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.

Mercury 3.5 hp 4 stroke
My grandfather had the first 5 hp Mercury 4T back then. I drove this for many hours as a child.
After successfully passing my driving test, I drove two two-stroke engines. Now my girlfriend and I have an 8 meter spitzgatter and wanted a dinghy just for the harbor.
Then we came across this outboarder.
This is super light in my opinion, the consumption, since we often drive at idle speed, is, in my opinion, around 0.1-0.15 liters, so that you can drive forever on just one tank of fuel. The engine has excellent idle performance. (No stuttering or stalling), but only after approx. 2-3 hours of operation.
We are very convinced of this engine!!
If an outboard orderer, then Mercury!!

One more point, very easy to use.

dinghy engine
Drive for the dinghy (Rib). Light, but still sufficiently strong dinghy motor that is quite uncomplicated. The screw-in flushing connection to which a water hose can be connected is very practical.
The scope of delivery with engine oil, two emergency stop clips, on-board tools and short and understandable operating instructions was also very positive.
I would also like to emphasize the good telephone advice from SVB and the super fast delivery. Ordered Monday morning and delivered Wednesday noon - tpp)

Good little engine
I use it with a 3.20 m polyester boat on the coast for fishing at less than 2 miles, either to train in slow motion, or to sail. Its power is largely sufficient and its consumption very low (less than a liter of gasoline for a morning of fishing). It's just a bit noisy at high revs. This is the 2nd one I have and am very happy with it.

The best cost-to-performance ratio
I use this engine for a 2.85 meter tender. I highly recommend this engine for its low fuel consumption but with the power that allows you to glide with 2 people on board. The only flaw is that the user manual is only in English and the warranty in German.

On the positive side I found the lightness and power and also the low noise of the engine, too bad it is not equipped with reverse gear.

Lightweight, reliable, high-performance
It arrived earlier than expected, it is a quality product, I recommend it. It started easily and pushes well, it would appear to have more horsepower than actually claimed. If I really have to find small moles, I would like to point out the lack of reverse gear which must be compensated by turning the engine suddenly 180 degrees and the lack of a socket for external tanks (the internal one lasts about 45 minutes and then it must be supplied with a tank and funnel). bit uncomfortable but for the type of engine there is.

A really good engine
The scope of delivery is extremely complete, a second emergency stop line is included, as well as a reserve start line, a second shear pin with a split pin for the prop, and even the required engine oil. Unpacked, filled with oil and gasoline, the engine jumped on the second train and ran quietly to itself. The lack of reverse gear takes getting used to. To drive backwards, the motor is turned, ie take off the gas, take out gear, turn the motor, throw the tiller, go back in gear. This means that stopping the sailboat takes longer, which should be taken into account when maneuvering in the harbor. But it is certainly a question of getting used to, and it saves weight. Isn't that unimportant if you want to lift the engine from the sailing boat onto the dinghy and attach it ...
