Like what?

[gotomgo]

Rod knock!!! Think I have it pin pointed to cylinder 1.i. Having horrible luck with outboards this year and the people selling them to me. I have a 98 merc125 offshore motor I got as a package deal. It is supposed to be a good motor but previous owner broke 2 plugs off in motor. I was able to extract them this morning.but now I gotta remove my motor from boat and swap all the parts I robbed off this motor...

I am so sick of buying used outboards and repowering my boat.my.motor grenaded in June. I have bought 3 different outboards for this boat. Every one of them has Benn f**ked .yes it's easy to swap motors. But it's 100 degrees n humidity is crazy in Maryland right now.not to mention all the money I'm out either

Maybe you can part them out and get a decent deal on one.

[gotomgo]

Yea. Best I can tell I have a set of black max 150 csrbs 2 sets of 125 offshore carbs as well a 3 good lower units

So many 150’s available......no need to go the “ barely adequate route”

.....Evinrude 300 G2 properly propped and on jack shaft
might get a V20/21 to about 65mph.....with nice 50 mph flat water cruise.
