Isn t that the same block as the 200 s. Lots of those running around. I m assuming they are both the same shaft length
No to put salt on the wound, but i bet that sounded pretty impressive when it cut loose |

Yea. It didn't feel right. Had an intermitant noise. I took the cowl off and was running it in the Chesapeake Bay .then it started knocking some kind of bad.stupid loud. I made it to the pier and the noise went away. I was like wtf.....I fre reveed it and it sounded great and ran great no noise....I free reved it again and boom!!! It was stupid loud metal went every where. I dove down to floor. My buddy got hit I. The face with something he was ok. Shot a nice fire ball out the block too.i couldn't help but laugh. Glad I made it back in.

Sorry it happened. :( Glad you made it to the pier when it did let go. There are a lot of people running these boats with 200HP engines. In fact, while I cannot speak for every engine made by every maker, I do know that most times the difference between a 150, a 175 and a 200 was purely a matter of the carbs that were on the engine. The blocks were all the same. I invite "Mr. know it all boat mechanic" to come look at my boat with it's nice shiny 1993 200 HP Merc engine that's been on her since I got her several years ago. Depending on the year, these boats are rated for up to 225 hp. As long as your transom is solid you should be fine with a 200.
