I hear you on that! Sorry about your Merc, was there any warning? A miss or anything? Lower RPMs? I am paranoid about that... I leaned out one of my Yamahas on my Mako a few years ago and she popped. I had switched tanks, turned one valve off, thought other valve was open. Starved both motors of fuel, but dummy me kept pushing the throttles toward the fiberglass. I finally realized what I did, opened the other valve and had no problems the rest of the way in. The next morning I was idling out, port motor started knocking and that was all she wrote
