    Just a weak lower unit from the 25 or 35 hp motors was used on them.

    Need help with 1979 Mercury 45 4.5HP

    That is normal for a 7os Mercury. You will be lucky if only those 2 wires are bad.

    Need help with 1979 Mercury 45 4.5HP

    Might want to look again. Take the red cover off. See the felt wick? Pretty sure that is for points.

    I think it's the same as the force 50s. I don't think they ever fixed it.

    The 150 is a 5 cylinder with 3 carbs and 1 of the carbs feeds only 1 cylinder. Complete oddball made for around 2 yrs. The 55 hp uses the lower unit off of the smaller engines a known problem with those.

    Need help with 1979 Mercury 45 4.5HP

    Does'nt that motor have points? And you might want to make sure that is not a phasemaker ignition. I dont remember when they stopped making it but I believe it carried on in the smaller engines for quite a few yrs. somebody will correct me if I am wrong.

    Get a factory manual and get a piston stop to double check the pointer.

    84 Mercury 25XD won’t tilt!

    Seems to be a common theme nowadays. People ask for help and then get mad about the advice.

    If they were so good why are you here? Highly doubtful that a big shop would even look at that motor.

    I consider the 55 hp and the single carb 70 hp and the 150 hp to be the 3 worst force/Chrysler motors to not buy.

    Those motors brand new never had 110 psi compression. To get those compression #s on that junk motor you put oil in the pistons

    84 Mercury 25XD won’t tilt!

    The U hook on the end of the tilt shaft looks bent up. Tilt the motor up and watch the rod. Does it move at all? Does it pull up the hooks?

    Mercury/Mariner are the same motor after the late 80s. Only difference between them is the tag that says what color to paint it and what decal package it gets. Buy the Mercury manual for that serial # and fix your motor.
