I suppose you could call this boat a runabout model.
hi there, I've been tinkering with a 1972 80hp merc that I got some time ago that started, but has since failed to. It appears there may be a problem in either the switch, and / or coil. Based on the prices of these old parts it could be pretty pricey if they both need replacing (which I wouldn't doubt). My alternative to just not fixing it, is to get another motor that is newer and in good working condition for a bit more. I'm keeping my eye out on those prices too, but have an important question to consider... Could I use a smaller motor? This old 80hp has powered a 15.5 ft fiberglass boat. But could a newer motor of a smaller HP do an equal or pretty good job? Perhaps a 40hp of a newer vintage? Has anyone had experience changing motor sizes? Chris |
