Rebuild Merc outboard

[linweir]

What is right price to rebuild 4 cylinder Merc 115 HP (2 stroke V4). After inspecting, compression of 2 cylinders are low. Cylinders and pistons are fine. Rings are badly worn. I dont inde to rebuild 4 cylinders together. Wonder what right price is?

I'm not a marine mechanic, I've been around outboards most of my life though, and I'm not a big fan of the older merc 2 strokes, you don't give us much details though (what year it is, how much use) maybe it's not worth rebuilding

heres a start for you...

since i have been down this road

 

price starts at $500 per cylinder.

If you are going to open the motor up... you do all four! Pointless only doing two cylinders.

Exaxtly I had my 60 3 cyl Johnson rebuilt and it was 1500 dollars that was 8 years ago, but 500.00 per cylinder would be a starting point, also as Wayne mentioned, motor is open you should do the other 2 as well, providing the motor is worth the 2000 plus 2 rebuild, furthermore make sure you premix yourself, to make sure your getting the proper lubrication

First of all, are you mechanically inclined? The parts aren't that expensive but it is a lot of labour. Whatever you do, don't just scrap it, if you are going to get rid of it, I would love to have it so I can use it to teach one of my apprentices.

It may be worth to look into a power head that's already rebuilt?
