guys , be carefull loading up your lower unit in the weeds ..
I thought my merc was a weedeater, and did a little "clearout" at our ramp.
I admit , I did a lot ..
thing is , the chopped up weed (alligator weed) did a number on my waterpump ..wore it out , also clogged the thermals ,and the poppit valve, not to mention , I had to pull the powerhead to get the weed out of the exhaust plate cooling holes ....
.
Next time , I will make sure it says "WEEDEATER " not mercury ..
hope this saves someone some grief .
