[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 367870, member: 3278"] Mercs of that vintage are more prone to two issues. One is the ignition system. When it goes it is also more expensive to repair than the Johnson will be. Second one is gearcases. Somewhere around that vintage Merc had some manufacturing issues with the gearcases in that family of engines. Not sure of the exact year or years on the second issue so take that one with a grain of salt so to speak. Know it was around that year though. [/QUOTE]
