This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

1997 Merc 200hp Efi

Post by iankrzyzanowski »

Just wondering if anyone has or has had or maybe has even heard anything about these motors?

Just looking for feedback. Are they reliable, gas guzzlers, any major issues?
Thanks

I have a 98 200 HP EFI Mariner. No problems, it does like its fuel though, especially on long, wide open runs. If you can keep it in the 4000 RPM range, fuel economy is good.

My '96 let a crank bearing go in the middle of lake ontario 3 yrs ago. It's disassembled in my garage, so there's lots of parts sill good (block, heads, pistons are junk) if you need anything.

Have it checked out, most guys' last. I

just have bad luck, no matter what make/model.
