The rental fleet I manage is getting old and we are starting to see
some catastrophic failures. This Merc 2.1L 90hp EFI broke a rod last week. It had 2077 hours on it and since it was a rental it was treated as such. Customers are very hard on equipment. The small end of the rod broke and what was left of the rod swung around in the case like a weed eater almost sawing the top off the block. It blew the starter clean off!     I can't complain though, they have seen a rough life. |

I hope you charge the customer for the damage.

Wrong. Didn't charge them for any damages, just the time they spent on the boat while it was running. |

FIL's 90hp merc developed a knock the first time he took it out this spring.
Changed the oil and filters. Luckily found a in-stock 60hp. Cousins 60hp merc has used oil from the beginning. Bought it new last year and the local merc dealer is no help. Motor was not bought from him so he is being a real asshole. Dealer they bought it from is in Fairbanks. |
