My name is Son. I am a small time outboard mechanic by trade. Merc Inlines are my passion. Information on these great engines are endless and I definitely do not know everything. I diagnose and repair using information and skills gained (or lossed) over the last decade. Some methods are orthodox and by the book while others are not. Like many viewers I do not have a garage full of the "right" tools. Improvisation is a must. Any information or techniques can be used at your own risk. Feel free to add info in the comments or reach out to me directly on anything I may have missed or neglected. I am humble and always learning. Thank you. Son

I will be hitting it acid to melt away the aluminum and honing it before sticking a Micrometer in to determine if it needs to be bored to .015 or worst case .03. More to come on this!

Did you replace the seat and retaining clip for the bb ?
god i f***ing hate working on outboards...outboards are poo
Pfffttt I just tore whole trim out and got aluminum plate trim setup
Thank you for your video, I am about to tackle the same issue on an old 350 Mercury outboard. I find frozen bolts in alloy castings can be shocked with a drift punch or a Philip screwdriver to help the penetrating oil to work. Best penetrant is Kroil, thanks again.
Thanks for the helpful video. I have a 76 150 hp merc. Question: I rebuilt my three carbs and put in new orifices and needles as well as floats and adjusted float tangs, etc. Now, when I turn down the needles, it shudders a bit, but I can't kill the motor if I turn it too far. It used to die when I turned it down too far. Problem? I'm not sure all three carbs are equal now. WOT is about 85 percent of what it used to be. 4200 rpm is max instead of 5000. Guesses? Thanks again
J’ai un 175 black Max 76 et j’ai même striper poller a tu une idée qui pourrait m’aider
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Merci beaucoup
Hola saludos esperando que estés muy bien disculpa se consiguen carburadores nuevos de este mismo estilo ? Tengo un mariner 60hp con estos carburadores
Hello everyone I’m looking for a power trim rebuild kit for one of these 1978 mercury 2 strokes and I can’t find one I have the 3/4 ram and the kit number is the quicksilver (64507a1). If some could help that would be great thanks.
I have a 1977 mercury 1500. I can’t find the fuel enriched solenoid valve on it! Where would I find that?
What was the issue with the tell tale? You didn't expand after it started working
My son bought a boat that has an 115 L6 how hot should the water be coming out the drain hole ?
Hi, thanks for your videos where can I found the all kit for mercarbs, I have a 75hp and 1 set of carborayors the flotings it's not good and missed a yet.
Hi son I have a 1150 115 1970 silver block is it possible to add a temp sensor and gages if so where would it be hooked up at thanks I’d like to see an video on that please keep up the good work make em TALK
I spent my summers at my Grandparents cottage, on Pigeon Lake. OMC had a testing/proving facility either on upper Pigeon or on Buckhorn Lake. They would run up and down Pigeon with open, or mild exhaust. You could hear the boats for a long time, before you would see them. That would have been in the mid 60's to mid 70's.
Hi love The videos I have a question I have a mercury 1500 that I shorted the plat the switch box I tested box but it really weak spark you think its switch box
Number please
Halo
Great video, I just cleaned my carbs in an ultra sonic cleaner. I will test soon. I believe I have a trigger issue on mine. You you happen to have a part number on a 1985 merc 115 by chance ?
I need the component that the 2 wires that come from the trigger. Mercury switch? mine is a 1978 model
Damn dude, you're dogging that motor, out of the hole you hammered the throttle and rather than pull back till the prop bit you let it spin at hi rpm, twice. I'm saying this to you because a friend of mine did damage to his Merc 1350 on a hydrostream the same way. The rattle you ignored that was obvious but you just pegged it and eventually the inevitable happened. I had a 115 tower on my '17 cobia that ran real strong. .my next boat was a '19 cuddy with the 90hp tower, a guy I met at a sandbar party had the same boat with a 115hp evinrude and it barely started to pull ahead ever so slowly. He should've pulled away quicker with the xtra 25hp but didn't. I'm only running my mouth here as those motors were built to give superior power and durability. Your motor was king at the time and I was surprised you blew it up. Did you ever rebuild it?? Mercury always underrated their motors so you had more than 150hp in that thing. Let me know if you rebuilt it and how it ran, the 1500 was always cranky till it was properly dialed in.
i need to do the same thing to mine... this will be my first time ever lol... i might need a number to call for questions lol thanks gentlemen!
Great video. Just waiting on a different meter as we just tested our trigger and we are getting 450ohms on all 3. We only have spark at cylinder 4 (follows to a different cylinder if i move the coil input wire
I have the same engine 1978 4700000 s/n range Is there a thermostat hidden away? I heard they did away with them in 78?
Could it be the on off switch or the kill switch, just curious?
Would this rebuild kit work on a 1995 Mercury 25hp? Also, any idea what size where to get a new carb needle for carb? Mine is super gunky. Thanks for the video.
Hi where are you located, what city and state.
Hey got a ? On my 115 1988 inline six just replaced stator trigger boards and rebuilt carbs idle seems to be a lot higher than before repair any assistance would be great
you must have been a kamakaze pilot in another life.
these were the last cool mercurys when theywent to v twins they lost it they will not turn the revs and scream like these beasts would
I have an 86 mercury 60hp idles 2000 rpm after siting for a month any ideas what could be wrong .? I use seafood everything I add gas .
Enlarge main jet on second carb back timing off q few degrees. I built so so many . Change reed valves out with boysen fiberglass reeds. Often water pressure is lost central cylinder number 3 get hot also. I ran 40:1 klotz.
Way overpowered. The chine-walking is inherent with V-hull boats, and the only thing that will stop it is trim tabs, which may cause it to run slower despite running full power. Either slow down or try the tabs - it's too dangerous as it exists, unless you like taking risks for no reason.
Great video
Can you do a video on how to bleed the hydraulic lines on this exact trim plz
U are a life saver. Thanks for posting these videos
Wish you could've included more detail on HOW you were making certain adjustments. When you say "going to increase the idle" but don't show how you do it, it's not very helpful to those of us who have no idea how to increase the idle speed, thanks anyways.
I’ve been looking for a straightforward explanation on how to test these for 2 days. Thanks for making it easy to understand.
Does taking out and changing the stator mess up the timing? Also, can timing get thrown off somehow without someone directly messing with it?
Sweet. What did you end up getting her up too?
I'm by no means a mechanic. However, I cringed when you used the screw driver as a wedge to release the exhaust cover. Not that I haven't done the same many times just gotta be gentle. I had a project a few years ago and happened to find some plastic wedges of assorted sizes for a different application but just recognized it's potential benefit for your app. Anyway, check it out, be perfect for that and will be kind and gentle to the aluminum. I have really enjoyed your videos as a Tower of Power believer! Signed, care taker of Dad's 1986, 16.5' Blazer with the 86', 90HP Merc, TURNED UP W/21" SS doin the choppin!
L6 Sound is heart warming! 😂
I need help, I have questions about the power trim How do I get in touch with you?
😂 me too!
I need to rebuild mine but can’t find the kit.
I''ve been considering building a 19' flats hull and putting a 150 I6 on it. Found a used project motor today (78' 1500xs). I fell in love with the inline 6 motors when my dad bought a brand new 16.5' Blazer bass boat with a 90hp back in 86. He's gone now and I have the boat and the memories. Motor still runs like a sewing machine to this day. The whole time watching your video I was dreading the "rattle". Hope all worked out for you.
I have the exact same trim set up as in this video, but my problem is when the motor is raised all the way up you’ll get locked in the up position and will not lower. If I do not raise up it will go up and down all day long, what is this problem?
What about that gold colored gasket as this guy shows here. Not very good explaination of the gaskets and rubber o ring that come in the package with the thermostat kit ruclips.net/user/shortsXdhuFcNFCIM?si=6vcHEha9bThJKvtk
Well I mean it didn't start, I have a motor that cranks over and doesn't start, how do you know it worked if it doesn't start ?
Electric fuel pump low pressure a must . Or lean out melt pistons #2. Built so many of these. Water pressure gage and center steering Boysen fiberglass reed valves also . Seized...Prob number 2 piston stuck . Common
RPMs kill.
How much to do my engine the same one
need help with my 1985 115 hp
