2019 Mercury 250 Pro XS 4 stroke
Model: M250L PRO XS 250 TM 4S
Serial Number: 2B574658
Please see picture below. While idling recently in a stumpy environment at Lake Seminole, the engine hit a submerged tree. My questions has anyone else seen or had an issue of such?? I have spent countless hours idling in these environments and have hit underwater objects much harder with my 2 stroke ProXS. I had no idea this happened until I loaded on the trailer. No alarms, no issues in performance, and no water pressure issues. I thought this would be an easy interchangeable repair but the mechanic is telling me over 16 hours in labor and close to $1,500 in parts. Does this seem feasible to any of you guys??
Has anyone had any trouble with the durability of this plate??
