Default Merc 850's service

Can someone tell me about the Mercury 850's? You don't see a lot of them out there. Do they require the same service intervals as the 1075's? How about the good the bad or the ugly on them. Thanks for any insight.

A guy asked about reliability and refresh on a Merc 850 and I suggested he talk to Precision Marine. Precision has more experience with merc racing motors then just about anyone outside of Merc.

He said that because the original poster doesn't have a boat with 850's, so he must be looking at something but hasn't told anyone. We're all friends and like to do a little ball busting with each other.
