The little big engine
Let's start with the aesthetics: it doesn't serve much purpose, but it's always a hit. Very easy to prepare, it promises excellent performance, and we'll see it in action soon! Thanks as always to SVB for their speed and precision! You can always rely on them! Thank you!

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
