The 88 175 JOHNSON was a cross flow fuel HOG! The old OMC cross flow engines were as reliable as ANY outboard ever built, idled good, and had gobs of bottom end power, but they could drink fuel like NOBODIES business. Still can't believe MERCURY got rid of the 2.4L engine that had good power and GREAT economy for the 2.5L that drinked fuel in the same league as the OMC cross flow engines.
