Re: new motor advice

Good, now you get things sorted out. I'll get you some merc links so you can see they change the ECM,

As far as that

button goes. It's seldom needed and causes more problems than necessary.

Re: new motor advice

Thanks a lot guys.Thanks for the welcome and for your time.This is really a different thing for me(comunication via internet)I do hardwood floors for a living and typeing or e-mail is not usually not my thing.I do better with a phone.(or so I thought).This is a cool thing,being able to talk about things and learn without having to go to the store and learn from the sales staff.There is a LOT to be said for experiance.

> Engine Accessories
> Mercruiser
> Closed Cooling Kits
Now you have a choice, Dry joint or MCM Pre Dry Joint.
That is the type exhaust system they have. If you buy an OEM engine from a Merc dealer, it will have Dry Joint exhaust. That is a GOOD thing. But the engine driven raw water pumps are necessary on the Merc Closed cooling system because the manifolds are FW cooled also.
Not a big deal, but the raw water pumps are a PITA to change, along with the cool fuel system............
Any-Way,,,,,,,, look around. It's the OEM site.

Re: new motor advice

Thanks Don.Idid see the ECM change but,in their note (4) it says they will credit you back for the original ECM when you return it along with the ECM credit voucher located in the box with THEIR cooling system kit.So as you said befor,order it that way,it's already done.You obviously know your stuff.Thanks again for your time .
