I have heard over the years there was some "less than truthful" things a foot here from Mercury. Maybe changing powerheads and seals without the inspectors knowing about it?? I am sure there are several guys on here that know for sure but they would probably have to kill us if they told us.

Good old video. Had to be boring for the drivers. Anyone interested in the history of Mercury needs to read Iron Fist. Very large book that is hard to put down.

It'd be amusing to see the same test done on Lake X with 4 strokes.......the amusing part being the tech on the fuel/repair boat when his boss tells him to do an oil change underway

as a dry sump system, it actually would be quite simple to rig-up for underway oil change(s)...but I understand the humor in what your saying...lol
