I had a few of those Merc's..What made them tough for me to work on when I was 12 or 14 yrs. was those darn needle bearings Mercury used..Miss one and things didn't go so swell....I had a 10' boat with a Mark 30..That thing moved...Then a Glasspar G-3 with a Mark 70E...To shift into reverse you had to stop the engine and restart,,Hopefully before hitting the dock...Don't ask how I know......
