Tested out a new 150 Mer 4 stroke but was not happy with the
torque to get up on plane and size of motor sticking up over transom.




Seriously? The Merc 150 4 stroke is the most compact engine in it's class, the thing looks like a 90 hp motor. Torque is amazing...the ride you tested was undoubtedly not propped correctly.

How long has Mercury been making 4 strokes? A very long time, actually.




Take a look in the video at the cowl of the Merc which is about 4-6 inches higher.
I felt the torque difference on my boat - i was very surprised myself.
