It's the jet version and it's sold, although he wants to pay with Paypal and I think he's going to get a shock at the charges!

Still drawing a blank

Despite trying most importers, agents and re-sellers we're still drawing a blank. There must be one lurking somewhere???

Does it have to be a Merc 120? Are you repowering something? If you find one make sure it's a late model one, the early ones had issues .........

Yes it's a re-power and has to be a like for like swap.

Have you asked Barrus or anyone else what would be a suitable replacement with the least amount of grief? There must be something that would fit? I assume the existing engine is beyond repair?

End of the road....

Thanks for the suggestions to date, although all lines of enquiry for this re-power are drawing a blank!!

Thought I'd try posting one last time (incase anyone missed out on the opportunity to sell one) before calling it a day.

Go to Yahoo groups and do a search for "cummins_mercruiser_120hp_DTI" - they may be more help ...............
