Re: Mariner 9.9 to a 15?

The one sure fire way to get 15hp from a 9.9hp is to sell the 9.9 and buy a 15.

If you try messing around with different carbs and exhaust tubes you'll end up with a FrankenMerc.... Then someone will be back here trying to work out why his "9.9" doesn't have the same parts in it as the book shows......

Same question, second thread.

I have already given you an answer in THIS thread.

The fact that nobody else bothered to answer after my post should be telling you something....

I have a 91 mercury 9.9 and was told 92 and up could be made 15 hp by just changing the carb. The older than 92 had different displacement, so no go.
