Hi I have been offered one of these motors for a reasonable price but as I know nothing about Mercury motors I thought I would ask you guys a few questions before I buy it.

Is the mid 70s 18 horse motor a good motor reputation wise?

Is there any major known faults to be wary of?

Is $400US ?200GBP a good price to pay for a running example?

And lastly should cooling water exit via both the pee hole and the exhaust or just the pee hole?

All advice is much appreciated guys:)
