Well guys and gals,"break-in" of my new 15 horse Mercury on my new A-14 Lund is almost complete. To the point where I can run it 1/2 to 3/4 throttle most of the time with short bursts of wide open throttle. But I'll tell you what!
That little Merc is QUIET at idle,...you can hear the water discharge from the water pump indicator hole. Easy starting,and DOUBLE the fuel economy than I had with the old two stroke. Motor runs smooth and it's not any louder than a two stroke at full throttle. I LOVE my little Mercury four stroke outboard!
In MY book,...four stroke Mercs rule!
