My neighbor has an IO and I helped him replace his... ( they take on alot of water real fast when they blow out all at once).
if I remember right they are about $120 and they go in farly quickly.
My neighbor and I was anchored on scofield when his blew out and we started sinking FAST. he has a 26' cuddy and we almost had the engine submerged. it started and when we took off acrossed the water the water that was in the boat got sucked out pretty quickly so as long as we stayed moving it was ok. we made a quick stop so I could jump out and get the trailor in the water and retrieve him but it could have been alot worse.
