When I bought my boat the 115 Oceanpro had compressions of 124, 125, 125 & 125Originally Posted by dakr123
What I read at the time, I think was that very good compression on a second hand was 110 to 130, but the main thing was that all cylinders should be within 10% of each other.
Shakey - If only I lived near the coast
Had a look at the motor. Compression test looks good. Engine started and sounded ok.
The only thing is the mechanic did the gearcase leak test without draining the gear oil. Asked him to drain but he said 'it doesn't matter'. Any thoughts? Haven't managed to source the manual for this motor yet.
It held 8 psi for more than 10 seconds.
Sample of t the gear oil looks good but may have been recently changed without going in the water.
Not too sure a 10 second pressure "test" means anything, especially if it's still full of oil, also not a fan of "mechanics" who say things like "it doesn't matter"
Thanks Noelm.
FYI video of engine running below. Turn on volume near top right of video

the fact that it has 3 months warranty should be enough piece of mind, provided the boat/motor is used straight away. just check the oil colour a few times before the warranty runs out.
Sounds very much like my two 115 HP Old techs.
Wonderful, bullet proof motors as long as you keep the services up and don't run over a plastic bag and block the water inlets.
Racing scoop water inlets on the legs also boost water for great cooling
Reducing the spring pressure on the thermostats by locking two coils together also enhances cooling
Find an OMC Master Tech and the motor will outlast you.

What could go wrong.......................
Sounds ok looks like a normal running 2 stroke,
If u could get another $1500 u could get a second hand 115hp 4 stroke off the internet and have a reputible mobile mechsnic go over it first
I was looking at old donks and came across this engine, your not on the central coast are a? If thats the same engine i seen for $3850 that is quiet a lot of money
For instance back in 2006 i picked up a Swiftcraft 5.6m hull desd soild no rot, it had a 140hp evinrude 1994 model on it in good running condition with asmall trailer for $4000
