L10 rod bolts should come in everything, Or your 454 mag will have catastrophic engine failure.

If you list your boat on OSO it's worth $5000 more.

Bang on! Heard it all, bought it all...you can't beat Mercury Racing period. Superior engineering wins every time.

Merry Christmas to all

Strongly disagree. Kendall GT-1 20/50. Many boats / hours = Zero problems.

Problems with ignition switches and fuel senders can only be solved by swapping on SSM drives and running 5 blade props.

I have learned from OSO

Whatever you think it will cost you to fix...multiply that by 2.5

Whatever you think it is worth.......divide by 2

Whenever you think you will be home from boating....add 3

What ever you think it costs to refill the boat....add 500


and finally if the boat causes too many problems at home....divide everything by 2
