if anyone is interested, I've got a buddy in Charleston that's stepping his customer up from a 250 to a 300 Suzuki. 2024 model, 80 hours, rigging included. 19K, still under warranty, still on the boat.

Destroyer, I disconnected the oil injection system on my 150 mercury but I have to mix the oil and gas you say you disconnected the oil injection system and DON T have to pre mix it.? How does that work? So you have an oil tank?

I just reread your post. So you have an electronic injection system. The problem I see with that is that it can still fail. When I mix the gas and oil there is nothing that can fail. An$ it’s very easy to mix. I have a 5 gallon gas can and add 13 oz of oil. Easy peasy
What I use to get the gas into the tank is a liquid transfer pump ( works great) from harbor freight.

spare, xl shaft, fly by wire?

25 inch, mechanical shift. Comes with shifter, harness, rigging. I prefer mechanical on singles.
