I will pull the thermostats tomorrow and cross my fingers.

When I was looking for the serial number earlier, I found something else not connected, I'll get pics of it tomorrow. It looked like it may have been related to the oiling system, assuming it had that. It runs on premix now.

Yep, '99 woulda been an auto-oiler...glad to hear she's a mixer now...did you talk to David about it?



R-Man...are you familiar w/ Accu-Mix bottle...easiest way to mix gas/oil 8)...$3.99 at most dealers (Merc or others) and I think I saw 'em in Wallyworld...

David did not know much about boats, especially this one. I think he only took it out 2 or 3 times all the years he had it.

Accu-mix bottle came with the boat filled with oil. ;D

TinMan was having overheat issues as well w/ his 98 200 Merc. He hasn't been around much lately......he did alot of diagnostic/trail and error......didn't get it sorted out yet but there was alot of speculation leaning toward the "poppet" valve. Mercs seem to have their share of cooling issues. A bevy of information to be had on THT about Mercurys. Hope you get it worked out, nice boat too , good luck :D

With the barbs on those two nipples, there's GOTTA have been hoses on those at some time...I'm thinkin' oiler related...particularly since oiler discoed ;) ...wonder if those holes should be plugged?... ??? ...




Good deal on the Accu-Mix bottle ;) ...
