Just picked up this 1984 115hp TOP. I've been looking for one for a while and this one popped up on fbmp. It was on a junk bass boat. It fired right up and tested 125 to 130 PSI on all six. $500 I'm pretty excited.

I had one of those from 1984 till 1998. Still one of my favorite Motors
Last pic has it with a Cowl from a 71 1150, except for the lower cowl cover which is still brown

Someone has been messing with the Idle stop, as the Locknut is backed off, and one Switchbox has had the Potting Material removed and the Components are visible, or perhaps it is an Aftermarket Part.

Nice to see a motor with a good paint job and clean decals.:giggle:

Check that gearcase for lube/water it looks like it has dragged across something, I would replace the impeller and lube the driveshaft splines.
