Hi,<br /><br />I had that motor and the worst motor that I have had in my life was...I had a 1150 1976 and it was the worst engine of my life...<br />Seized piston many times...<br />Problems with carbs, lower unit, rectifier, merc control, etc,etc,etc...<br />I´ll never buy a Merc 6 inline again. Only V6...<br />Thanks<br /><br />Carlos

carlos, my man, if you think that a inline 6 merc is a terrible motor, you must be drinking. <br /><br />these motors dont take care of them selves. they require input in the form of maintenance and tuning from the owner... YOU.<br /><br />if they were so bad, why did merc make them all the way up to 1988 from the 50's?
