Mark..We did that on 3-200HP mercs we ran on a 31 foot offshore race boat. We did not want to chance blowing a power head because the oil injector went out. At 60+ mph running just under 6,000 RPM's once you hear the buzzer it's too late...... toasted power head. Never lost an engine, don't ask about the lower units though<sigh> Oh yeah we had the exhaust drilled out so those bad boys could breathe and you they are loud!!!!
