They are both good drives but Mercruiser is much better to work with when you do have a problem. They take great care of their dealers which allows dealers to take better care of their customers...

It's interesting to hear you say that because the Volvo's are pretty popular and put in some very expensive boats. I'd personally never own one because I am well aware of their less than stellar reliability.
I'm curious about the Merc corrosion problems, is it just that the cathodic protection is not sufficient or a matter of having the right type?
