Never ever owned a Merc!!! Never will!!! Retired marine tech here. I know to much about them, I know how they built them over the years, I know how they would not stand behind them at times, how much more expensive to repair for labor and parts, personally had to many we installed and within minutes blew up. Could keep going by writing a book, but I’m just warning any one that’s thinking about buying. And even as this video shows when blocking the nose cone with Allen screws it could create cavitation and hurting the prop. To me the worst thing they did, we noticed was when Evinrude went under, within one year there parts prices skyrocketed. You want speed and high costs, buy Merc, you want to enjoy your boat, with a lot lower costs and maybe lose a couple MPH, buy Suzuki!
