R-Man...are you familiar w/ Accu-Mix bottle...easiest way to mix gas/oil 8)...$3.99 at most dealers (Merc or others) and I think I saw 'em in Wallyworld...

David did not know much about boats, especially this one. I think he only took it out 2 or 3 times all the years he had it.

Accu-mix bottle came with the boat filled with oil. ;D

TinMan was having overheat issues as well w/ his 98 200 Merc. He hasn't been around much lately......he did alot of diagnostic/trail and error......didn't get it sorted out yet but there was alot of speculation leaning toward the "poppet" valve. Mercs seem to have their share of cooling issues. A bevy of information to be had on THT about Mercurys. Hope you get it worked out, nice boat too , good luck :D

I wonder if this is the poppet valve.

With the barbs on those two nipples, there's GOTTA have been hoses on those at some time...I'm thinkin' oiler related...particularly since oiler discoed ;) ...wonder if those holes should be plugged?... ??? ...




Good deal on the Accu-Mix bottle ;) ...
