    '73 Merc 115hp with Airguide Sea Speed Tach problem

    I have a '73 Merc that I am working on. I am attempting to get the timing and carbs set up and have this old tach that was on the old boat that this motor was on when I got it.

    '88 Merc 115hp Inline 6 Exhaust Problem

    I was running my Boat today trying to get some late season fishing done and my motor suddenly made a couple banging noises, rattling noises, and soon after died.

    1988 Merc 115hp Inline 6 will only idle

    Just picked up a 1988 Merc 115hp outboard to replace the smaller 48hp Evinrude that is currently on my 30' Pontoon. I got the motor cheap cause the guy that owned it was recently crippled and didnt have the time, energy, or motivation to fix. The guy told me the last time he started it, it would...
