Selling a beautiful 1957 Mercury Mark 75 short shaft outboard motor. This motor was restored 4 years ago and has been in service since then. I bought two old Mercury motors off a guy here in WI who restores old wooden boats.  He had an ad posted on CL for two restored Mercury Mark 55 outboards. When I got there he also said he had an Mark 75 and if I bought the Mark 75 he would put the Mark 55 in its place on his Cruisers Inc boat. So I bought one Mark 55 and a Mark 75 and figured we would decide which one we wanted to use on my Fathers boat. We went with the Mark 55, so selling off the Mark 75 now. This motor has excellent compression on all 6 cylinders. The powerhead on this motor was NOT restored. He said since it had perfect compression and was in great running condition he seen no reason to open it up. SO all he did to this powerhead was remove it for painting, put new base gasket in when put back on, rebuilt carbs, took mag apart and rebuilt that(said he had a heck of a time finding new parts for it but eventually did), sent starter in to someone had that rebuilt, all new plugs and wires, and he said he put a new recoil in the motor, old one was sticky. Now as far as restoration of motor, he removed all nuts and bolts and all components,  soda blasted all the paint off right down to bare metal off all the individual parts. He then ordered the right paints as original and the correct primer(zinc Oxide), primed all the parts , and then painted all the parts and then reassembled. Oh yea, he said he tore gearcase apart and inspected gears, totally cleaned inside of gear case and reassembled everything. He said he found a guy who had all new seals and bearings for the lower unit, and an new impeller. So all that was also done 4 years ago. The boat didn't get used much at all, he said it got put in the water two times a year at his cabin. The guy also restored the controls. He took them all apart cleaned everything and lubed it all up with fresh grease. Control box was all repainted with awesome detail, this is one super sharp set of controls!!!! The wire harness for controls is in excellent condition with no deterioration to wires at all, very good condition. This motor starts right up and runs fantastic!!!!!  Selling as is as it is still a used outboard motor.


Payment, NO PAYPAL accepted. I do accept cash at time of pick up, personal check, MO, cashiers check, and bank wire transfer.

Shipping, I can ship this motor to any of the lower 48 states for $175.00, to a business or residential address. If its going to a residential address and you do NOT have a way to unload the motor, I can order you a liftgate delivery service. With liftgate service the truck driver will bring a special truck and unload it for you. This service cost $40 extra on top of the amount of $175 for shipping. You will need to let me know if you need a liftgate service.

Designer insights: highlights of Auto Design Prague 2014

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, might not seem the most obvious choice for an automotive design conference. But when one considers the country's history of innovation in the arts and architecture, its long-lived automotive marques like Tatra and Skoda, and Prague's central location in Europe, it makes perfect sense. Conference speakers included the program design director for Citroën DS, Ivo Groen; Volvo vice president of design Thomas Ingenlath; Jaguar advanced design director, Julian Thomson; Gert Hildebrand, head of design for Qoros; and Johann Lemercier, program manager at Ferrari design.

Ferrari is launching a special pack of paint and trim options on the 599, called the 599 GTB 60F1. It's designed to mark six decades of winning in Formula 1 (not something the scuderia has done much of in 2011). Froilan Gonzalez won Ferrari's first F1 race in the 375 F1 car back in July 1951; 60 years later, Fernando Alonso won Ferrari's first race of the current season in the 150° Italia.

CAR interviews new Renault design chief Laurens van den Acker (2009)

Thu, 15 Oct 2009

By Guy Bird Motor Industry 15 October 2009 10:29 CAR: How did you get the top design job at Renault? LvdA: From what I’ve been told [outgoing design boss] Patrick le Quément was asked to come up with three candidates, two internal and one external, and somehow I bubbled to the top of the external candidates. I think the criteria included international experience, being relatively young and having a good record.
