Looking at said motor, but know very little of the Mercury makes. Any words of wisdom on what to look for that could be a serious issue? I currently have an 84 rude 60 horse and could tear it apart and put it back without much headache, but beyond the basics of 2 cycles, what is different on a Merc that I should look for?
Thanks
