    I replaced about half of the engines at my shop. Mercury never actually said what caused the failures, however no break in + wot off trailer + Pro bass fishermen = stuck pistons. I did get a thank you note from then Mercury Marine manager of special markets, Bill Bucher, and FREE mercury jackets for my guys.

    Its the guys behind them who had the hearing loss. Its a lot quieter in front of them than behind them. They are louder on the beach than in the boat too.

    ...to stretch out my explanation a bit. you can't take a cold motor, in a cold envirement, in cold water, and start it "cold"...and procede to instantly run it to wide open throttle, without risk... any 2-stroke. there are ways to help reduce this risk. but these were overlooked evidently, on the day of the tournament.
