Just noticed that David's outboards have a special exhaust on the mids, whereas this 280 engine doesn't

What's the difference in models?

Good one Bob:evilb:
I haven't gotten back in the water yet but I'm getting close.
Powerhead came back from Diamond, looks like new out of the box (that's always a plus).
My first experience with Diamond so far, so good.
Finishing up the connections on everything this week, hope to have in the water this weekend, I let you know how it goes

Diamond doesnt have any drop ons Noli, and mercury quit making them available

I was able to take the skater to the water and start the engines and check idling and shifting before taking wife out on trial run

Thanks!!!

We put 10 hours on it last year and 2 hours this week so I'm off to a good start.
The new power head and the Diamond rebuilt one started right up and idled beautifully. The 2 others were good too.
