That's basically paying $300 for a carb rebuild. Which is fine, but if you're going to pay someone you'd probably be better off having someone local do it.Or swap it out here,

Or someplace like it.
I have a 1999 5.0 mercruiser. I have rebuilt the carburetor twice. I think its acting up again.

I replaced my 30 year old carbs on our boat we bought 3 years ago to Edelbrock carbs which cost aprox $450 each plus installation of aprox $100 each to a competent mechanic. The chokes are upgraded to electronic chokes and the components are ethanol resistant in case a marine fuel station sneaked it in. The boat now runs great and it was money well spent. You have to know what you are doing rebuilding a carb it’s easy to mess it up. You don’t clean itI have a 1999 5.0 mercruiser. I have rebuilt the carburetor twice. I think its acting up again. Any body has any opinions on the Sierra new carbs 18-7375. the new Merc carbs are very expensive.
Forgot to mention the carbs are Edelbrock 1410’s with electric choke designed for marine useI replaced my 30 year old carbs on our boat we bought 3 years ago to Edelbrock carbs which cost aprox $450 each plus installation of aprox $100 each to a competent mechanic.

right or you don’t install the parts right you could have problems. Sometimes it’s better just to replace the units and have it done by a competent knowledgeable mechanic it’s true you’re gonna have to pay some bucks to the guy but your boat will run great I don’t wanna be spending hours tinkering trying to figure things out and end up breaking something
