Just thought I’d post some of many pictures we took at the recent Neyland trip last week, a great time was had by all who attended and the weather was fairly kind to us, a very special thank you to the hospitality of the team at Neyland Marina who made us so welcome, not forgetting to show our appre...

It comes to my attention that after my technicians had a “ chat” with Mercury on the phone, it comes to pass that the original switch box ( CDI unit) has a black compound material as opposed to the clear silicone of those built in China (therefore seeing all the components, coils etc), apparently, t...

Here’s a head scratcher, my Mercury 80 is firing on multiple cylinders at the same time eg 1&3 , 1&4 ,4&3 etc changed switch box to another brand new one, same thing, change plug leads over so engine technically should not start but it does without banging and backfire etc !!!

Speedy Cables were mentioned by Moonman , I had my cables and clocks supplied by this company, I gave the old ones as patterns and the finished products were superb ! They are not cheap by an...
