Thanks.. Do you have any knowledge about the mercury/yamahas? There one for sale an it's a four stroke. I guess there was a time when mercury was buying from yamaha and putting their label on it. Are these worth it?

LOL, Yes, you are right. The current on the Halifax is no joke. I asked someone to look at it, but I wanted to get some clues before he came so I don't get taken for a ride. I'm ok mechanically, but i'm limited in knowledge about outboards. Thanks

Thank you. I am new to outboards. Seems like here in Florida thats the way to go. In Virginia I've always had stern drives. So I have been doing everything I can to maintain this engine. So Far I changed the fuel water separator, the fuel filter, the low pressure fuel pumps (2), gear oil twice...

Hi, I am trying to figure out if I have an ox66. I have a 2000 Yamaha sx200txrx saltwater series 2 and it looks exactly like the ox66 when the cover is off, but I'd like to know for sure. Where do I look for this info? On the ID plate it says: 666 x 001546 u. Does that help any? The other...
