Hi all, sorry if this has been covered before, I have a 2006 mercury 10hp 2 stroke op444-- serial , i have a quicksilver airdeck 3.1m which we fish and have fun on around the coast.
I'm bringing the engine out of storage for three years, and thought now is the time to perform the upgrades during this lockdown.
I have purchased a new oe 15hp carb , a 9x10.5 prop (replacing the 9x9 as standard), new full waterpump kit , plugs, hydrofoils, and thermostat.
I have checked the specs and the 15hp has an exhaust tube which the 9.9 and 10hp doesn't have, do I need this perhaps for back pressure? Also does anyone know if there is anything else that needs changing/ modifying?
I hope you all keeping safe during this time,
Kind regards ,
Mark
