What year is the motor?
My deck boat has a 115 hp Merc and that is what I was told to use. A pain in the butt to get it in. We have a squirt oil can with a flex tube to put it in.
its a 1997Quote:

Iv got a sticker on mine that says up.........just called the local shop and they want me to take it to them....Ha!Quote:

Motor up. Bleeding depends on what motor you have.Quote:
