Stick it in the garage and get a brand new one with warranty, less head-ache.I would never give it up though, I just need to find someone who can work on these engines..........( . )( . )....nothing like the rumble of a OMC V8 OffShore engine! wink

you got that right nuthin like the omc rumble, but i think the 300x would be a good investment if nothing else they sem to hold their resale pretty well.

Question for you Kim...........how has your gearcase held up on that V-8? I have always heard that the OMC V-8's are hard on gearcases. Anyway, I think a 300X is an excellent choice because it is a reliable 325hp motor that you can take to any reputable Mercury shop to have a tech. hook up the computer to it to see what is wrong. Another dealer to consider would be Koty Marine. I have never dealt with them, but have heard they have good prices on new motors. They advertise in the back of ***boat and are located in the NE of the US! Good Luck!

Just this summer after the rebuild, I found out that it is a V6 gear case and he told me as long as I didn't stick it gear with any rpm's it would last.But I think I took it out setting the timing this summer, nice grinding noise afterward,s parked for the rest of the year..........( . )( . )....... frown

My 15' Jolly Roger has a 150 Merc that weighs 450 lbs. Imagine having that 300x on the back.
Scary. http://free.***boat.net/gallery/Reader_Rides/Outboards/boat_pic.JPG
