Default Re: 255 merc engine

Years ago I bored my 255 to 3.375in. Ran fine up north with cooler ambient temperatures. Ran hotter in in higher ambient trmps. Wall thickness has a lot to do with heat dissapation and cavitation. 3 5/16 bore seems better.

Opinions will vary as you are about to discover.
