search my posts for DF140 for details.
I have a 2004 and I love it...but... it did have a known problem with corrosion in the exhaust channel where a steel plug is. The replacement "Engine Holder" part does not have the plug, it is solid aluminum.
That cost me $1800 incl labor.
Recently I replaced all internal engine block anodes. They were due but the block looks fine. You should buy replacements and o-rings before removing the anode covers
I replaced the Idle Air Control Valve last year, causing stalling when backing off throttle fast. The codes of flashing lights on the Multigauge pointed me right to the problem.
Boats.net has all parts and diagrams. I have a pdf of the service manual. pm me.
It is a great motor for the money. It will push your v20 to the mid 30's at wot. 3.5 mpg on 120+ mile round trips at 30 mph.
Turn the key after 6 months in a snow covered field- it starts. Love it.
