Like stated above, definately a looper. It could either be a 2L or 2.5L in a 175HP MERC. IIRC a 2L should have around 100 pounds of compression, and a 2.5L FEESHIN motor should have around 120-130(my XRI has 128). I personally junked the oil injection system on my 95 150 MERC 2.5L. Read to many stories of the nylon crank gear breaking. Or even worse it starts to strip the gear and the pump slows down, but not enough to set the alarm off. When I removed mine the metal gear that rode against the nylon crank gear was worn to the point it was razor sharp(I could have shaved with it). Also look under the flywheel to see if the magnets are loose. And if you run it, don't freak out when it doesn't shoot water out the piss hole right away. The MERC system only pees when the T-stats are open.

if its a 2.0 175 they made it from 76-81. i wouldnt mess with it. if its a 2.4 then it either a 78-91 a lot better than the older ones but still not a great as the 2.5's. if its a 2.5 its will be 1992-on. probably the one you are looking at.

thanks guys... I actually decided on another boat. Still a V20, but a 1985 with a 200hp Johnson Ocean Runner. This boat dosn't need a new fuel tank right away like the other boat would and it is in better shape overall. (comes with 6mos dry stack storage too :D ) going to compression test and run this one on Sat.
wish me luck... :jump:

IF the hull is good, renegotiate for it only...park it and just keep an eye out for replacement motor...that's one of the beauties of an outboard...take bad off, put good on...EASY

That motor has lower compression b/c of the relief holes . . . so don't be alarmed when you see 100psi or less in all 6 cylinders. As long it's even . . . then your good.
