Re: Can you tell me what year is this Nissan ???
fishon71 I have pretty much the exact motor. (Dark blue shaft with a silver hood with red & blue graphics?) This will be my 3rd season with it. I've not had any problems with mine - though I replace gear oil and put a new set of plugs in every spring. I also disconnect the fuel line and run all the gas out of it before pulling up the ramp.<br /><br />If you do need any parts, visit Elvin at internet outboards - he is also a member here on the Nissan forum:<br /><br />

You only need to change the carb. cam which allows the butterfly on the carb. to open further and voila! 15hp in 9.9 clothing. I fish mainly on 10hp lakes and my boat is a little large for a 9.9 - so it makes a big difference on the top end.
