      Finally got my hands on a Merc O Tronic. For the experts what are you using to replace the 7.5v battery. Should I just put say 6 d cells in a series?

      I am going to rewire the leads, anything I should watch for in the guts that tend to fail? If so what are you replacing the with?

        Get a 7.2 volt battery and charger from a remote control toy car boat. never have to replace again. cost $25.00 and up get the best you can afford.

          Like Dave said. The dry cells would not have enough amperage to run the coil driver.

          Which model Merc-O-Tronic?

            I used a 7.5 volt power supply to replace the battery in my 98.

                power supply works IF you have 120v near by. that is why I use rechargeable battery supply.
