Back in the 1970's-1980's we were told that the Merc 470 I/O was a Chevy blocked engine, in fact used some Chevy parts on them at times.... I'd like to learn more about it as that 470 (4 cylinder, 170 hp) was a great engine. It was fresh-water cooled with a heat-exchanger, was quiet, and was super fuel efficient. It ran the 22' boat at cruise-speed in the low 40 mph range.

Mercury was concerned back in the day that engines for In/Outs and Inboards may not be available from GM or the other manufacturers. These were years coming off gas shortages and heavy emissions. Mercury built their own. They came with a 2 or 4 bbl and fresh water cooling. They were known to overheat fairly easy and with automotive blocks becoming more powerful and more available, these engines were dropped.

We even ran offshore out of the Beaufort Inlet in NC a half-dozen times a year. The engine never failed to start right up, and needed only basic maintenance.

    Hi guys , I love your in channel , sorry to ask or maybe you can make a video about water in motor oil of an 4 stroke outboard. Just discovered in my 50hp efi Merc. , replaced the oil and run it on the barrel for 2 hr no water and level didnt changed, i found sand and small rocks in the thermostat , is it possible that on my last trip i idle alot and motor was cold running that lead to accumulate moisture or I need to dig farther ? Thanks a bunch.

    Thank you for your support! There are really two scenarios here and who ever has been running the boat will know. If you run a lot in shallow water or on a lot of beaches or sandbars. And you've sucked up some sand and rocks and what not. That stuck the thermostat open and the engine was running cold for awhile. That water in the oil is just condensation from running cold and not much to worry about. If it was just a little bit, that's most likely it. Now if you hit ground hard and sucked up a bunch and packed up one of the cooling passages that then ate through a gasket and it was a lot of water. You should dig further. We've seen both scenarios happen, it sounds more like the first scenario, but you never know :) a lot of people are embarrassed if they hit ground like that, they wont tell you. It happens to everyone though, sometimes, eventually you get into shallow water and it happens ;)

Schools like UTI cost about $35K, maybe even more now. So if you wanted to skip that cost, just keep applying to marina's until you get in. I will warn you though, you will still be going up and down ladders all day, in and out of the boats, as well as in and out of very small and cramped places, just like in the HVAC world.

    I didn't for these plugs, I use my impact to get them out, so they come right out, also, we will change these plugs in probably 2 months when the engines have about 1,000 hours! Plugs come pre-gapped! You can't really pre-fill an oil filter on an outboard engine, most of them are installed upside down! The oiling systems will have oil through everything within a couple of revolutions, so it fills up quick! Here's some more information from our website on pre-filling filters: www.bornagainboating.com/pre-fill-fuel-filter-water-separator/ After putting the grease on the driveshaft to hold the keyway in, and then cleaning the water pump housing in a parts washer, there isn't much need to, everything is pretty greasy and wet so the impeller just slides right into the housing! :) Thank you!

    LOOKING AT A new 200 OR BETTER SEAPRO MERC, do these motors have any issues in dirty water? example, the suzuki 250's fuel cooler will clog after several years, if run on the motors flush ports. You have to run in a tub to keep it from clogging when you're in the dirty St. Johns river. I know, sounds crazy, but believe me. Don't know much about Mercs, versus HONDA AND Suzuki's

    Haven't really seen a lot of them just yet. They are still fairly new. The V-8 and V-6 are super similar and we've got a guy with the V-8s on his boat. He's over 1500 hrs so far in a year without any issues. Yeah, Suzuki's have been known for their internal clogging issues though. That's why the Merc's and Yami's cost so much more. The metals are different and they've painting the inside of the engines, all of the cooling passages! Which is why you don't see them packed full of internal anodes to mess with. Yamaha learned that lessen with the F225s and midsections! For where you are, I'd stay away from the Honda's for the same issue. That Suzuki seemed to do you really well, but if you are ready to spend the money and do the repower. The Merc V-6 would be a good engine for you.

    @@BornAgainBoating It was the fuel cooler mostly, clogged 100% in this dirt water here after 5 years. Never ever again will use those flush ports! A 70 gallon tub, and run up to temp. after each trip. The St. Johns in Jax is acidic, muddy, nasty as it gets. Plus only 3-4 more years worth of incessant dredging! YIPEE!

    @Born Again Boating, I have this same 2018 motor 250hp but a non-verado, for the service, are those the same part numbers for thermostat, filters, plugs, etc? Also is there a 100hour service “bundle” one could buy instead of buying À la cart. Last thought, how do you feel about the QuickKleen fuel treatment “2”

    Hello! Yes, they are all the same parts. The last I checked they didn't have a bundle for the V6-V8's like they do for the L6s. They might now, but they didn't have that before. On the Quickleen, that's good stuff, it's like Yamaha ring free, it's good to use it and it's not expensive which makes it worth it :)

I buying a new boat in 2023 and was looking at the new mercury V10 but not if I have to do all of that maintenance every 100 hrs. Spark plugs, water pumps and belt should last longer than 100 hrs Yamaha is way less maintenance at 100 hrs. Oil, filter, lower unit oil, fuel filter, grease and water fuel separator. I change my water fuel separators a every year or 75 hrs.
