I am a new comer to this site and I am really excited. What a great way to share knowledge. I am looking at buying a 1983 23' Sea Craft that is powered by a 1997 Mariner 225 EFI. If anyone who has owned this engine could drop a few lines about their history with it, I would really appreciate it. I think it has about 800 hrs on it, is that a lot for this engine? G-Gordon.
