I have the exact size motor and same year. Great motor, uses very little gas. Its so quiet when i stop to drift fish with the current you can't hear it running. I am 100% sold on Mercury this is my second one, the first was a 40 and never had an issue. Thanks for video.
only cracks are where cement joints underneath are. Its not very noticeable at all. Still holding up very well after five years. Better than I thought it would myself.
