Re: 50 ELPT 4-Stroke Mercury opinions needed
I didn't mean to imply it is a bad motor...mine is older, has lots of hrs and has been reliable. It has too many plastic parts for my liking but they haven't given a problem except on the fuel pump housing I posted about. It did strand me once the first yr but I found it to be a loose harness connector under the hood. All I did was spread the hollow male pins to make them fit tight...problem gone. I'm just not a fan of Merc Marine Inc, their engineering or 4 strokes anymore.
