I was wondering if anyone has had or heard of issues with the 2002-2004 115 Merc 4 stroke engines. Are they a good motor? I've been looking for a used boats. Any info. would be appreciated. Thanks
I own one and have issues with it. If you would like an unbiased review of this engine call 231-722 - 4266 Sportfisherman sales and service in Muskegon Michigan. Ask for Jeff. Ask him about 2002 to 2004 Yamaha powered mercs and water in the crank cases. I was given( by Mercury) a 2004 4 stroke in place of a failed 115 optimax. I will say the 115 4 stroke has been much more reliable and has yet to fail me. However it is not as fast as the opti was and I hate changing the oil all the time. I fish more hours then most guys so this equates to changing the oil 4 to 5 times per season. If you are not going to troll much and dont fish every day the 115 4 stroke will be a great engine for you. Mike |
