Who would think you would have to ck. a 525 efi with 165 hrs. on it.----- Well I think the valve that broke was a fault in the valve--- not the engine it self. Mercury Marine should have helped me out a little, but I tried to get them to do that but they said no way you are not the original owner & you are out of warranty.
