mercury 25 efi recall

2 weeks ago i bought a brand new 25hp efi merc. today i got a safety recall in the mail. Recall says it is possiable for the throttle to stick between 2500 to 3500 rpm in either forward or reverse. apparently the fix is called a throttle lever bushing kit. i am somewhat disapointed but my dealer assures me that mercury suzuki yamaha and evinrude all have recalls. I in turn assured him that it is prime time for fishing and i need the problem fixed yesterday. they are supposed to let me know tomorrow when the parts will be here.

Oh man! Not good! Hopefully it gets resolved ASAP.

i stopped by dealer today. was told parts will be here friday. we will see.

That is not so bad - does the dealer have your boat or is it an "in and out" fix?

Good luck in any event

I'm sure it is a quick fix (as long as there aren't 50 other guys ahead of you) Until then keep it below 2500RPM or just be ready on the kill switch.

they told me it shouldn't take very long to fix. i am the first one in line for the recall at my dealer. flounder im with ya on the ready at the kill switch.

my dealer did not call me today. moday he will see the side of me that doesn't smile and joke around.

stop by dealers today and dropped off boat. he says 6 customers in front of me . he figures it will be thursday 4-10 when i can pick up my boat.

boat is fixed. it was a simple fix. 2 little bushunis on the throttle shaft. dealer said merc was affraid originals wouldn,t wear evenly and cause throttle to stick. at any rate i am back in buisiness. have to go to a wedding this weekend but next weekend i think i'll chase some juglines.

Good to hear man!
