Hows the new boat going?????
Sorry bit of a side question.
Hi all, after any performance info on these motors from any owners on here if possible.There seems to be some confusion out there about max rpm for this motor. All Mercury written data says 5800rpm where as their web site says 5300rpm. Would also like to hear what pitch prop, wot speed, boat type and fuel burn. Any and all information very much appreciated. Rob.

Mate, love it. Still mucking around with motor height and props. Very impressed with the hull in the Moreton Bay slop. Got most everything on it working now, been running around the bay with the zipwakes on auto and the auto pilot steering, different but all seems to work well.
was a good looking boat once done, she is a very kitted out boat that's for sure!
Im sure the auto pilot would come in handy though on some days!

I have the 150hp with the same 3.0L block. I am getting +2km/L pushing a 6.6m glass boat. the fuel consumption by L/km doesn't seem to change too much over the rev range either. If I cruise at 40km its about 18L and hour and if I cruise at 60km its about 30L an hour. 17 inch enertia. brilliant performance, huge torque, top speed 78kmh. best part is the service cost. I have had it serviced 3 times and never paid more than $330.
