That is one of the best Mercs made and I have been accused of not being a Mercury fan. But I will admit to owning a bunch of them. The inline 4 cylinder like that one was what I sought out for a tiller motor for my gutted 17' Whaler pickup truck. The motor became the classic "50" in 1986 and actaully had a 40 horspower rating due to the change to prop rated hp. My motor is a 1996 40hp rating but will outrun the porky mercaha 2002 Mercury four stroke 50hp it replaced. Idles just as smooth in my opinon and isn't terrible on gas.
