We have found these outboards to a very smooth running 2 stroke. We have had no failures on any of the Mercury motors we have remanufactured. We found that the few failures with this class of outboards are due to fuel contamination or oil injection failure. Fuel contamination can be prevented by installing a Racor filter and checking it regularly. These motors have stayed with this basic design, other than some ignition and cosmetic changes, for 25 years. As with all Mercury outboards we build we have removed the oil injection.

Benefits: You can expect low gas consumption with this outboard. It very light weight compared to the newer 4 stroke outboards. Due to the popularity of Mercury products you will have excellent parts and service availability.

All our remanufactured outboards come with new decals, a new cover gasket, stainless steel tilt tube, and our 7 part paint system.
