The price does seem high for 10 year old 2 strokes. I would spend the money and buy a good manual and get somebody to help you set your current MERC up first if it was me.

Good to know about the corrosion...thanks.

I have a Clymer manual on the way and consider myself fairly mechanically inclined, so I'm hoping I can get it running in a decent manor.

"THEFERMANATOR" I frequent "TheDieselPlace.com" often and saw your name there and knew I saw it somewhere else....it was from here on this website. :)
