I have decided to go Colour and both of these models are newish in Australia and am hoping for some experianced users input before I decide which one to buy.<br /><br />Both units cost a little over $1000 dollars here but are in the $500 range in the USA.<br /><br />Has anyone had any experiance...
Hi Folks, My newish merc 121 hrs and reently serviced by a dealer just died when coming in from the last trip. <br />The low oil sensor did go off just prior to the stopping. there is still about a third of the resivoir left so just thought it was the sloppy conditions we were in. the motor is...
Is it just my motor or is it common for the low oil alarm to sound when it still has 2 litres in the tank? If I read the owners manual properly it is only a 3 litre tank.

Till it arrives can anybody tell me the correct spark gap for my motor 1981 v4 115hp. I have just bought a new set of Champion L77JC4 plugs & dont trust factory presets to be correct. Also is it possible to disable the gear selector without dismantling the control box to allow to rev motor with...
SEEMS TO BE A GAUGE ISSUE NOT A SENDER BUT COULD BE WRONG.<br />IT INTERMITTENTLY STICKS AT FULL TILT INDICATION, BUT SENDER IS DOWN WITH MOTOR. TAP ON GAUGE FRONT AND IT GOES TO CORRECT POSITION. <br />I JUST WONDER IF AS IT ONLY OCCURS AT IGNITION START (IF IGNITION IN ON POSITION BUT MOTOR...
