ok, so I want to trade in my '78 johnson 75hp , and get a mercury 150, CANT WAIT FOR THAT
Now, I found 2 mercs 150 and since here in my country everything above 25hp is rare, finding 100+ models is a lottery, so one of these 2 will be the final choice, now the 2 are:
1) 1994 150 black max , the motor is on a boat so we will give it a spin, any special thing to check on these things ?
2) 1997 150 efi, I have a few issues with this one: it has been sitting for 2 years so don't know if that can cause issues, the guy sold the boat, so we can only check it on land, and do a muff test, and finally I got a small heart attack today when I saw the ECU price is 1500 , how prone are these things to failure ?
also any general advice on what to look out for on these 2, and any other tips and expirience for them would help a lot
