Thought I would start a topic on if you owned or own a Mercury 300 pro max or 300x and how many problems or blown motors have you had ? I personaly have had the reeds replaced 3 times and the lower end 1x. Lets hear your stories. Good or Bad :)

I have an Evenrude 35. I know its not a 300 but it's still been a sweet motor. We call it old reliable because it's got 1500 hours on it and still works great. It's pushing my 28 Eliminator quite nicely. So far I have done 6 MPH on GPS but my Butt O Meter is thinking its done about 7.5 in good water and nice weather.

Problems :confused: Yea now that you mention it the damn thing seems to be using a lot of oil! :(
Smokes too :confused:
Everyone I know who has one, Love's it!
looks like your getting all kinds of serious answers to your question there Mr. Screaming Pete :rolleyes: At 30 hours ours has been flawless, other than the choke arm vibrating off once(a 10mm wrench and some locktight fixed that!) allways starts right up, and idles perfect. Does use a ton of gas though :D I think the smartcraft gauge said something like 400 and something gallons sofar....at 2-3 bucks a gallon...ouch
