Hi there,
I bought myself a 14ft Fletcher last year, which came fitted with a 14hp Volvo Penta - It works well, but is simply too slow!
After waiting patiently for a bigger outboard to come up for sale, a 50hp Mercury appeared last weekend, with remotes, although minus a propeller. Got it for a VERY good price.
It does run - and impeller etc is working fine, just need a propeller for it. Although it looks like something else may be missing? I have attached several photos of the engine;
Anything apart from prop missing?
Also trying to figure out what this cable is for, managed to work out throttle, gearchange etc, but unsure on this one:
Shot of the carbs:
Im a total novice when it comes to outboards really, so any advice on it would be great.
Serial number is 9341198 - Can anyone tell me the year?
Thanks
