Re: Merc water pressure relief valve
Klaw-Performance marine use to make their own popet valve system. It was somewhat simular to Merc's design, but not as evolved. It also costed about the same....
I'd first get on the water, and then address the problem. You may just get lucky and not need them.

1 1/4" on the input and output and 1" on the relief. Hope to hook mine up this week. Will let everyone know the results after next weekend.

Do you think that the direction of water flow, as stated in the instructions, has a bearing on it's performance? I have seen pics on this site where the over pressure discharge is opposite of what's stated in the Mercury instructions.

Re: Merc water pressure relief valve
Here is a picture of the over pressure discharge opposite of the supply flow.
Personally, I don't think it matters due to the fact that when it opens the water will take the path of least resistance, regardless of direction.
