Yeah, I know. It was interesting to me because I wasn't aware I/O
manufacturers were still using that engine in current production and, of
course, they aren't. I wasn't aware Herring bought a used boat.

"One of my dad's trucks from the early 1960's was a Chevy with a straight
six, and it ran reliably for a long time."


Surprising that the old in line four MerCruiser 3.0 is still available in 2016 boats. Guess there is a warehouse full of them somewhere. I was a bit concerned about the old technology but it runs fine except for being a bit rough idling when cold.
Almost wish it had a manual choke. We sure are spoiled by EFI.


Mercruiser used to make one even more anemic than the 3.0Do they
still make the 2.5L?
