GOOD
3rd year with this engine, it is reliable and you can count on it at any time.
Always starts the first time once you know a little about your starting temperatures which require or not the use of the starter.
The engine cover is a little wide compared to what's inside. Too bad it doesn't fit in the rear trunk of the sailboat like my Yamaha.
The front part of the cover is not rigid enough to allow proper locking of the cover attachment. After 1 year (around ten uses) The attachment can be opened by simple pressure on the cover while this point The anchor is normally designed not to jump until the rear attachment has been unlocked.
I still remain satisfied with this engine because you feel safe with it.

General question
Joao M. | Apr 29, 2018 Flag of English
User image of Joao M.

Mercury 3.5HP - how has been your experience with this outboard? I have seen some very BAD reviews around 2011 to 2015 on this outboard, not starting, not running well, etc. I HEARD that mercury had re-designed and copied the much better Tohatsu 3.5HP. Can anyone who has bought this Mercury 3.5HP Four Stroke in the last 1-2 years comment on reliability, use, and "happiness" with the outboard? many thanks, Joao Mendes
