NEW MERCURY 20HP INITIAL REVIEW AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURE!!!!

Показать описание

This is my 2023 mercury 20hp EH EFI short shaft outboard. Just an initial review explaining a few things about the outboard and its break-in procedure. Overall, it has exceeded my expectations and surprised myself with its performance. The engine light was just something small and didn't have any major effect with the outboard or its performance. Hopefully this video helped answer any questions and guides you into buying your next outboard!

The manual states you must run the engine at idle while flushing to open the thermostat to get a complete flush.

Enjoyed your video I have the very same 20hp motor have had great service out of the only problem it fouled a plug and would run slow and ruff. Changed plugs and it ran great . This happened after two years of use . I don’t run it a lot when I go fishing just from the ramp to the fishing spot. I crappie fish at night maybe 20 minutes on a total fishing trip . I probably need to run it a little more . I’m sure you will get good service.

I bought the outgoing model 20 to this one. My local dealer had it in the back had to get the dust off the box lol. Mine is a long shaft, power tilt, electric start. Just made 216hrs at 3 years old. Not one issue with Preforming normal maintenance and running it year round. 15ft Alweld marsh series tunnel haul is what I have it on. 24mph with 9 pitch SS prop. I’m sure this EFI would be a little quicker. Went with the 20hp to enter WLM areas with HP restrictions. Good luck and Nice video

I have the same motor only in the 25hp. 2023 model, Manual start, manual tilt. Question: The tilt lock lever on the left side allows to manually lock or unlock. When you put the motor in forward gear does it unlock the tilt, so when you hit an object, the motor would tilt forward so it doesn't hurt the lower unit. When you put in reverse does it lock the motor so it wouldn't pull itself out of the water? Mine doesnt do this which is concerning, every other outboard I have owned it automatically locks or unlocks the tilt depending on which gear (forward / reverse).

Hey man I have the same motor . What was the engine light issue mine came on today on the water today at full throttle I cut it off then started it back up and it was no longer on and the motor was acting fine I was just curious what your issue was

Just got that motor from my local dealer How fast would it go on my 14ft sea nymph aluminum boat I used to run a 9.9 Merc 4 stroke and pushed me about 17mph

brianvelasquez

How does it compare to an old 25hp 2 stroke to plan out ?

Will the tiller handle go in the center
It’s goin on a sailboat

Did you have to put oil or grease on anything? When you unboxed it? Or did they come ready to break in?

I would like to ascertain how will this motor run on my 11' Boston Whaler Sport 11 short shaft with 4 people. My 1969 Chrysler 20HP seems taxed and cannot put the boat on plane with the 8-1/2" X 8-1/2" prop and four adults...It does with two adults!
