Hi everyone, how 'bout a post from Sunny Spain?
I have a dive RIB - 20ft Ribtec which used to have twin 4-stroke Mercury 50's. They were useless in heavy seas because they didn't have the instant response and power that you need to climb a 10ft wave.
I am changing them for twin 90 Mercury...
trevorcday said in a post 04/01/2002 that you could uprate a Mercury 50 2002 to 60hp by changing the plastic restrictor plate behind the carbs for one from a 60 with larger holes.<br /> Does this mean that the carb jets remain the same? Any idea of the Mercury Part No for the larger hole plate...

I have twin Mercury 50 4 stroke outboards, 1996.<br />I read in this forum that by changing a plastic carb spacer, you can uprate to 60 hp version.<br />Can anyone tell me the part numbers and where to get these 60 hp spacers (I live in Spain) by Mail Order.
