    4.3 Valve seals

    Scott, reason to mention you is it looks like it has 2 different type seals and have not seen the multi seal ones

    5.0 Merc Compression Readings

    Doesn't change my comment, motors that run on 87 octane do not have compression numbers that high. If motor was designed to run on 93 octane then could be right

    5.0 Merc Compression Readings

    210 is way to high, either a bad gauge or there is liquid in the cylinders (gas,oil or water)

    What's the word on the street about current Mercury models?

    Using AI is about like asking folks on a forum, some know some don't know, adding AI in the mix without checking if it's actually correct is like asking a Homer Simpson

    2018 Mercury 40 EFI – rhythmic RPM surging at WOT after 5 minutes – video

    My first thought is weak fuel pump I would suggest putting a pressure gauge on it to see if it's falling off

    Seat removal to access front of engine SL222

    Bungees are for cooler Never done it on a 4 winns but all these type of designs does allow the seat to be removed, BUT it's always had to do. Buddy has a Rinker with even more issues, and your going to spend a couple hours finding all the screws needing to be removed before the wall is removed

    For flushing find what ever is cheapest, your not going to put the motor under load so no issue. Do agree lower weight like 10w30, could use 0w20 but that's synthetic and probably cost more
