Guess I should have mentioned that all of my mercmonitor purchases came from European Marine and came with a high level of support. This is not a commercial but an endorsement of great customer...
I just completed my 3rd mercmonitor installation. This time interfacing with a 115 four stroke (2B184695). On this latest install, I took advantage of having the NEMA2000 gateway capability and...
Ok thanks Don. Seems pretty straight forward. I haven't had a chance to pull the cowling to locate that plug yet. There is a pretty good water flow diagram in the service manual, but I can't...

I am about to order a Level 1 MercMonitor from Rhonda and will also be installing the water pressure sensor. I have the Mercury Service Manual so have good reference material...
Don just got the PM. Wow don't know what to do with that info. But really appreciate you letting me know!!
Regarding the subject matter of this forum topic, just got my boat out of the water...
Got it Don. Thanks. Your reply makes sense to me. Will check all this and take appropriate action after I get my boat out of the water and back to my shop. Sure will be disappointed if there is...
Mercury 115 hp 4 stroke

installed on Suntracker Fishing Barge
Found my gas cap off and suspect it was off since last fuel up. Suspect I ran the boat at least a couple hours with with...
Excellent information shared in this thread. I'm currently breaking in a 115 4 stroke CT and definitely plan to meet the 20 hour service requirement. I love this motor and the smooth controls so far,...
I have been back on the road again this week and have plans for this weekend, so will loose some more time to make progress. Will update when I get a chance to work on it again. The water is really...
Thanks for the feedback. The color was actually lighter than the sample that was shipped to me. But I really like it now that I am seeing what it looks like in my boat. I am concerned about keeping...
I owned a 350V that was an 1989 model for 11 years and sold it in 2011 so I could get my bucket list boat. I did a lot of work to the 350V including fixing a rotted floor, recarpet and several other...
I have a profesional automotive painting background from many years ago and am interested in this topic also. But don't have any value added input to offer.
I owned that exact same boat and motor combination for 11 years. The boat had a jack plate installed when I bought it (used). My transom developed a significant crack and I always wondered if the...
I just ordered 24 oz carpet for my Triton at marinecarpeting.com. They had a good selection, was competively priced and shipped it the next after after I ordered it. I researched many different...
I used to own a 350V with the exact same motor. I did a lot of restoration work on that boat including repairing the "soft" floor. I sure think its cool that you want to spend some quality time...
I have repaired fiberglass multiple times over the years. Both boats and aircraft. I wouldn't try this project unless you have significant experience working fiberglass. There are many corners you...
Back at it. Carpet arrived last week while I was away on business. The material that I ordered was 24 oz marine carpet on a 12 ft roll.

I used to paint cars professionally many years ago. We would always use heat to remove decals. I remember removing a trans am bird decal on the hood off the hood of a late 70s vintage Trans Am. Now...
Very nice job! I had a Ranger 350V for years and did a lot to it to make it look nicer, but never addressed the faded and outdated dash. Wished I would have. I am really impressed. The steering wheel...
About to be away on business travel all next week, so hopefully my carpet will arrive while I am gone. Hoping to be cutting and glueing carpet next weekend. This is when the job gets fun. All the...
Failure Mode - consisted of two factors... 1) too much Bud Light and 2) and me being a dumba$$ and not paying attention
Effects - doesnt match rest of carpet; ugly; embarrassing; humiliating...
Yes great point. My carpet is on order and I plan to mark arrows on the backside of the carpet also. I have so many seperate dry storage compartments to lay carpet on and want to eliminate any...
In order to reduce the possibility to screw up which way the carpet should be running on the compartment covers of my Triton carpet project, after I cleaned the glue off, I put the covers back in...
KBush, thanks for the feedback. The weight / color / place to buy took me a lot of time to sort out. I actually posted a seperate thread a few days ago on this board. I stated my desire for 24 oz...
