Seems to me the Mercury got some problems, I have a brand new engine with less than 20 hours, and the oil warning came on. mech found the gear that drives the oil injection pump stripped out. Why the hell have a metal drive shaft and a plastic planatary gear?? Very poor design as well as I like Mercury. I am going to take the pump off and put the oil in the gas tank as labor to put this gear in is over 400 bucks. any thoughts on this modification.
