[QUOTE="satx78247, post: 361657, member: 11019"] vapiper, 1st, WELCOME ABOARD & to the tin boat hobby. SOUNDS fine on the boat. Otoh, your OB is a 15HO CHRYSLER & some of the parts were sourced from Mercury. - These OB motors were also sold by SEARS at one point. (You may well, in the future if not right now, have SERIOUS difficulty getting routine "maintenance parts" like water pump impellers, for example. = A member of our club has a bigger Chrysler OB & he's already running into parts availability problem.) It's no great secret here that I'm NOT a fan of Mercury or Chrysler (as I regard them as overly-complicated, over-priced and take many expensive tools to fix) BUT I nonetheless wish you the best with it. (For that reason, I recently gave away a "running OK" 40HP Mercury that I got with another tin boat.) yours, satx [/QUOTE]
