Merc 565's recalled?
 
I heard that all four of the in-water Mercury 565's (Formula and Nor-Tech) have been removed from the boats and sent back to Mercury. I noticed that the engines in the Formula had "Void" stickers on them. Were these engines pre-production models, or is there an issue?

What about Blee's Cig?

They probably just had a loose nut behind the wheel. :D

Guessing they need to go find 5 HP to match Ilmor,

.... or 10 to "beat" them.

all i can say is at least they are working on whatever the issue might be and not putting more out there.this economy is so messed up lets concentrate on government that hurting are businesses than businesses that are trying to fix it.just my 2-cents

C Spray posts he heard and Raylar shows his try colors. Why do some try so hard to kill this industry we love?

Raylar 03-07-2012 08:15 PM

Stupid reply
 
Sorry my bad! Was not trying to kill the industry. I am sure Mercury Racing will make a fine fix and at least they are trying to make a product right! I salute them for that!
I did not ask the question I was just making stupid conversation, you're right I should stop that!

Best Regards,
Ray @ Raylar

not sure what im reading,who is trying to kill the industry we love?

Guys posting negative rumors instead of making a phone call and guys posting negative comments on rumors don't help manufactures, engine builders and other companies in an industry trying to survive. If we love the sport we need to try to help it not destroy it. Rant Over.

P.S. Thanks Ray.

Heard they recalled them cause they where fugin ugly!!!!!!! :evilb:

C_Spray 03-08-2012 10:05 AM

My two sources are 100% reliable and very much in-the-know, but are NOT in a position to comment themselves. Regardless, AS I ACKNOWLEDGED, these may simply be pre-production units that were never intended to stay in the field. I hope that whatever it is, it does not affect BLee's boat; no one wants that.

Matt Trulio's hands may be tied at the request of Mercury. That would be understandable.

Uncle Dave 03-08-2012 10:19 AM

I think its safe to say when whatever the issues may be get ironed out it will be a great mill.

I do hope they fix the ugly part.

Valve seats, as it turns out. Future production will have the upgrades. Good to go now.
