Like the title says, I am in the need of a replacement for a 2004 Mercury 90 ELPT 4 stroke.
Looking for recommendations on a good place to find a good price and install.
New, used or possibly a new/reman powerhead would work.

I live in southwest WI. but would drive for the right deal.

Thanks, Ken

I know that Starks in PDC has been around forever and deals in a lot of motors that size.

Outboard mechanics can come and go, but they've had some good ones over the years. They also have some trade in's on occasion. Plus they would be relatively close, because things don't always work perfect and when they don't it's good to be within range of your mechanic.

Give Mike at MD Services a call at 2622063045. Burlington, WI, and worth the trip.

I stopped at Starks the day after the motor blew. Got a price on a new motor that is in stock. They are a great place to work with.

I will call Mike in Burlington and get a quote from him also.

Thanks for the responses. On another note, my wife called our insurance and they suggested I get an estimate on the damage as it may be covered!

Double checking on that tomorrow. Again, thanks guys.

Two surprises today.
(1) My insurance guy is working on Labor Day.
(2) My insurance is covering the damage to my motor.

I took the motor to a local mechanic. He tore into it and found the connecting rod on the bottom cylinder broke, causing the rod to nearly cut the powerhead in half.

Thanks for the advice guys. Now to get the boat back on the water for the fall bite!
