I blew up my mercury 250 xs racing engine on my Triton, anybody know where I can get one. I need to fing a good mechanic. Pros Choice wants 9000.00 I think that is a little high. Should i get the cylnder fixed or put the whole power head on.

That sounds a little high to me but with it being a big and newer motor who knows. I would give Anglers Port a call and maybe Kaz will see the thread and chime in. He should know of a good place to have it done. I know he has suggested Anglers Port for me in the past with minor issues.
You might check with Larry at Martys marine in Osage Beach they're pretty well regarded around loz,9 grand is a pile......good luck.
Ouch! Personal opinion I wouldn't consider sleeving or repairing the cylinder doesn't seem to work out long term on a bigger V6. What year is it and I can do some looking around? That engine is from Merc's racing division and not a general production motor thus everything about it will be a bit more pricey.
You might call this guy – Chris 561-248-2903 great marine mechanic, KC area, fair prices and not a dealer so much more reasonable. Even if this is something he can’t tackle he could provide excellent advice. You can tell him Bill Keefer had you call. Good luck!!!
Thanks for all the advise!!!!!!!!!!!
You might want to try bass boat central, there is a forum on motors and repairs there, lots of good info
Looks kind of high to me!
$3,099.00 plus a $600.00 core charge plus shipping for a remanufactured one.
Here is the link:
ITG Marine - Mercury & Mariner Powerheads
Is this the power head for the pro xs though? 250 opti and 250 XS may be different.Quote:

I checked with insurance and it's not coverd. The boat is only 9 months old and Pros Choice wont help me at all they want to trade it.
Darn that stinks! Sorry!Quote:

Dealers typically don't offer more than 1-3 months on a used outboard engine not covered by factory warranty. If its a fresh rebuild or power head some will go longer. Unless otherwise stated in writing you best assume "as is".
Good to know O.S.S. Thanks for the info.
Just a guess here but I'd say you are now officially off State Farm's Christmas card list for this year.Quote:
