Ok Guys, when is too much preventive maintenance? My Merc 150 outboard just turned 5 years old.. The previous owner kept her in the water and when I look at the trim/tilt motor doesn't look good. Its still works, but it seems (at least in cold weather) to make more noise now. Should I replace it now? Is 5 years about average?
I am also looking at replacing all my hoses, at least the fuel ones.. I would rather spend more now, than be waiting next summer to get things fixed?
What do you think, I am off my rocker?
Thanks, Ken
The reason why I am asking is my water pump is acking up, gets hot when I go slow...(and my dealership said we can't get to it until DEC)
