    2014 mercury 250 pro xs

    Serial number. 2B089766 2014 mercury pro xs 250

    lookong at a boat with this motor on it. 440 hours. Compression 98,95,95,95,97,94. Test was ran by marina that has it forsale. Are those a bit low or acceptable for this age motor? Any reservations I should have?

    thanks In advance.

    +1 to both above comments.

    Keep in mind that gauges vary, so it may be as simple as the gauge that was used.
