Gday Lures.
I had one for 3 years from new and I can not fault it at all.They have heaps of grunt and I think you will be very happy with your choice.Mine had about 800 or 900 hours I think on the clock and never failed me once.
Hope this helps.

Toddy


PS sorry I can fault it....the telltale hole is to small.I whipped a bit of whipper snipper chord together to unblock it.Apart from that....great motor.

Hi Lures,
I think Trav has his 2st 40 Merc for sale at the moment. It looks like a good buy at $4500.

G'day Lures, I have a 40 HP Mariner (same motor different badge). 7 years old and well over a thousand hrs running and still going strong. Only minor repairs like Impeller replacement. TOO GOOD !!!! Craig.

G'day Lures,
I have the US 3cyl 40hp Merc on my Hornet.
It is just 12 months old and runs well but I am thinking of upgrading to a 4 stroke.
I have not worked out how much I would sell it for but if you are interested e-mail me and let me know.

Stu.
