Location: minocqua, wi. | i bought a boat with the mercury 115hp 2+2 last year and right away not knowing what it was doing i thought there was something wrong with it. when you come from idle (2 cylinders running) to plane (higer rpm's kick in the 3rd and 4th cylinder) there is a transition that is let's just say different (not necessarily bad different, but different) for lack of another word and then when you back off you'll hear a ticking which has to do with dropping 2 of the cylinders. at first i thought there was something wrong and then once someone explained to me what was going on i understood ... once i got used to the motor, i've not had any concerns or issues with running it, but it is different than a standard 4-cylinder operation. |
