Looks like it will go back together nicely when I get a few gaskets and make up a longer water tube. Bass boat motors, I love the fact that they are nearly corrosion free but they still get beat on.
Hadn't been online much this weekend. Been working on the new to me motor and cleaning on the V. Told Reel I wanted it "Slinger Clean" so he takes one look at it and says, "You Got Your Work Cut Out For You !".
And then I left!!...LOL!!...

wow Ozzie that is one sweet Merc you have there. And wow Vic! 250 xs opti....sweeeeeeet!. The only drawback if I remember correctly is that you have to run it on premium gas. But it is well worth it.

91 minumum octane or Poof! Capt. Pete you know your stuff. Fortunately, I always run 90 non-ethanol or 93 high test with ethanol. Perhaps I can nearly double my mileage, it is an Optimax after all.
Just need to figure out the rigging. Smartcraft? Vessel view? or NMEA to the Lowrance? Still looking at the options and the $$$.
