I have a 1979 Mercury 80 HP. I purchased the manual for it on CD but still cannot find where the proper fuel to oil ratio is or what oil is used...
This is where I currently am on the project. Completing hull and then fiberglassing.
Well i have to back up a bit. Frame 4 is wrong. I had to pull it today and will have to rebuild it. The angle on the keel cut was wrong.
