I know quads, and two strokes respond very well to minor mods. Does anyone offer mods for 2 stroke mercurys? I have a 98 115 Merc 2 stroke ELPTO with a jet foot on it. Anything i can do to give it some more power? Thanks guys

As for a place to either send or buy your flywheel..

Looks like the can lighten them and balance.. if they don't have one that will work for your application already.

Lil' Blue Rude said:Sorry to say but your not gonna gain 4-5 mph out of those mods. maybe 1-2mph 3 if your lucky. From everything I've seen and read the fly wheel will help you get out hole faster. Hard to gain much with a heavy boat. To get the gains you want you'd need to go into the motor. I'm not even sure if you can gain anything with the inline 6's. Alot of people say they're maxed out and it takes alot of time and$ to get any kind of gain. Pull the pump off and take out the casting flaws that will help some. You might be better off selling this motor and buying another motor that has more potential for mods. Don't think I'm tryin to discourage you, I've just telling you what I think I've gathered from site like S&F
All I have to say is good luck and glad to see I'm not the only nut that wants more speed out of outboard jet. :mrgreen:
PS Chris Carson is one of the best guys I've ever dealt with, just a real stand up guy and I would recommend his products and services to any one.

Im up in the air about what to do.. either sell them both and re-power or try squeeze a cple more mph out of my current.
And yes from what ive read the in-line 115 are spun up to about the max already.. Always fun to tinker though.
LonLB said:Like I mentioned before the problem is the lack of transmission. If not for that you could port heavily, and dealing with the shifted UP powerband wouldn't be that big a deal.
As for the OP, keep in mind, anything you do to the BOAT to gain speed will make you use less fuel as well.
Not sure how jet outboards would react to a jackplate.....Maybe would make no difference. On a propped boat, a hydraulic jackplate, and small trim tabs would get you out of the hole and on plane much faster, and cheaper than engine work. Especially on a heavy boat.
