Can a 65 horse mercury marine engine be pulll started if it has a dead battery?

Rick Ostler — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 05:00:18 +0000

Just in case I get stuck out in the middle of lake Erie with a dead battery

yes.you have to remove the cover. also check battery connections. its also a good idea to buy a portable type battery pack. they are low in cost and come with jumper cables and an outlet for cigarette type plugs. get one with enough amperage to start your bmotor.

How much is a rebuilt 1990 Mercury 60 HP ELPTO worth?

Rick Ostler — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 18:17:07 +0000

My mechanic convinced me to buy a 1991 Mercury 60 HP long shaft ELPTO for my 24ft pontoon that he had in his shop and wanted to rebuild. He found out it was really a 1990 when he tried to get a rebuilt head but no one rebuilds them anymore. I paid him for parts up front, so he didn’t want to back out on the deal. Only the bottom cylinder was badly damaged and he did get a piston from Mercury. After 3 weeks of waiting, he got the head ground down and said it looks great. Then he found a hair-line crack in a valve and needed a few other not-available parts which have taken another couple of weeks to find, plus more and more and more excuses. I’m in Minnesota, so the season ended last week. I agreed to buy the motor way back back on Aug 26th with his estimate that it would take about 1-2 weeks. I still have no motor. Today is October 13 and my boat should be in storage by now. How much should I have paid him for this motor and do I have grounds to demand my money back?
