I have a 1976 Mercury 402, 40hp. This engine came with a old boat I am redoing.
My question is, strip the engine down for parts, or put the engine back on line? I have no real need for the engine, I have two spare 70hp outboards sitting on stands and ready to go. I am not sure which would be more marketable, selling the 402 as a whole (it needs at a minimum a carb clean) or strip it down for parts,
Any input, I heard these engines are a dime a dozen, but not sure about that/
Thanks
