Bearings don't look too bad from the pic, how many hours? are they aluminum back "P" bearings? I don't know what Merc uses. I use ACL coated by Calico in everything. Im might be rolling bearings into 2 HP500 carbed engines soon to get another year out of them and curious to see what they look like at 400ish hours.

I don't remember what bearings we put in last rebuild. I'll take a look.

Probably have 250-300 hard hours on the bearings so I'm changing them some other parts while the motors are out.
