Default Merc 40 info

If it is a '95, it is a four-banger.

It's the same engine Yamaha used to "brand" and sell as its own.

West Marine has a service manual for it for under $40:

I don't know anything about the engine's "innards." I would change the
impeller just for the hell of it, and the plugs, and make sure the oil
injection was working properly.

Have fun.


Thanks. I have so much enjoyed owning boats at different times in my life.
I had a recent windfall, and decided to put a wanted ad on craigslist. A
guy called, and he just wanted it out of his garage. It has clear paper,
and he wanted $1500. I paused about two seconds and said okay.

Gonna send off for the manual, and wait for that before I fire it up again.
The grandboys are gonna love it, and I'm going to also. It's a deep vee
with flat floors and a good layout.

I didn't think to ask. Maybe there's a manual in one of the lockers.
Anyway, I'll know Friday.

Steve
