1993 merc xri 175 hp questions
Bought my first fiberglass boat in early July of this year, and boy has it been an experience. It's a 94 Bass Cat eyra had a 150 mariner mag 3 which I blew up 3 weeks after I got it. Machine shop said rod bearing failure was the cause. Rod went through the block and metal went in crankcase and destroyed that so it wasn't rebuildable.
I found a "low hours" sense rebuild 1993 merc 175 xri efi for a decent price complete engine. Engine does appear to be freshly rebuilt. Some concerns I have found it had the wrong plugs in it, easy fix. The throttle linkage needed synched easy fix. My biggest concern at this point is or maybe I shouldn't be concerned that's why I'm asking compression numbers are 110, 110, 118, 110, 105, 95... Should I be concerned about those numbers? 95 is a bit low correct? I also thought I read these engines have higher compression like in the 120 to 135 range? Is that accurate? Any help or advice is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
