Default Mercury warranty service......once again it is outstanding.

A warning to the THT doom and gloom crowd - this is a good news post so you may not want to read any further.

A few weeks ago I posted some pics of a blown lower unit on my port motor. A few days after the unit failure I sent an email to my Mercury dealer explaining the problem. Apparently my email was blocked as spam. Since I had not heard from the dealer by the end of last week, I called them on Friday, around noon. I received a call late Friday afternoon from the dealer. He told me he sent a man to the marina to inspect the damage......before he left he replaced the entire LU. His words "you are good to go David".

What an outrage.......it took 4 hours to get a brand new LU installed on my boat as it sat at the marina. BTW - for those that think 4 hours is a long time......you are morons

Geez...hope you are sueing them for the 4 hours of down time.

If it was my motor company..they would have replaced my whole boat in the blink of an eye.

All kidding aside...sounds like you have a great dealer. I wish I could find one like that around here.

You should post the dealers name and drag them through the THT mud...

BTW...I heard you waked some duck hunters while swilling West epoxy when you took it for a test ride to check out the LU.
