Need some Mercury guru advice. Took my brand new Tohatsu 9.8 4-stroke off the jon boat and put it on the pontoon. Someone who I know well "gave" me the above mentioned Mercury. Supposed to have low hours for it's age, runs, has new impeller just needs a fuel pump because the fuel line barb is broken off and a new fuel tank.
I know nothing about Mercury's of this vintage, thinking about putting it on the jon boat for limited use on small lakes. Is this considered a reliable and trouble free motor?
I realize it's old but I'm mechanically inclined so I don't mind putting a little time and $$$ in it. Is it worth it?
