They are great running motors when right. Original controls are a bit hard to find but I’m pretty sure newer Merc controls will adapt, depending on what throw configuration they are. They disappear like Alka Seltzer when put in salt water. Poof. Gear cases/gears can be a problem. Don’t even think about using it in salt water or you will go straight to Mercury Hell. Lol.
Last I knew, OEM impeller just went NLA but you may find others. Most Mark 25s I have seen have good coils but it’s all still available aftermarket. If you ask me, it’s a little under-powered for a 15 footer but will work, especially if you pick up a three blade, lower pitch than what’s on there now.
Long live American manufacturing!
