NEED HELP!! FRUSTRATED 2000 Mercury 200 EFI Blown Powerhead

[jakarpinsk1]

Long story short, my powerhead blew on my 2000 Mercury 200 EFI last summer (2014) My marina guy said he could get me deal from his buddies boat for a powerhead. He got the motor and said its a 4 stroke so it wont fit on mine. He hasn't been able to get any parts from the guy so he supposively just has the powerhead sitting in his shop... I paid $2500 for this powerhead... What do i need to do to get this to work. He said it is a mercury 200 4Stroke and it wont fit on my lower unit. I have been patient for long enough i need some ammo to go talk face to face to him tomorrow and get this settled or get my money back

could he be mistaken and mean it is a DFI? Or did he really get a verado powerhead... Need help please!!!!!

what's the SN, Don can identify exactly what you have, SN# of both powerheads would be ideal, however, you're either going to have to get a powerhead for the blown motor OR get a lower unit for the 4 stroke. Having a SN off that 4 stroke will help Don pinpoint what lower unit you need. http://www.bbcboards.net/mercury-mot...al-number.html.

By the way, I'd go somewhere else for motor help.

My motor serial is 0T143312 i will be going to the shop today and will get serial.
Would it be smart to keep the motor head and buy potentially a new lower unit for it or sell it for more than i purchased it for and then get new powerhead for my current motor?

Without knowing what the other motor actually is, it's impossible to answer your questions.
