Switchbox installs can a bit intimidating given all of the wires and connections involved. It is actually very simple and easy. Every wire is color coded to match the switchbox. I ran into some issues with a brand new Jet Unit stator in this video which prohibited me from making the engine talk! I found an OEM stator to install to correct the diagnosis… Will it talk?! Watch to find out!!!! Thank you! Son

You made that unit "Holla"
You need to have the camera where we can see
Your a blessing Son! I saw your video and I knew it will help me this with my 03 40hp Merc! Stator and trigger will be my next project this spring!
Hi, I just got one of these stators with the same low resistance reading between the blue/white and blue leads. However while reading their troubleshooting documentation in the package, it seems the 2.27ohms I read on mine is well within their 2.2k – 2.4k range specs. They also mention they have added a voltage regulator in the low winding to improve durability. Maybe that is why we see a discrepancy with the OEM's 5.7 – 8 ohm range. I will install it and will let you know of the DVA readings. I am waiting on the trigger to arrive. I love your videos and the family values portrayed on your channel. specially the father daughter video's. Thank you!
Tell me if you have a mechanical shop where I can bring my boat
I need you to repair my motor please let me know if you do that please
I have a Merc 115 HP 2 STROKE 85 MODEL 6198485 WITH CDI AND CARBS ? IS 2 AND 6 Is not firing its the first outboard boat ive ever had just any input would help 😉 plz ?
Please Help. I have an 1989 Johnson 70HP rebuild by Coastline Marine in Florida. The rebuild cost $3180. (rebuild include: bore the 2 bottom cylinders to the next larger size piston. replace the top piston for cylinder 1, rebuild carbs, new thermostat). The guy told me to check the ignition and timing by a mechanic. I have called every marina in Boston area to have them check the timing for me but no one is willing to work on older motor so I have to check the ignition/timing myself. I have watched YouTube videos bought 2 manuals to do the timing/ignition myself. When I check the TDC of the motor, new TDC mark that I've found is 2.5" to the left of the factory TDC. Is this correct ? TDC needs to be correct before I can continue forward. Thanks for your help.
Yes Mercson I am very impressed with your videos I have recommended them to anyone I know that works on Mercs I would like to ask a question I don’t know if this gets you or not I have a 67 four-cylinder 65 minutes with no lower unit if it has good compression is it a motor that’s worth restoring Your opinion would be greatly appreciated thank you. Also very impressed with your respect and relationship with your father.
I bought an old 1976 Bumble bee bass boat as a project. Whats the best website to order parts for it at a good price. Wanna get this little fishing boat going so I can take my elderly Mom fishing she loves her fishing .. It has a Merc 800 80hp with a distributor. Subcribed and learning alot from these videos ..Thanks from Georgia !
Hi!
I have the same engine and have weak spark and it only runs on 3 cylinders.
Can a bad stator make the spark weak even if the resistens is good on blue/blue white, and red/red white?
Allso have new coils and new wireings to the switch box.
It runs uneaven 🙁
Thanks for the videos! They have been really helpfull!
Listening to you start this is like me starting mine, 115 L6… she’s not running now unfortunately, I think my stator is bad but I’m having a hard time finding what the readings should be on that stator…
hey what mercury service repair book do you use ? where you find all the electrical reading and specs for motor ect.?
Learning lots from these video thx dumb question does the wiring harness at the engine just pull apart I have an 82 115 HP I need to replace or repair the internal harness thx for your time
Son – where is your shop located and how can I get ahold of you? I have a 1978 L6 900 that could use a little help. Thanks.
