"I recently purchased a Trophy
"I recently purchased a Trophy 2502 w/Twin 175hp '93 Mercury OB's, Carborated.
I found out after the sale, that the engines were 60% power bleed off in general, 80% on one cylinder, with some scoring on the cylinders.
The engines work, and I would like to get through the boating season without having to rebuild them. It's a money issue.
Are there additives I can put in the gas, and or the Oil to help baby the engines for a while prior to a rebuild?
The Marina mechanic seems to think so, but I don't want to chance it?
Any other suggestions on babying the engines is appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
