The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I have a 1985 Merc 115hp inline 6 that cranks but won't start.The primer bulb pumps up fine,the engine turns over but it appears its not getting fuel to through the carbs.Pulled the plugs after cranking,they were bone dry.No smell of gas and no gas coming out of the carbs.I pulled the hose of...
I have a 1985 Merc 115hp inline 6 that the charging system does not appear to be working.Hooked up a volt meter across the battery while running the motor and voltage does not go above normal battery voltage.I have replaced the stator and rectifier so far,the stator was replaced for running...
I have a 1985 Merc 115hp inline 6 that won't start.I have had no starting problems in the past,didn't run to good at times but always started right up.Cranked the engine for several minutes,10 to 15 seconds at a time and the engine wouldn't fire,not even a sputter.Bulb was solid and no flooded...
I have a 1985 Merc 115hp inline 6 on a Checkmate boat that tips the scale at 750lbs not counting the gas.I am thinking about replascing this motor with a new 90hp Merc Classic(carburatered version),does any one have a guess if the 90hp will outperform the 85 115hp.I can turn 5500rpm's and about...
I have no output out of the stator to charge the battery and the 2 yellow wires going to the rectifier have been hot as the insulation has been melted.I am going to replace the stator and rectifier for that reason plus a couple of stator resistance measurements are incorrect.Does anyone know if...
Hung voltmeter across battery with engine running at fast idle and meter read less than 12 volts.I charged the battery last week(it was dead)so I thought I had better check the charging circuit.It looks like its not working.The 2 yellow wires from the stator are bare in spots,looks like they...
I have a 1985 Mercury inline 6 115hp engine and am trying to figure out what prop is on it.I found a number stamped on the front hub 90165F followed by a gap and another number 84142 with one number in front of the 8 that I cannot make out.Anyone have a clue what it is? I also found a number on...
My 85 Merc inline 6 115hp starts fine,idles fine and revs up in neutral without any problems.Runs fine at high speed until it warms up about 5-10 minutes.If you push the throttle down it just wants to quit running,if you very slowly push the throttle forward it does much better but still not...
Can anyone tell me what and where to find a chart to convert my serial number to the correct year of my 115hp merc serial 0a180301.I have seen this chart somewhere but can't find it now.Thanks.
I have a 1985 mercury o/b 115hp inline 6 that runs fine for about 5 minutes then when you push the throttle forward it just dies.It will start back up and will rev up fine in neutral but when you put it in gear it just bogs down.Took it out the next day did the same thing.It will set and run at...
