Mercury 2.5 hp outboard.

4 stroke outboard, this one was manufactured in 2021. Pushed my 14 foot Duracraft boat 5.5 mph today. Last week I got it up to 6.8 mph going downstream with the wind at my back. Engine and gear oil are to be changed every 100 hours.

Thank you for the tips about how to start the engine. I new zero about that, and now it looks very simple how to manage the engine. great! kind regards

Thanks for the thorough review of that particular outboard motor. It was really helpful.

I've had mine for about 5 years now. It on a 16ft jon. It's not a speedy boat but it gets me to the fish. The gas tank has a seam that failed me this year. 150$ for a new tank. I might be wrong but I think it split because I'd keep the vacuum knob closed when not in use and pressure build up over time split the seam. I just leave it open now and cover with a tarp when not using.

Love my little 2.5 Merc, got it on a 12’ job boat and she pushes it beautifully!

That's incredible. I just ordered a 30 Suzuki and was worried about speed on my 16-ft V Hull. Great vid 👍

Nice overall review of how this motor performs.

great video... i just picked up 2006 4stroke 2.5 Mercury today from FB Market place for $400 :) good condition

So just to get this straight since I bought a motor in the guy didn't give me the manual.... So your saying and showing that while its running the gas cas cap needs to be vented the whole time? I thought it was just during startup. Thanks brandon from Tennessee

I have a 2004 2.5 two stroke Mercury (made by Tohatsu) and was wondering if switching up to a 4 stroke would be much nicer. Your video answered my question - Good video!

This is a great engine. I use mine on a 17 ft MacGregor Venture sailboat. Plenty of power.. I store it on a little dolly.

[scenicdriveways]

Nice little setup you got there.

Only issue I see with starting like that is it’s not good to hit half your throttle range on immediate start up.

Harder on the nearly still dry impeller and much harder on a motor that hasn’t circulated its own oil yet.

Nice set up bro

Thanks for the video. I just bought a used Mercury 2.5 four stroke outboard but cannot seem to find out the year of it, online. I've got the model, serial #, etc. Would like to find out the info on it and find a good online store to buy the right parts for it when it comes time (spark plug, impeller, carb kit, etc). Thoughts? Thanks!

How long does a full tank of gas last?

Would you buy this motor again?

[markeaston]

This is a very helpful video thanks! When you say the fuel tank lasts for about an hour, is that at close to top speed or at a more moderate pace? I'm just trying to get a feel for its range.

Fought for 2 days with the 3.5 horsepower Tohatsu version before i got it running. Turns out it got either overfilled at one point, or it hates being stored upright on a stand

[Bushman-jp]

Can you start (or at least pull the rope) when it's in gear?

[clintperry]

How much are they $, and how much does it weigh ? Thank you .

[wolfpackflt]

The only thing the tell tale tells you is that your impeller is working it doesn't meant that you engine is being cooled.
