Serial number only tells you Dealer work, it wont tell you the "TRUE" history on how a motor was cared for.
That was my assumption. But the serial will confirm LU and what “should” be on this motor. Whether a LU was swapped etc.
appreciate the intel
gen 2 TM , trim system replaced early , as well as compressor failure in 2023 rails supposedly cleaned at shop
joe. Thank you. Compressor failure and supposedly cleaned are some red flags.Quote:

really puts things into perspective.
If it's in the mercury system it was done at a dealer. I'm sure it says that the rails were cleaned, the "supposedly" likely comes from it saying they were cleaned, but there are only a few places that do it correctly. That's my unqualified thought on "supposedly".
very true. Similar to an automobile. Got it.Quote:

was done by dealer or i as a MERCURY MARINE dealer could not see warranty repairs , regulator diaphragms and tracker as well as o rings were issued as a result of compressor failure contaminating rails thus the cleaning , now how good a clean i cant tell may have been wiped off i dont know:confused2: , the sure way to verify would be have them PROFESIONALY verified /certified A#1 GENUINE done , best i can do on the intel ...... trust meQuote:

too bad documented Mercury work is not backed up by pictures. I say this because a documented compressor failure can be interpreted many ways. A leaky seal is alot different outcome vs an overheat bearing failure
priceless info.
+1 Joe
If the compressor just had suffered a "leak" then there is no reason to state the rails were cleaned.
"compressor failure contaminating fuel rail '' stated was no seal leak
Precisely. Parts list showed all the appropriate parts to clean the rails completely. No knowledge of what may have happened to the DI's, however.Quote:
