Hi all, I've posted this review in this forum, because I'm not looking to fix something. Before I bought this motor I searched the forums here for a review or experiences but didn't find much, so I thought it might be worthwhile to post a review of my experiences so far with this motor. In spring of '08 I bought a new in the crate 25 hp short shaft tiller, dual start (both electric and manual start), 4 stroke EFI Mercury outboard. It was sold as 'last year's stock' which was fine by me. Epson Office T30 Resetter Software. I got the full 3 year warranty from the purchase date.

The manufacturing date on the serial number lists it as being made in late '06 which fit with it being 'an '07' model, even though Merc has done away with model years. I got what I still think is a really good deal on the motor. $2729 + tax which included a solas prop. It runs very smooth (is a triple).

No question it's way quieter than my old 2 stroke, but it's not exactly silent at idle. Someone sitting up front still has to raise their voice a little bit for me to hear of the motor idling at the back. I think I made a good guess on the prop pitch.

It's on a 16' open utility boat, no wooden floor, no live wells. Just a couple swivel seats and rod holders, fish finder etc. A pretty basic and light boat. Anyway, after the 10 hour break in period the boat would hit 34+ mph (according to wheel speedo on fish finder, I saw 35 mph sometimes) with me alone in it, or ~32 mph with a medium load (2 adults and a couple kids). Even with a very light load, I never hit the rev-limiter, so I think the pitch is good. I went with an 11' pitch prop.

The dealer didn't have any 12' pitches on hand, otherwise I would've been tempted to try that, but I'm glad to have the one I ended up with. I don't have a tach in it, so I can't tell you real rpm's.

One thing that is very noticeable, is how good on fuel it is. I burn about 1/2 of what I used to burn in my old carb'ed 2 stroke 25 hp. Having said that, the difference in economy alone doesn't really justify (to me) replacing the old one. Maybe on a thirstier engine it'd figure more into the equation. Things I don't like about it.
