Hello all,
I will be getting a 1999 60hp electric start /w tilt outboard soon. I have never owned or worked on a mercury before. Just johnson and rudes.
I will be changing the waterpump impeller imediately.
I noticed this engine has a 2 cycle oil mixxing system, should I axe this and premix the fuel myself? It is done often on the OMC motors for fear the mixxing system fails and kills the motor.
Was wondering does anyone recommend I get the factory OEM manual for this engine. (a lot of tricky settings and adjustments to know about?). Or are the cheaper manuals fine?
Thanks all!
