    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.

    looks like your getting all kinds of serious answers to your question there Mr. Screaming Pete 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 I think the smartcraft gauge said something like 400 and something gallons sofar....at 2-3 bucks a gallon...ouch
