    Question New powerhead?? And??

    Ok, here's my question....I see a used boat for sale and the owner is advertising the motor got a new powerhead installed last year at the local marina(2001 Mercury 225 efi). What questions do I need to be asking? Some guys make it sounds like its as good new motor but it can't be just that simple, right? Educate me, please!

    I guess the first question would be, did they find the underlining cause for the power head failure.
