Re: mercruiser 3.0 performance, pros and cons, what can I expect?
Every other I/O on the lakes we boat is a 3.0. You can hear them from a mile away. You will be just fine if you don't expect more than a 4 banger can deliver. I disagree on the MPG though as it has been shown countless times with technical data that the V6 option gets the same mpg for the simple reason that it works a lot less given the large HP and TQ difference.
