    Primer Bulb Wouldn't Firm Up & Intermittent Sneezing At Low Power

    In regards to my 1999 Mercury 15HP 2-Stroke.... I changed the fuel line to a genuine Quicksilver quick connect style line, and replaced the EPA cap on my Attwood tank with a Moeller venting cap (which fit just fine). It was the pre-assembled 8' line with the standard 1/4" thread on one end, and...

    Mislabeled Fuel Fittings!?!?!?

    I just bought a rebuilt '99 15HP Merc that I was having problems with, and took in for service. I brought along my fuel tank and line, just for them to test.

    Hi all, I just picked up a 2000 Mercury 2-Stroke 15HP outboard, which has a charging/electric start kit and tiller installed. It's going on a 3.5m Zodiac hard floor inflatable. I'd like to build a miniature instrument panel for it. I'd like to at least have a tach, and a water temp gauge to...

    Largest Portable Engine for 12' Inflatable

    After a whole lot of browsing around and researching 4-person inflatable boats, I've settled on the Zodiac Cadet 360 Fastroller. It's light, portable, and uses an air floor instead of those 100lb plywood or aluminum decks. At any rate, I'm thoroughly torn between the 9.9 and 15hp engines. The...
