Early 496HO with a serial number OM025721
Anyone know if Merc issued any updates or recalls for this motor with that vintage serial number?
I was able to find out that it is NOT one that needs the push rod update and was wondering about any other known items.
Thanks

Most of them are eligble for an ECM reprogram to lean them out a bit. Mine was done under warranty, and they actually replaced mine.
