What’s the average life span of a powerhead? What’s the main cause for trouble in outboard motors? Poor maintenance? Bad luck? Or just flat out torture?
It’s better to be seen than viewed
May GOD Bless you in everything you do!
Tight lines!

Just depends.I've got a 1996 Mercury 225 EFI that still runs great.Life of an outboard is good maintenance and how you treat it.Always good clean fresh gas also.

no air cleaner =good place for mud dobbers.
lake water cooling =cold seize due to not warming up on every start.
clogged/worn cooling system due to debris in lake.
lean fuel/oil due to not running often enough or aged/bad fuel
other than those common problems , what could go wrong ?
