Opinions on the new Mercury 300 v8 outboard

My 2020 200HP Merc Seaspros have been awesome and when I did have an issue Merc made it right at no cost to me. I only wish would be that they spend a bit of R&D time on improving the cowling trim switch. I have had both fail on both motors and it it sucks that they fail on
 
I’m nothing but happy with my ‘23 Merc 250hp, 450 hours in. Sounds like it isn’t even trying at cruise (4000RPM, 30mph).
 
Glad to hear you're having good luck with them. Is any one running the new verados with a sea star power steering pump instead of the mercury pump? Spoke with a few shops and I guess this is a common thing. Tempted to buy the 300 verados and run the sea star pump.
