Hello all! It?s been a while since I?ve been on here. Last summer started sea trials and had problems with my 115 hp Merc. Every time I would take off , just as it come up on step, the engine would keep cutting out . Long story short, no one could figure it out. Finally looking at some pictures of the engine, it hit me ! It was the mercury switch!!! The way it was set up, it was almost horizontal when it needed to be vertical, s just as it came up on step, it shut off the engine!!! It is not on the anymore! Lol Since then I have put about 2 hrs on her and she runs great ! Here are some pictures of her in the lake last week. It?s hard to believe I have owned this boat for 48 years now! Bought her new in July of 1974! If you?re wondering what I payed for it, $4500.00 out the door! Boat, motor and trailer.
