[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 485650, member: 22613"] The Zuke runs okay but I have been having more and more issues with it, and it has an ever decreasing parts supply. The idle air passages in the carbs are screwed up and I have never gotten it to idle very well. A new set of carbs is pretty expensive. It will do just over 30 as-is. The reservoirs here are long and spread out, 10+ mile runs to the honeyhole are not uncommon. I'm not really doing it as much for the horsepower as I am the fuel savings and having a quieter, smoother, more modern outboard. Most are in love with their 4 stroke. I have the Merc all torn apart and parts ordered, gaskets were the biggest expense. A fuel issue torched the #4 piston, but the bore is not hurt badly. All told I will have probably $1500 in it, including new controls. Next time I take it out I'll try to find some sand bags or something to weigh down the rear and see how it sits. [/QUOTE]
