Yeah, when you clean out a neglected engine it can get pretty nasty.

I assume we're talking about the water coming out of the prop. What comes out of the tell-tale should be the same color as the water going in.

hope it helps

Shouldn't have any problems with your 150.... Power Tune is a de-carbonizing fluid.... Check it out at your local friendly Merc dealer....

west marine tech told me in the shop they ran this stuff in every motor despite year and it should be done every 100 hours I will know today on the all day fishing affair how well it really worked but everyone is real confident in this product so imagine i will be too

Besides Chris said to do it Ha ha Thanks Chris for all the help

As posted this is great stuff and I prefer it over Seafoam. I usually run about a 1/2 of the can thru engine while running and then soak the cylinders with remaining can overnite then start and run. I also suggest you run Quickleen in fuel to help keep engine clean, 1 bottle treats 72 gallons and I sell this stuff by the cases in the summer!!! :)
