    4 Stroke vs. 2 Stroke - worth the $$?

    I am looking at a couple new pontoons and have two priced to me. One has a 2005 50 HP Merc 4 stroke ( bigfoot) and the other a 2004 50hp Merc 2 stroke. Boats are about the same with $1800 more for the 4 stroke. Worth it?

    78 Merc 900 - trash it?

    I burnt a cylinder in my Merc 900 (90 hp). Dealer says it is probably not worth repairing. Is that consensus? I was offered $50 for it from a "junk" dealer. It has all the old controls and is very tough to replace the motor on this boat. Expert thoughts on my predicament?

    I have a 900 Merc. (1978 I think, can't find a way to confirm)That I can't figure out the way to hook on to the tilt pin without physically muscling the motor into a hole position. There is a clamp that will let it to tilt away if it strikes something but no way to just tilt it into position...

    Old Mercury 900 Outboard - Fuel Mix

    I just purchased a tri-hull with a late 1970s Mercury 900 motor. Were the outboards from that era a 50-1 fuel ratio? It purrs like a kitten and I want to be sure the next tank of fuel is mixed correctly. I have a manual ordered but I'm getting anxious to float it. <br />Thanks
