I been reading here quite a bit. I keep hearing the same things " my motor blew up" or " my lower unit went out" Alot of the stories are from people with newer boats. The mercruiser 5.7 is basically a chevy 350. This has been a great durable motor for chevrolet. I dont know much about the lower units but it would seem to me that not much should go wrong with them. Are boats that much harder on engines? Why so much problems w/ these things? I have heard of sucking plastic bags in and cutting off the waterflow to the motor, but man dont people watch the temp gauge.
I am scared to deth to buy an inboard because of all the bad publicity. Am I missing something? Can someone explain the problems?
Thanks Steve
