The 15 super? As far as I know they're only capable of 18hp (Being a Tohatsu 18hp engine) and it's merely a restrictor that needs removing. Haven't done it so take that with a grain of salt

I don't know if it helps russellh but if you 'Google 15 HP Mercury Super' you will find a link to an Ausfish site with a thread on this subject. I think it suggests replacement of the throttle cam on the Mercury turns it into the 18 HP Tohatsu motor cobby mentioned.
