Re: 502s MERC OWNERS

I have a 97 with the 502 with 200 hours. Not one problem yet. It will run 70 all day with a 26p prop. Its a good boat as well as motor, Im surprised they gave you that opinion. Most people prefer the older 502, 454 Merc motors over the 496mag. What boat are you looking at?

Re: 502s MERC OWNERS

who did you talk to at the factory?
i have never heard anything bad about the 502 other than it likes to burn oil, about a quart every 5 hours or so.
