I just bought this LEMON and was told ran good last yr......Yeah Right.... Anyway when I got it out on the river it tricckled water out of the hose coming out of the motor. After I noticed it I headed in and the engine power stayed at about 5 mph at full throttle. Had to go about a half mile...
I'm about to buy a 1978 merc. 140 hp and was told it needs a water pump replaced and it costs about $30.00. Is this price correct? Is it fairly easy to change these yourself or do I need to take in to a repair shop..
Any help would be awesome.Thanks for your time, Chris Bartelt
