Mercury 200 XR6
2001 year model
Motor was bogging down real bad and wouldn’t get on plane, stuck below 2000rpm even at wot.
Shop said compression test was in spec but leak down test revealed 80% loss on #6 cylinder. They want to sell me a new Mercury 175 for $18,000. or offered a rebuild for $8,000.
I found a second shop that offered the rebuild for around $4,000.
Is it worth the $4,000. and is that consistent with an average cost.
Any input is welcome.
