Anyone know of a good website for Merc outboards.

My neighbor bought a new 17 Foot Montauk with the 90 hp Merc.
The engine has been a total lemon.
Blown head gasket, disintegrated air cleaner, Number 4 cylinder drops off ocassionaly. New computer, did not fix the problem.

103 total hours on motor, maintained as per owner manual.

Another example of why I repowered with a 90 hp E-Tech.

Thanks

Patrick

I believe this guy is primarily a Merc mechanic and seems very knowledgeable:

X2 on the E-tec!

I really dislike my 90 Merc, but I wonder if overheating started his problem...
