How the reliability of the 485 merc. Inboard.motor?

Paul, this thread is from April, 2010. It would be best to begin a new thread for your question.


However, I would agree with Jack....... this was Merc's own engine design, they had issues with it, and as a result it lived a rather short life within the Merc inventory.



Keep looking!

Ayuh,.... Reliability was Not one of the virtues of the ole 470s,....

Mercruiser's redheaded bastard step-child they've been tryin' to forget for decades now,...

I'm sure somebody thought that looser was a 'great idea' at one time.

What were they thinking?
