Default Re: Input please

Franco, a good friend of mine had a 200 Merc in that vintage...Merc used a PLASTIC gear in the auto-oiling system that's proven what I believe to be unreliable...it'll torch your powerhead when it fails...I'm leary of that model Merc...if your info uncovers improvements in that setup, that would be my only idea about it...motor performed well til the gear failure...maybe if you can by-pass auto-oiler and pre-mix... ;)...

Sure is a good lookin' boat... ;D...but I'd hate for you to invest all your hard-earned boat bucks into a 200 HP Norton Snagger... :o...
