Found a couple for cheaper, anywhere from 2800-3900 for a 150, so I think that is the route I am going to go.

As for those who bash the VRO I was given this link from the THT, interesting read...

i have this article and read it several times. Svence, i still run my VRO system on my 1996 Johnson 150 and have no worries with it. i check my reservoir religiously and when it gets about half way down i fill it up to the top. about twice a month i look over the lines and connections from the reservoir to the engine.

i know alot of people hate the VRO system, and maybe one day i will too, but i like using it now and if it fails, such is life. but i know alot of people local that are using the VRO system and there engines are still running.

i think people are afraid of things they don't understand and repair. so they just remove or don't use it and feel better. but the system works and ALOT of people use it. but like it has been said, your system didn't fail, it worked fine up to the point that it ran out of oil.
