What is the school of thought about running the Motor dry of the gas before storage if you have a newer EFI 20 hp motor. There isn’t a carb to worry about and the fuel is shell premium. I understand that in this case you should leave the fuel in so the seals don’t dry up. Sent from my iPhone...

Given everything else checks out, I’d wonder if he jets in the carb got plugged. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got the 20 hp Mercury with ego and electric start. The electric start is a nice feature that I didn’t have before, and I am liking it. The idle seems a little jittery but we will see how it goes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok. Good to know. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the reply. Bass pro is selling them for a good price. With a 20 hp motor I can do most service work myself and essentially take it to whoever I feel will service it best. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tohatsu 20 and Merc 20 are the same motor are they not? Also the Merc 20 is EFI not carburetor, where the Honda is still carbureted. Is that desirable? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, I’m looking to buy a new 20 HP 4 stroke with electric start and tiller steer, in N. Ontario. In the 20 HP size, are they both great? Which model, Honda or Mercury is the best and why? Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just am new to outboards and wonder if in the 20 HP category, is there a clear better choice? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve been told that for my 14’ Legend Deep V boat the extra 60lbs of the 25 hp motor over a 20 hp motor, on the back of the boat, with the short shaft might be too heavy and let water over the transom. It was suggested I’d be better off to just get a 20 HP 4 stroke with electric start. I’m...

As for the battery, the short shaft apparently can’t have the power tilt, but can have the power start. I learned it will still have a pull cord which is great if I need it. Other than the power start and a fish finder, the battery really won’t be needed for anything else. What type of...

Ah! The charging system is a good idea. That way I don’t have to worry about keeping the battery charged. Ok. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m planning to get a new 25 HP 4 Stroke Mercury. To save money I am planning to get the one with manual start and tilt. Some people say that would be too hard to pull start. Are the new 25 HP 4 Stroke Mercury outboards very hard to pull to start? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Buy once cry once!! Like that. I’ll go for the 25 HP. There’s a Mercury dealer near me and a Honda one too. The Honda’s more money, but are the Mercury motors still good enough to not warrant the extra expense of the Honda? Also...I’m going to opt for a tiller steer, manual start and tilt...

60 lb weight diff between 20 and 25 hp Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey, I have a wide body deep V Legend Boat with a 15 HP 4 stroke motor. I need to replace the motor. I am open to suggestions. I am looking at buying a new 20 HP or 25 HP Mercury 4 stroke. There is a cost AND weight difference between the two and I’m not sure if it’s significantly worth it...
