    Prop question

    Hello prop experts. I have found a stainless steel prop at a decent price that I would like to try on my motor. But I'm not sure if it will work. First, I have a 1986 Mercury 75hp motor. It currently has a SS 21p prop. I'm only turning 4200 RPM, and everything else seems to check out good...

    "Up" on the tilt/trim stopped working

    Well, it seems I can't get one little thing fixed without another little thing popping up. For the record, I have an 86 Merc 75hp 4cyl with PTT. Last time out, I noticed the motor would barely tilt up. So I got it home and found that I had blown the top seal on the tilt pistion. Okay, so I...

    Tilt tube leaking

    Okay, so as I get closer to getting my motor purring, now another problem crops up. Last time out in the water, the motor wouldn't hardly tilt up. I finally got it up, with a bit of manual help, and got it home to find out the tilt tube was leaking fluid. Is there a valve kit for this to...

    Hullo All

    Wow, just found this site. I was over on the fiberglassics/mfg site, but never knew this one existed. I was cruising around the Mercury board and just happened to go back an scroll down and saw this one. Anyway, I have a 1969 Edinboro and just got my 75hp Merc going on it. It had a 50hp...

    86 Merc 75 top speed

    Hullo all. Okay, finally got the old '86 Merc 75hp out on a successful run. Really did great, but I really though I'd get a litte more top speed out of her. After she got good and warmed up, I punched it, and GPS indicated speed was 33.1mph max, averaged around 32mph. I was hoping for more...
