97 Merc 175 EFI

Losing a piston won't lock it up - a rod yes - chances are the block and crank may be shot - the LU and electronics are worth more than 200 if you want to part it out. You have the switch boxes maybe 150 - ECU - LU - stator ect. On the other hand a drop-on PH could be about 2K, check at Scream & Fly for PH's and drop-ons. You can also check for prices on the parts you have.

Just don't count on that being rebuildable

that engine has cdm's-,no switch boxes-old school mercs have switch boxes...
problem comes in with,you don't know if any of those parts are good-ask yourself the question,"would you buy a used ECU"...

Generally speaking . . . if the powerhead turns over a full 360 degrees without binding up and there is no hole in the block . . . there's a very very good chance it's rebuildable. If it's locked up solid . . . the crank is generally junk and there's about a 25% chance the block is rebuildable.

EFI stuff is worth $400 - $500 alone
