    Boat Wiring Question - 2 Batteries

    I bought basically a basket case bass boat with a 115 Mariner on it. The wiring was nothing but a big convoluted mess and just added confusion as I worked to get the engine going, so to keep things simple, I removed all wiring, got the engine running (great), and now I'm in the process of...

    Chrysler 140HP - Low RPM, No Speed

    I have an early 80's Chrysler 140hp, model 1407h96. My problem is that I can get no more the 3500 RPMs and a top speed of 25 mph, or there abouts. Gets a skier up, but barely. It's on a rather heavey 16' Glastron boat, but I would still expect more get up and go then that. I'm using a 13"x17...

    WOT is blah....

    What's up with my 86', 4 cyl 140hp Chrysler? It's on a 16' Glastron Runabout. WOT is about 3500 rpm, and roughly 22 - 30 mph depending on load. I am proped with a 13"x17 pitch prop which doesn't sound like to much for a 140, so I haven't changed it yet. Compression is 125 on each cylinder. Any...

    Bad transition from slow speed to high speed!

    Engine: '84 Mariner, in-line 6, 115hp.<br /><br />Hi guys... such a great forum this is.

    Does one trim guage work for all?

    I need to put a new trim guage on my '84, 6cyl 115 Mariner, so I bought a generic type on Ebay, new in the box. When I wire it up, the needle pegs out to the "up" side of guage. It does this whether I have the sender wire attached or not. Is this guage malfunctioning, or do I need a...

    115 Mariner - Water in Cyl - Power Head Removal?

    Engine: '84 Mariner, Ser# 6527202, in-line 6, 115 hp.<br /><br />Topic: Water squirting out of No. 6 cylinder. (100psi +/- 3%) on the top 5 cylinders, but thus far unable to check #6 due to the lower engine casing being in the way. Thinking of drilling a 1/2" hole back there to get my tester...

    Mercury Remote Control - "Throttle Only" Not Working

    I have a mid 80's 115hp Mariner with the common Mercury Commander series type remote control, the one with the square black button at the base of the handle for the throttle only mode. Problem: I cannot get it to go into throttle only mode. No matter what I try, nothing happens. There is only a...
