My 2004 Mercury 60 Bigfoot engine produces the "continuous" warning symbol. It was diagnosed by a mercury certified master mechanic as overheating with "corrosion in the cooling system" (not resolved by a new T-Stat, impeller, waterpump). He said that to diagnose the problem he would need to pull the "power head" off estimated at $2000 - $2500 dollars but still could not guarantee problem resolution....as there was no "sure fix".
This motor has been well maintained. It has about 1200 hours on it. Is this about the expected life of this engine?
Should I replace this motor (repower) or pay for uncertain but expensive attempt to repair.
If I repower, should I get the same engine or should I get the 90 ELPT Four Stroke for my 2004 17 foot Boston Whaler
Does this engine have any value?
