Price and your mechanical skill/patience level, are your biggest factors, in whether you buy or not. Mercurys are not impossible to work on but tend to get more involved than OMC stuff, as a general rule. I have worked a lot on both products, both as a hobby and professionally. I have found this to be a fact. Old Mercs are also not good at ALL in salt water; so don’t even THINK about that. (New Mercs are fine.) However, like JW says, they are good running, smooth engines, when right. I know I would not likely turn down a Mark 30….
Long live American manufacturing!
