I checked with Mercury............they said the motor was still in breakin, which is possible, since I bought the boat from someone who ONLY used it 6 times and said he didn't have more than 1-2 hours on it.

So, with my 5-6 hours, I can understand where it is still using a LOT of oil. The dealership (clarksville BPS) said they could put it on the computer and tell EXACTLY how many hours, but I figured I'd go at least 5-10 more hours before I really worry.

What do you guys think?

Thanks,

Geo
