    Mercury 1995 115 runs well until below 1000 RPM

    Turns out my problem was caused by a bad bullet connector on one of the stator wires behind the oil tank. While installing the new voltage regulator, I needed to remove the oil tank to get to the voltage regulator connections behind it but the tank was "stuck" to something. The bad bullet...

    Does the switch box impact the rev limiter?

    If all else fails, try unplugging the yellow stator wires going to the voltage regulator and see if your problem goes away. I would be interested in the results given the problem with my 115 that you are aware of.

The hotter the engine got the worse the symptoms would be until it finally wouldn't...

    Mercury 1995 115 runs well until below 1000 RPM

    I recently had the exact same problem with my 1996 Merc 115. It left me stranded a couple times and I had to use the trolling motor to get back to the dock. Turns out it was the voltage regulator. I downloaded the troubleshooting guide from the CDI website. The second thing to try was...
