OK here is the story,
Repowered my boat with a 2000 Johnson 200HP. Before I had a 1988 Evinrude.
I would like to use the system check tach/guage which I have and also have the newer modular wiring harness. My issue is I'd really like to be able to use my existing mechanical throttle controls...
Hello all,
I have a 2000 200HP Johnson Ocean Pro and am using my older pre 1996 wiring harness. I purchased the adapter kit Part # 176345 and am able to get the engine running. My question is what would be the easiest way for me to convert my older 3 wire tach (purple,grey and black) control...
Here is what has been going on
I was having what I thought was fuel issues and bogging during acceleration. Had it sent in to local marina and they first did a spark and compression test. I should have tried that first I know but anyway turns out 4 of the magnets unepoxied and fell and destroyed...

When we get to the dock with the dingy couldnt get...

I have a 1989 Evinrude 225 with OMC controls. Well last weekend I was out and the ignition key snapped in half in the switch (only have 1 key no spare). I can start the engine by placing the broken half of the key and starting.
My question is how difficult is it to change the switch? I have...
Hello all, I just picked up a 1978 200CCP Aquasport with a Johnson 185HP. 110 in 5 cylinders and 105 in one. I have cleaned carbs, changed plugs and wires, new impellar and lower unit oil recently just changed.
Boat is about 1800lbs with no fuel or passengers.
I am not getting any hole shot...
Hi I am looking to add a power trim kit to my 115 Merc.
Couple of questions:
I like the idea of the CMC PT 130 but am concerned about the setback and needing to make adjustments to my steering. What options do I have? My other option would be to find a used power tilt for my engine. I have been...
Hi I am now thinking about adding power tilt and trim to my 1978 1150. I am having issues with my manual tilt pin as mentioned in an earlier post and am wondering if this ebay ad would fit my motor...
I am having issues with my tilt pin on my 1978 manual tilt mercury 1150 HP.
On my old motor I would set the pin and then be able to lift the motor up and set the brackets. I have since replaced the motor and now the only way I can set the pin is when I am at the dock when the boat is in the...
Quick question about ignition controls. Can I use the wiring harness that comes on my 1979 115 non distributor with a 197x distributor ignition motor?
I think the boat side wiring harness matches up nut am not positive. Will look tonight when I get home.
Thanks, I have been having some issues...
So after a few posts on here it looks like I have a bad piston on my 1979 115 inline 6.
I have an opportunity to pick up a 1978 1150 for about $250 bucks. Good compression in all cylinders 110 psi, but it will not start. He said it turns nicely, "just not getting spark". He said the wiring...
I am wondering if someone can confirm something for me. I have a 78 or 79 mercury inline 6 115 HP with low compression on 4 (about 40 psi). All others have around 120. I am showing some milky substance around carb and plugs. So I had a mechanic come take a look. He is saying head gasket.
I am a...
