Now you're talking to the "Charlie Daniels of the torque wrench" when it comes to Mercury outboards. Darrell has forgotten more than any 5 of us will ever know about Mercury outboards, and more specifically about how to make then fly. Darrell belongs to a unique club, the 80+mph tiller club. Listen to what he tells you and do it! He's my brother by another mother
