Hello,

I have a straight 6 GM engine 165 hp I/O. The boat is a '76, original engine and outdrive. So far so good with the set up although some Mercruiser parts for the drive and associated hardware are difficult but not impossible to get.

Mercruiser has a system of upgrades they recommend when a specific part is obsolete. Good news is there is a support system and most everything can be fixed, Bad news is cost. I replaced the shift cut out switch and needed to replace the hydraulic manifold plate and trim/tilt assy to "upgrade" the switch. Very nice set up when all done, but really didn't want to get that far into the system. I'll post some photos of the boat soon...
