      Seth H How many racing records are held by Mercury outboards? Quite a few, and Honda and Yamaha can’t come close. Sure, racing engines don’t last nearly as long. My 2.5l 280hp needs more maintenance than most, but every pass it gets hit with a 300hp shot of nitrous. Now, I do have a 1960’s Merc 60hp that is on my small fishing boat and it has over 7,000 hours, still running strong. Never changed anything but water pumps, spark plugs and once a trim relay. My grandfather used it every day for more than 20 years, then my dad used it for another decade before I got it. I don’t have a problem with any brand of outboard, because I’ve had good luck with all of them. Even Chrysler/Force. Although, I will admit that the Evinrude/Johnson 60-75hp 3 cylinder engines are my favorite for smaller boats.

    • @sethh1577
      @sethh1577 4 года назад +2

      Adam R yeah but Yamaha isint in the racing industry they are more about reliability, but gee 7000 hours??, wow incredible, we have 4000 hours on our Yamaha, no problems yet! Just like you said spark, impeller, and we do the lower unit oil change every year

    • @adamr9215
      @adamr9215 4 года назад +2

      Seth H You were the one calling Mercury outboards crap. I’m just pointing out facts that prove otherwise. I’ve seen plenty Honda’s and Yamahas that didn’t make it too 100 hours before having major problems. Everyone turns out a few lemons. Also, some people try to use racing engines on their fishing boats, abusing the engine leading to a short life. Every time you see a big center console boat with 2 to 6 R series outboards on the back, you are looking at a boat where the owner wanted to show off his money, rather than picking an engine that was made for the job. Most of the “bad” engines I’ve seen were abused in such a manner. Weather it be people trying to troll with a racing engine (what kills most big racing Mercs) or trying to treat a lower rpm work engine like a high rpm racing engine (what seems to kill most of the Yami’s and Honda’s) it mainly comes down to people picking the wrong engine for the application.

    • @sethh1577
      @sethh1577 4 года назад +1

      Adam R yeah, but mercury warranty is 2-3 years, Yamaha 3-6 year warranty, to me that says enough about reliability. racing I’ll gladly give that to mercury, but for me and my little Jon boat I don’t need racing engines and high maintenance motors, just a reliable motor, with my 6 year warranty, but like you said there are cases were mercury would be the better engine, like racing boats

      Scott Souva, I’d say maybe a pipe issue. Maybe a leak. Haven’t had any problems with my inboard and it’s impeller.

    Hey I have a question. I have a 20hp Mercury 4 stroke and when it is under load, like for example getting on plane or I have 3 people on the boat the motor seems to "skip" like as seen at 17:53 but runs perfectly the rest of the time. Is this normal or do I have an issue?

    Appreciate your videos I have learned a ton. Question for you Im wondering if this has ever happened to you. I have 25 hp yamaha. I changed the impeller. Put it back together and when i went to start it thought it was in neutral and it was in Forward. Now its stuck in forward and i can't get the shift rod to go up or down.

      Chad Dame, maybe the shifter cable.

      You didn’t put it back together properly. Not suppose to be in forward when putting back together

      Mark Powers, I’ll second that. I’ll also take out my boat in honor of all the stay at home friends.

    Pretty durable! Edit: next time do a large motor maybe a 120 or something.

    Great video!!! The good ole boys! 🎣. I’m actually going tomorrow to check a used 16ft Jon boat with 2002 a mercury 6hp four stroke and hopefully is in good condition. Anything I should look for on the motor and for the boat? The guy is selling for his dad and he doesn’t know anything about boats and neither do I.
