Buying a 15 hp outboard
(1/4) > >>
Buckski:
Looking to get a new 15 hp motor and was looking at a few.
I leaning towards a Mercury or Yamaha 4 stroke with a long shaft.
I know guys have their personal preferences but looking for people who own the products and why they purchased these and how do they like them or not?
Pros & Cons.
fish/hunt4ever:
Went with Mercury on all my outboards for the last 2 boats, like the warranty that they have and availability of parts and ease to work on them. Right now I have a 174 Pro XS and a 9.9 pro kicker EFI.  The last ones I had were a 90 Optimax, the thing was remembering the to fill the oil reservoir, and a 6hp kicker.  I would say the electric start and EFI are the way to go, easy start.  Right now I see Mercury is doing a couple more years of warranty so you get 5 years now.
