Ken,

I am surely no mech a neck but this sounds like it should be a fixable fuel system problem. A bad (soft)bulb in the line? Is the engine LEVEL with the water when trying to start? (not still in a tilted position from the trailering/unloading process?) Is the gas new from this year? And maybe it is an electrical issue--I dunno. But testing by a Mercury certified service department should be able to get it done.

I assume you have covered all of the above but just thinking/asking....... as carbed 4 strokes can cold start a little harder and do need some warming up before giving them throttle but also usually have less issues in general...once running.

Feel free to call if your issues aren't resolved. And by the way--that Merc is bullet proof! lol
