Awesome old outboard, brings me back to the times I was a wee lad just infatuated by boats and motors....Mercury, Johnson, Evinrude, Chrysler, Bearcat (Homelite 4 stroke), Scott Atwater, they all were awesome in my book.
Always loved the look of those early 70S Chryslers and im an Evinrude johnson guy! Nice motor white and gold narrow cowlings they had great designers back then..
The 105 was certainly among the best of the Chrysler outboards. Recall what OMC had in this HP range in the late 1960's when this motor was already out. "Golden Meteor" or "Starfllite," anyone? No power trim system available, only "power tilt." Same lower unit with puny prop they'd been using on their 75/80 HP V4's. A shaky gas guzzler. Heavy AF.
LOL 😂 A local guy (admittedly a Merc dealer 😏) back when I was a kid called the OMC's "barge motors" ☺️ He said, "You know why we call them that, don't ya? Because it takes a barge to haul the fuel they use!" 😋 I could never understand why OMC made the 1960's V4s' cowls about twice as big as they needed to be...?
@@woofwgn Because the pre 1968 V8 used a Distributor that stuck out far behind the back of the Block. In 68 they started with the distributor under the Flywheel, and in 69 the V4s got a Complete Makeover
The 1969 Starflite was way ahead of it's time, their design set the standard for the next 30 plus years. Those V4s set the world speed record several times too I should mention...
I have to say I never thought I'd see that boat again. If I'm right the boat is a 1972 mainstream bass boat. I think this is my old boat. I had a lot of good times fishing from it.
Paul Alejandro you are correct it is a mainstream. I had to sell the boat and motor separate because of the horsepower rating on the boat. However both went to a good home. It was a fun project.
thats the same year and hp i got, glad your tilt still works, ive had to replace the starter and the water pump fins and there a pain getting the carbs in sinc but when there running right they run great
In about 1966 time frame I thought these motors seemed so massive. They truly looked like the Tower of Power motor on the back of a boat. They also glistened on the lake with that Pretty White An Gold.
@@delorispoindexter5663.< The 140 Chrysler came out around 1978 and the In line 6 Mercs (Tower of Power) a 140 1972. Chrysler were not know for speed or reliability.
That's why ya cant find parts or complete motors anymore . Only about 30% survived the first 5 yrs .The rest detonated No # 1 cyl from heat ,Block problem on most. If conditions weren't perfect they would blow Not a good design and really not a good outboard all together. But some people had luck with them.
And every 1 was sooo happy to own a 17footer with a Chrysler on the back...not like in 2020..where every 1 owns a 40footer with 4 outboards n they hate life
A strange thing to say, but I think there is something religious about the looks of those Chryslers. Imagine one of these with a cross logo in the front
Foam attached to the engine cover would come apart, inhaled into the carbs. Get rid of the foam. I had a 115, no one could work on it under warranty. Lost my butt trying to sell my rig.
I used to own that boat, had it in the shop for electrical issues at one time. the compression was good for the age of the boat and the only oil consumption was the mix ratio. if I could, I'd buy the boat back. the motor isn't tired. it moved that boat at 45 mph when I owned it....
ive rebuilt a few of those motors,t eh main issues with them was parts super hard to find & also the exhaust plate under the power head use to rot away & you would loose water pressure & over heat.
I have a 1977 - 135 HP and it's the same sound... recently complete overhauled and painted (with only 8 hours). (in my opinion) it's a great motor... :D
Funny how the chrysler's all sound similar. I grew up with a 45hp chrysler, a 1969 (IIRC) and it was run very hard for 20 years. My much older brothers were in their early 20's with our little 14" runabout it would pull two skiers. Anyone who thinks this has a knocking rod is wrong. At the very end our engine did knock and toss a rod and it was one heck of a noise. I was young and dumb at the time and wanted a bigger motor (whole new boat) so I let it blow.
When I was in Jr High through high school I lived on a lake in MN and did about every odd job there was for income, cleaning beaches mowing putting docks in and out along with lifts and our family always had a few boats Lots of Johnson evinrudes and one Merc, I did all the maintenance on the outboards and I did a lot of maintenance on other peoples motors also Johnson/Evinrude were my bread and butter, then came Mercury I even got to work on some really different ones like a Scott Atwater it was like a 7 HP I got a 1924 Johnson that hadnt run in 40 years running like a top had to overhaul the carb (making all new gaskets) and going through plugs and wires and all associated ignition parts that was a lot of fun. We had a few Chrysler engines on out lake and I worked a lot on a 30 hp one a lot meaning I would get the carb set and it would idle and run as its should and the next week I could do it all over again. The other one I worked on was around 75 hp and exactly the same thing after about 3 or 4 trips to each of them for free I told the owners that there are some carb issues here that sure seem to be design related because they would not hold a tune for more than a week at tops. After that I would not work on Chrysler outboards of any size, I just did not care for those engines!
Beautiful motor with iconic 1970's styling. These Chryslers had a great power trim system at a time when Merc and OMC didn't. Merc's system had those ugly, hard-to-rig hoses going into the boat with the inboard pump. OMC had, well, crap at first then a half-decent system but still with two cylinders going up and down, not in and out. The Chrysler system was simple and powerful and engineered to PUSH the motor back in the trim mode. It actually took the other manufacturers a while to catch up; OMC in '79 and Merc not until the mid 1980's!
Russ Gallagher I just bought a boat with a 100hp Chrysler motor on it. Seems to run like a charm but it's obviously very old, I'm just wondering if I can rely on it :/
@Russ Gallagher thanks for the response and advice. I haven't compression tested her yet but I took her out for some sea trials. I don't think the boat has seen water for about 10 years but it's amazing how well she runs. Starts with a flick of the key, idles smoothly and quietly and pumps plenty of water. It gets up and goes really well and frankly, it surprised me. I bought the boat thinking I'd have to replace the motor but now I'm not so sure. Only thing I don't like is the fuel consumption. Wow, she likes a drink!
@Russ Gallagher is there some way I can find out what year it is? The boat is a 1970 Hartley and I assumed this was the original motor but who knows...
@Russ Gallagher it's not so much the cost that bothers me, more the limited range. I like to go 10 or 12km off shore and troll for tuna. I'd have to carry well over 100 litres of fuel to be able to do that. My last boat had an injected 115 Suzuki on it and by comparison the old Chrysler is a gas guzzler :/
They had this comparison between an Evinrude 2 stroke adnd a Honda 4 stroke of the same size / output. The test was towing a weight on a small barge/. The Evinrude easily got itgoing and got the boat nicely planing. The honda equipped boat strugged. It just didn't have the instant "oomph"of power to get itself up on plane. It could hardly do 5 knots with the barge and was in a terrible attitude, almost taking on water. This was like 15 years ago when 4 strokes were a new thing, they donated and gave ultra low prices to yacht clubs ,river patrol and sea scouts for rescue boats and I had rescue boat duty once from my yacht club with a boat so equipped. They were quiet, I'll give them that, but powerhouses they were not.
@@shoominati23 The new 4-strokes are beasts. Well most are anyway. The problem back then was they were trying to squeeze too much out of too small of displacement. I was told that after running one of the new 4-strokes I'd want to throw rocks at the modern 2-strokes (Mercury Optimax, Yamaha HPDI, etc). They were right! And because of what recently happened with BRP dropping the Evinrude brand I wouldn't own a boat with one unless they threw the motor in for free. There's a Mercury dealer on every corner and a Yamaha dealer on every other corner so no problems finding someone to work on them if needed. 4-strokes have their own set of issues but as long as you run them right and make sure you break them in right so the rings seal up correctly they'll last way longer than a 2-stroke. All that said I do miss seeing the bigger vintage motors on the water. I've probably seen one Chrysler in the past 10 years and a handful of U.S. Marine Force motors. Even the old reliable 2.5 Mercury EFI V6 is slowly becoming less and less common. My 2.5 litre Mercury blew a hole in the side of the block when it blew up, lol. My friend made good use of it as a parts motor for his EFI, lol.
I had a 1973 ss85 hp merc on a 16ft. Orlando Clipper and pulled 5 skiers no problemand the same boat had a 60hp ss and pulled 4 skiers no problem good times
HAD THAT SAME ENGINE FOR 7 YRS NOW MINES A 71 NO PWR TRM. RUNS REAL GOOD. HAD TO REPLACE CLUTCH DOG BOUT 2 YRS BACK BUT, I USE IT ALOT EVER HAD ANY ISSUES W HER?
I recently obtained a 1969 courier 229, saddened it dis not have original 2stroke v4 but has a 70’something merc 90 tower of power on it :D its a blast
I had a 1972 120hp I got from ACTION MARINE in stockton calif. More power than needed. These were really great motors and made to run and easy to maintain. The 120, 135 and 150 were all the same engine, but with different carbs. They rated the h.p. At the prop, not at the crankshaft, so in reality there was more power than listed.
Lots factors on the 85 Mercury, size boat, prop, load, operator etc. The end of the day the smaller Merc will out perform the larger Chrysler 105. I have seen it. Just saying.
I recently bought an 18ft 1970 Hartley glass over ply boat and she's a beauty. Hasn't been used much for a while cause the original owner passed away. It has a Chrysler 100hp motor on it that I'm trying to find out more info about. I've taken her for a run and it seems to run great but as I don't really know the history, I'm unsure if I can rely one it. Can anyone suggest some maintenance items I can take care of to give me some piece of mind?
I’m building a 1983 ebbtide dyna trak 16’ with a Chrysler 105 (actually badged as 90 charger) and I’m curious as to what top speed I could expect. Anyone want to take an educated guess?
Hi there 😊 Great video I have recently bought a Chrysler 30hp But can't find the parts to make it fully auto like yours Would be greatful if you could steer me in the right direction ,I'm in the uk Many thanks Spencer
I can't believe how well that runs for it's age, take care of it - and it'll take care of you. Did you rebuild it yourself? was it much trouble?

@@melanthony2064< In the 70’s and early 80’s, Chrysler outboards had one advantage only, they were cheaper than all other makes. For the most part they were unreliable, gas hogs, and slower than other makes for the same HP.
@@bowb2 Parts are out there and tons on E Bay. Get a parts book and look up the part # on E Bay. Look for Big Rich's outboard parts on E Bay. He has a ton of Chrysler parts.
I don't think it's anything they all pretty much have that sound to them with these old Chryslers... My 135 has the same sound yet nothing wrong with it...
Dead wrong. I can show you many EARLY Chrysler 75's and 85's that still run. Given the choice between a '72 Chrysler 85 and an OMC 85 of the same vintage I'm taking the Chrysler. Both have about the same displacement. As for the Merc that power trim system on the early ones is a joke and I'm sick of trying to work on anything that's buried in all that shrouding. Why did they have to bury the bottom cylinder an spark plug below the cowl pan? Idiots!
Worse motor I ever had .I got a merc and never looked back again.bad gas milage also I had so many problems and parts are hard to get and cost way too much .uncle had one 40 years ago it ran ok but used way too much gas.i would not recommend any one get one of these.

@@melanthony2064< In the 70’s and early 80’s, Chrysler outboards had one advantage only, they were cheaper than all other makes. For the most part they were unreliable, gas hogs, and slower than other makes for the same HP.
This engine is amazing. What's the engine?
Sweet
What a Beast! :D
What tilt and trim kit do you have or did you have on the 105? I am asking because i have the same motor and would like to install one. Thanks
hey i have an 85 chrysler and the power trim is real weak. is yours like that?
Dang! I remember!!
Michael (or anyone) have you found a source for a replacement distributor cap and rotor for the Chrysler 105?
William did you ever get an answer? I cannot find parts for these old chryslers

@@bowb2 Parts are out there and tons on E Bay. Get a parts book and look up the part # on E Bay. Look for Big Rich's outboard parts on E Bay. He has a ton of Chrysler parts.
For Tony
Are these motors 2 strokes or 4 strokes ?
I don't think it's anything they all pretty much have that sound to them with these old Chryslers... My 135 has the same sound yet nothing wrong with it...
can't figure out how to send you a msg- what state are you in and waht is asking price?
still handles on the mounts, lol
Is the motor a 2 stroke?
150 six had flywheel shear off at 5000rpm...watch out Johnny!!!
I had a 75 and 120 hp Chrysler...total "pieces of shit."
At lower speeds it sounds like a worn wrist pin is ready to puke.
Chryslers were up overrated. Mercs. Underrated. O.m.c. rite on . that why chryslers were considered slow!
There lower units were inefficient and limited top speed until about 1977 and Chrysler cleaned them up. They still fell behind Merc and OMC.
I don´t like that knocking sound....
you never did give your top end speed you reached
If there was ever a worse outboard than a Chrysler it should be a crime punishable by death.
Dead wrong. I can show you many EARLY Chrysler 75's and 85's that still run. Given the choice between a '72 Chrysler 85 and an OMC 85 of the same vintage I'm taking the Chrysler. Both have about the same displacement. As for the Merc that power trim system on the early ones is a joke and I'm sick of trying to work on anything that's buried in all that shrouding. Why did they have to bury the bottom cylinder an spark plug below the cowl pan? Idiots!
There was. It was called mercury
They were garbage
