Mercury 2 Stroke V6, 60mph for $500, HOT & WET

Welcome Back, HUGE EPISODE with a lot of content, Cheers!
If you are new here, please check out the entire series to learn more about this $500 Cee Bee Avenger project boat we picked up a few weeks ago with a 150hp Mercury Black Max XR2. In this episode I'll show you how to fix your water pressure gauge, we run it without any thermostats, we check the water pickups while on plane, POP SOME BOAT WHEELIES, go for another test run WITH brand new thermostats and do MORE WHEELIES, check the head temps with friggin lasers, I solve the mystery of the 2 bolt (old style) poppet valve, I show you how to verify your oil pump is working on the injection system, we go for another rip and start taking on water/sinking, and we still can't figure out why this thing is overheating and beeping at us constantly.
Also, if you are new here, please check out this entire series; there was an amazing response to the first episode in this series that covers the design and development history for the Mercury 2 Stroke V6 Outboard( • Mercury 2 Stroke V6 Hi... ).
