The thing I love about the Merc 1150 TOP engines are they are so skinny that you can mount two of them side by side in almost the same space that you would use for a 200 JohnnyRude or Yammy...plus since the tilt pump and reservoir are inside the boat there's even less clutter on the outside of the transom. I actually have one sitting in my yard from a boat that I scrapped...much like yours it sat forever.. took a little coaxing at first to get her fired up, but just got better and better from there. Pretty sure I have a new set of hydraulic hoses for it also.. Plus controls... Some day I'll find a sweet little Whaler or a 17 Wellcraft CC to mount her on.

sooooooo how bout some ideas folks... What should I put in two holes in the interior of the bow....6.5" square and 6" deep possible
P/O said there were speakers there and I guess I COULD cut out the holes bigger for 6x9's but there are already cutouts for 6x9" in the console and that's more than enough for me. I spose I could glass em over too... A sink of some sort would be nice but I don't know of anything that would fit. Brainstorm time :D jjj 351.jpg

Here's a shot of the trim pump.... it was a MAJOR pain... after getting it mounted I had to lay on my back with my head under the splashwell and hook up the 4 hydraulic lines completely by feel with my shoulder in a bind and my hand going numb..... UGH

Thats a idea, a pair of inlines on the back of a V, that would look cool. BTW, check with CDI, they have new wire harnesses for older engines

Pair, Inlines, Yes..
SSI makes some nice inset pieces for drink holders and such. Maybe not such a good spot for drink holders. 8" Pioneers are good speakers. If the picture of the harness is the new one, you win the sarchasm award for the week.

Yeah I actually found a site last night with some cool stuff..... I'll look at ssi too..... nah that's the old harness... the new one had an inspection sticker from 1998 but I suspect that it was NOS just installed very recently when they were trying to diagnose the no spark condition

Well today I've done a bunch of grinding..... I now have the top of the transom closed up and waterproof. ...... I need to figure out something to cap it with at some point to make it look nice but at least it's not gonna rot now. I also patched the old engine mount holes..... she'll almost float now!
jjj 010.jpgjjj 011.jpg still need a couple more coats of filled epoxy and some sanding....

It's a good feeling to have an unknown motor run that well and push you across the water like that!!...glad to hear she runnin' that good...now your task is to get everything you need installed and ready to fish...and consider weight on everything you do...try to keep as much weight down as you can...it'll help the 115 keep the zip...
