Yep, these are rugged, reliable, and easy to service…
Is this a salt or fresh water engine?
Don’t expect it to idle as nicely as an old 18hp, due to its funky recirculation system that prevents unburned fuel/oil from being dumped overboard like on older models. Nonetheless, it will idle all day without fouling plugs.
