Mercury "Tower of Power" 115hp Impeller change.

An impeller swap it a must on any outboard if you want it to last. Not that hard to do. Just take your time. We swapped it out on a 1986 Tower of Power Mercury. I feel a lot better knowing that it will stay cool.

About to do the impeller on my Tower of Power 115 this week. Just picked the boat up 2 weeks ago so 🤞🏻 everything goes well and solves my no water out of the telltale issue

[@5LakesGarage]

it should. it is not that bad as long as the other mechanics used grease or something to keep the corrosion down. It should be fine. Good luck. We just love the Tower of Power. it just works. good luck

Where did you get the rebuild kit from?

[@5LakesGarage]

I get a lot of stuff from this place www.crowleymarine.com/parts.html they have really good diagrams. Some of the parts can be on back order. Good luck

Thanks for this vid i just aquired a 1979 90hp 6cyl and i dont see a oil dipstick?am i missing something?thanks anyway for the vids!

Sorry for the delay. I was in the woods with the scouts and did not have fancy internet. :) These engines are 2 cycle so the oil is in the fuel. Most of these outboards come with an automatic oiler. Mine has been taken out so I mix it with the gas when I fill it. Now you do need to be aware of the lower unit oil level. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaDInKVtnb2cZ8ksi=PAB9DSwSoHq3LhAu

How did you manually put your lower unit in gear?

[@5LakesGarage]

The shifter rod. I think it was a pull up to engage it. It might be a push. can't remember. Ideally, I should have put it in gear before i took it off. Hope that helps.

[@kenjrdn]

Are you doing any thru hall fittings

[@5LakesGarage]

i have a few coming up when i have time. I plan on installing a fish finder on a Carolina Skiff in which we have to mount the transceiver and run the wire. And i really don't want too but might have to do some repair on the transom on the Blue Goose. It is almost 50 years old. Stay Tuned.
