1961 mercury 800 dr on sunlounger 155
i was wondering i just came across a 61 merc 800 and was wondering if that is too much for my 155. and does anyone know anything about this motor?
www.aomci.org is a good place to learn about vintage outboard motors. The "DR" is nicknamed the "dockbuster." There is NO neutral. You start her in gear - so you better be pointed in the right direction. To go from forward to reverse you shut the motor off, flip a switch, throw her into reverse and restart the motor. Hopefully she starts!
Not sure what year boat you have. The 1963 Sunlounger XL150 was rated for up to 85 HP. The 1964 Sunlounger XL155 was rated for up to 90 HP. Same for the 1965 model year. In 1966 she became the Sport-V and was still rated for 90 HP.
Hope this helps.
