Any antique boat motor enthusiast here ?
My neighbor gave me this after sitting in his shed the last 20 years and I'd like to get it running again .
It's a 1960-61 merc150 15hp motor
I ordered a service and parts manual on evilbay so that's on the way .
I've never worked on a motor this old and I have read that these motors are quit difficult and very complex to work on and possibly need some specialty tools .
Anyone with experience on these ?
What should I do first ?
Thanks
Ernie
