Nice!

So...what lube you using in it?

 

[Jelly]

Notice any subtle differences?

None at all.

It's currently in about 50 peices in my garage.

They run surprisingly well without oil.

It seized up once, then restarted, then seized again and I remembered the oil.

It started up again and ran the rest of the day, only to die permanently because of a bad timing belt. Soon it will be good as new...

What did you do to the picture?

timing belt? its a 4stroke?

Those old inline 6 mercs are stong. A buddy of mine had an inline 6 115 Merc on a 17 foot Boston Whaler. That thing was WAAAYYY overpowered, Joe

Just the way I like it.

Mine's on a 16' Glastron.

That 2nd pic got a little color correction (more red/yellow) and maybe a contrast/saturation boost.

That is a sharp looking chromey motor; hope you get it back running.

i rebuilt one of those 115 mercs when i was in high school. if you are ever up for a BIG challenge take that sucker apart, it is alot of work. one thing i remember is that the distributor rotor was $115, so don't drop it off the workbench!
