This is either a troll, or the most inane comment I've seen today.
There is though, an active conspiricy amongst the dealers to get these
things off the water. This includes inflated labor rates, inflated parts
costs, and poorly trained service personell who don't know how to work on
them properly.
Since they are so simple to work on... I surely wouldn't take a newer, more
complex, outboard to any shop that couldn't properly troubleshoot or tune up
a 1980 140hp Merc.
Clams,
I agree its BS. Aside from that, large 2 strokes have 200+ HP not 100+ HP
