Checking out this Merc xr4 150 to buy the people sware it runs but I cant crank it cuz it needs a starter put on. The other situation is all johnson and evinrudes I have ever had to me when you put the motor in gear to engage it you should not be able to turn the prop with your hand. This one you can and I can hear a popping when I turn it. The other thing is when I checked the lower unit fluid water came out and then the fluid. Do I need to stray away the motor is on a 18ft winner with a jack plate and hotfoot descent hull over all and they were not trying to get rid of it I just stopped and asked cuz I seen it sitting and they said they would take a grand for boat and motor other wise they care nothing about trying to sale it or use it cuz it belonged to there deceased uncle.
