[QUOTE="fender66, post: 263433, member: 2990"] Last year, fall, blew my 225HP Merc Jet 5 miles from my dock. Fortunately, I was able to troll back. Bought a used power head to rebuild this motor, but haven't got to it yet. It's a time/money issue. 3 months later, after buying a 150 Merc, paying a lot to have the shop run through it to make sure it was in good shape, buying a glass boat and having it mounted....I was on the water for 7 minutes and blew that motor. I was able to troll back about 2 miles when I ran into a friend who towed us back the rest of the way. I rebuilt that motor over the winter and it's running great so far. Last year was VERY expensive and frustrating to say the least. [/QUOTE]
