Only part that had a rot problem on that vintage merc was the steering arm. My 20 year old 150 was still in good shape in 2014 when i got the 4S. I don***8217;t think the new motor will last as long, but i probably won***8217;t either

For what they charge for a new engine, no matter the manufacturer, it would be nice to not have it rot out before it's usable lifespan and maybe they could employ a nation known for more high quality production than china.

Personally I'd love to see an outboard made in Germany. Way back in the 70's-80's I had a boat with a 350 GM engine on it married to a BMW outdrive. It just seems to me that a country so well known for precision engineering should be able to produce an outboard of the same high quality. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part?

I dont think they'll be able to do that without a blower. Right now, all teh 4 cylinder 200's regardless of brand are getting a reputation of being weak, personally I think its undeserved, but comparing them to V6 engines that were underrated at 200 isn't fair
