    Self rebuild of merc 225-250

    Hey guys im interested in learning how to rebuild optimax and pro xs.. I have several years experience in the dirtbike world but never have broken into an outboard powerhead. Looking for any advice or process you guys use to make things easier and tools you have found that make the job easier.
