I have a 1996 15HP Mercury that I'm having some issues with. Every place I've called has said either the motor is too old or they don't work on manual start motors (pull start). Anyone know a mechanic in the Lake Fork or Tyler areas? The motor is leaking water into the foot and I need someone to figure out why or how.

We can fix issue PM me and let know

Are you located in Wylie? That's a bit of a haul, but possible.

Give Joe Mauldin a call at (903) 668-2022.
He is located between Longview and Hallsville off of Highway 80 at 504 Lansing Switch Road, Longview, TX 75602. I have used him with good luck in the past.
I am also getting another persons name and phone number from a fishing friend of mine.
Both of these guys work on older model Mercury outboards.

Great, thanks! If you find the other person's name, please send it on!

Have you tried S2 Marine in Quitman?

Give Rod Silmon with Silmon's Marine a call. He is out of Jacksonville TX.

I am pretty sure I tried S2 Marine. I will give Salmon's Marine a call, thanks!

Sent you a PM. Hope one of the guys gets you fixed up.

We're a little down the road from Tyler but not too far and will work on a motor that age and vintage. My only warning to people with smaller, older motors like that is just simply that it's easy to outspend the motors value, so call ahead and try to give us an idea what it's doing so we can at least try to give you an idea what can of worms you could be opening.
