rebuilding/repowering a 20' center console

[Fr. Frank]

Frank,
I thought the 150XR4s were all 2.4L. My '91 XR4 is. I just assumed the XR2s were 2.0L, the XR4s were 2.4L and the XR6s were 2.5L. Not so?

Nope. My XR4150 was a '90, with large gearcase lower unit off a '96 225. The XR4 150 up to and including '91 were definitely 2.0L, (as was the regular 150 and 135 V6, but the '88-'91 XR4 200 motors were 2.5L, as were the 150-175-200 XR6 motors which came out in '92.

Of course, there exists the possibility that I'm completely wrong. Tim (BigShrimpin') would be the authority on this. I know a lot more about the pre-'88 Merc inlines.

John, you first need to open up a free internet account on some site (Photobucket is a good one many of us use) that allows you to upload the pictures from your computer to that site. It's actually a good way of backing up important pictures to prevent loss due to a hard drive crash, etc., and you can then get to them from any computer with internet access. Checkout this post from Capt. Chuck in the Photos section that provides step by step instructions. It's real easy once you learn the process. Denny
