab Using the right prop would be best but sure, you can grind the trim tab. Mercury makes several different configuration trim tabs for some of their motors to clear long props. You could run without it and some of the higher HP mercs dont have them but they do use a fin on...

    Looking for a jet

    Ive finally given up on old hokey motors and I'm in the process of shopping for new Merc outboard. I'm contemplating a 110 jet drive outboard. I cant find any performance data on light pad bottom boats like my 17 foot '81 Checkmate Enticer. Merc uses the 150 powerhead on the 110 and the 110 hp...

    Inline 1500 carb throttle pickup

    I just got my fresh 1500 together and fired up last night. NEW NOS block, NOS crank, NOS rods, new pistons, new fiber reeds, NOS bearings, fresh rebuilt with Merc kit carbs etc. As close to a new 1500 as is possible in the 21st Century. Anyway its idling away at 10 degrees ATDC with a max of 21...

    oil injection help

    I bought a 225 with oil injection. The previous owner had it set up with an external oil tank. I'm not using the external tank. Do I need to run a line from the intake manifold to pressurize the engine mounted tank in the same manner the external tnk is pressurized and/or does the tank need to...

    Gave up on the 1500

    Well, I finally figured after a few weeks of adjusting the same 1500 stuff over and over again that the damned thing is just too worn to run well. I don't have the time to tear it apart and send the block off for a real bore job right now and I'm not crazy about the labyrinth seals either...

    Tower of power trim gauge?

    Is there a sender for a tower of power that will let me use a actual trim gauge. Mine has a sender of some sort but I don't think it will run a gauge.

    1500 Mercury driving me crazy

    This thing is driving me nuts. Got it out on the water yesterday. No power at all on the bottom end. Full throttle off idle it either dies completely or hits 1500 rpm or so and sits there forever even at WOT. I was able to feather it up until it hit 2200 RPM ( took 3 minutes ) then it took off...

    Inline mercry 1500 carb problems

    New to me 1500 mercury. I overhauled the powerhead and rebuilt the carbs. Put it all back together. I am having difficulty getting it to idle at under 6 degrees BTDC on the muffs and 8-10 BTDC in the water. Tried all sorts of mixture settings but anything over 1 1/4 turn out and it gets rich...

    Mercury ring compressor

    I'm about to start reassembly of my 1500. I picked up a set of mercury ring compressors. I have a 1973 Mercury service manual. I must say that the Mercury service manual was probably written by the same people that write Chiltons manuals. "Take engine apart. Put engine back together". It sucks...
