Evening everyone,
So I gave up on repowering and am having my Mag II rebuilt. While apart doing a few other things like the 200 tuner, solid motor mounts, some port work, etc. My builder will install carbon reeds if I want but he is partial to the steel reeds in these older Mercs. Different motor he would absolutely recommend carbon fiber but on mine he finds that the steels rarely fail and seat better.
I completely trust my builder but while it’s apart interested to know some thoughts on if should I go ahead and switch the reeds? For reference additional cost is the reeds themselves and then 1 hour labor for the lapping and install.
Thanks!
Willie
