    Waterpump rebuild questions

    First off, 1996 merc efi 200hp, I went out on the river the other day and got a warning beep ( not solid beep but interrupted and fast).

    150 hp Suzuki questions

    I found an older boat with a 150 Suzuki. All I know about the motor is that it has dual plugs in each cylinder. Do any of you know about the reliabilty of this motor and what the compression should be? The owner says it has just over 300 hrs. It's a 1990 model motor by the way. Thanks for...
