Location: Richland Center, WI. | Purchased a new boat in 2005 with a Mercury 90 horse 4 stroke motor on it. Always seemed hard to start. Took it in to a marina to get it checked out and the mechanic said the carbs were not syncronized and the electronic system that helps with the cold start needed work. All work was covered under warranty. Took the boat out of storage last week and decided to take it to another marina to have it checked out to get ready for some walleye action (hey, musky still closed in WI.) I was told that somehow the motor had carbs installed from a 75 horse 4 stroke motor. Anyone else ever have a problem like this? Motor and boat were 2004 model boat new in 2005. |

Location: Rhinelander. | Have a friend that took his boat with a 150 on it in for work. When he got it back ran like crap. could not get rpms up. They had no clue as what to do. He came over to my house and looked at my carbs and saw all were same size. They put some the wrong size in his motor. Now someone has his others in there motor also. Could be the mechanic had too much on his bench.
Fixed now ,runs good. Pfeiff |

Location: Richland Center, WI. | That's what I was thinking but it sounds like Mercury is sending new carbs out for the 90 horse and are covering it under warranty. Must have been an error on the assembly line or something. They had no explanation but are going to cover the new carbs so I cannot complain!
