I have a dependable '98 Merc-Force 120 that runs great and performs surprisingly well on my boat but id love to upgrade to a clean smooth & quiet 4stroke. Ive come across a reasonably priced 2010 4-stroke 115 EFI for sale by dealer. Ive searched for info on this motor and I've found multiple posts about oil-pumps going bad on them.Is that something to watch out for on these? i'm pretty sure this motor is out of warranty by now, so i'd hate to play roulette with $5000.. Ive never bought anything boat-related that was this new so i'd like to hear what you guys recommend?..ask for some sort of warrantee? or just walk way altogether?
also, i have mercury quick-silver controls with my current outboard. would they work with this newer 4-stroke?
i'd appreciate any input!
