Hello all, I would like to ask a bit of advice on an older Mercury motor. This is my dad’s 200 20hp motor that he bought in the late 70’s. I put a new water pump into it, carb kit, plugs, new gear oil for the lower unit and I am in search of some ears to tell me if this motor sounds sea worthy? I have run it for approximately 20-30 mins, it shifts fine and the water pump is working very well. I am unsure about the idle speed for this particular motor and would appreciate any input as to how it sounds. This is something I wanted to fix up for my dad who said he wanted to take it out before his time is up in this world. It would mean the world to me if I could get this thing going for a good trip on the water with him.
