Which Mercury Sport Boat engines were susceptible to failing oil pumps and which engines have the newer redesigned system that was mentioned in a 2013 thread? Anyone know if the newer redesigned system is less failure prone or has anyone experienced a failure on the newer redesign? If failures still exist with the redesign it begs the question if bypassing the injection system and switching to premix is still a valid solution.
My engine does have the newer more rectangular plastic cover on top, it's s/n 0E397717 and in a 2002 Utopia 185 with the 200hp Optimax EFI.
There is excellent input on this topic on the forum but most is dated back to 2013 and hoping Dr Honda or or someone else is still available and knowledgeable on this topic.
