    What's the word on the street about current Mercury models?

    Good motors and last a long time with proper maintenance. Check what the maintenance schedule is before buying. My Verado's require plugs, full filter and Alternator belt change every 100 hours, and the plugs are pricey

    For the most part yes, than take your finger and dig out all the grease around the castle nut and put the seal back on. Your digging most of the grease out because heat will build pressure and if no grease is removed it will push the seal out, it needs a little air space
