03 XS bit the dust

[Stratos Luver]

I went about 200 yards and the ol 250 sounded like it was missing and lost power. I got almost back to the ramp. Got it home and found a good sized hole in the front half of the crankcase on the #1 rod. Does anyone know if the power head replacements for these motors come as a long block( with all electronics) or just the bare powerhead

I cant answer your question but someone on here will be able to. also post this in the Mercury forum and they deffinately will have an answer for you

sorry to hear about your misfortune...

Should come as a long block (basic block with heads and intake already installed). Doubt it will come with any electronics...

Merc won't send a dressed powerhead without major fighting.

Dang Ferg. That sux. Let me know if I can do anything to help.

Hey Jason. How much would you give for a boat anchor custom built by mercury racing. Its a fuel efficient model, Right now it uses no gas at all

Hmm.....no thanks.

How many hours were on it? I'm guessing no warranty left?

I think about 190.

The powerhead will come with basic long block only. Nothing from the intake forward-reeds, etc. will have to come off of old engine. Also all the electronics, injectors, etc will be reused or replaced at extra cost...
