Re: Mercruiser

That would be my first choice in motors as far as quality and part availability and fixability if there is such a word.Of course if it were in a big boat the size of the motor might not be the 1st choice but the motor itself is a great choice!!!Charlie

Re: Mercruiser

A big consideration is if the boat has always been in freshwater, or if it spent some or all of those hours in saltwater. If salt, then you'll want to consider the type of cooling system.<br /><br />Steve
