hey thanks for all the replys, i took it down to bill vance this morning, the motor is now making a whistleing whining sound, i think it is the compressor. only had the boat out once, now i owe 28000 dollars for a broke dowm merc, loveley lol. i guess i should have learned my lesson from the other garbage mercs ive had. so after i let the boat go back to the bank ill be looking for a older bass boat with a yamaha, or evenrude for cash lol. oh and stay away from pros choice marine in warsaw. they either didnt check the motor out or just unloaded it on me.
