Well it finally happened. My 2007 Merc 225 Pro XS engine failed. Two pistons coming apart acc to the mechanic. That was a really sweet motor that ran great for 13 years. I've decided to replace the motor instead of putting on a new powerhead. Going with a new Merc 225 Pro XS 4-Stroke. Going to cost me an arm and a leg but with the longer warranty and (hopefully) higher resale value it should be worth it. Looking forward to getting her back on the water again although it may be quite a while with all the Covid related delays.
