i buy mine for 150euro.. Clean a carb and fix broken plastic pin on gas lever inside engine and off i go

Incredible deal, excellent low cost outboard, plus they cost nothing to maintain, and parts are available everywhere! Enjoy!

Thanks man pick us up in a trade basically new no manual Good vid wish you would’ve done the coldstart a little more in depth I know it’s basic but I can’t get mine started been sitting all winter any suggestions

Bought one last year with just 1hr of running time on it.. starts very easy n ticks over perfectly from cold.. one i will say is they don't like stale or old fuel... must be fresh fuel and if possible the slightly higher octane petrol most garages offer... tappets were a bit noisey but now they to tolerance its almost silent when on idle. I change the oil every 10hrs.... In all im very impressed

UPDATE: I sold the engine, simply don't have a need for it as I have yet to use the dinghy. Compared to my old 2-stroke it was harder to start, the throttle setting had to be exactly as directed on the handle. If I needed a small engine again I would go with a used 2-stroke 2.5 or 3.3.

nice and quiet too, my Honda 2.3 makes racket.

Yes, but the Honda is substantially lighter, and has no cooling system to maintain. If used daily for long periods I could see the Honda noise getting annoying.

Two days on lake. First day started it four different times no problems. Second day we go miles down the lake I cut it off to fill with new 100% unleaded and it will not start again! Tried off and on for hours while trying to get back with troller. Finally called for a tow from husband and when back and tied up I tried and it started in two pulls. Very frustrated !

I have the 2016 its the same thing your right U use it to go mangrove snapper and snook fishing.Good motor its a light ut doesnt waste gas at all its crazy efficient im go8ng to prob buy the 3.5 carb as it doesnt have any other difference.

I ended up selling it for $500, never really ran that well. I'd look for a 3.3 or 2.5 older 4-stroke.

I'm a newbie....was hoping for a "how to start" tip. For example, my used 2002 6 hp doesn't have a red cord to the kill switch attached.

$500 was indeed a deal. In 2015 I managed to find a new/unused 2012 Mercury (Tohatsu) 6hp 4-Stroke for just under $600. It has been a great little outboard.

Just picked up one in a trade no Owners Manual Thanks for posting this helped out got it going good wanted to ask how long do you leave the choke out I noticed if I left it out about a half to1” seemed to run OK haven’t been on the water yet Have you ever run out of gas on a normal fishing day. Seems like a small tank?

Get a Tohatsu owners manual. More detailed than Mercurys and it's the same motor.

I bought one of these brand new. I have had trouble since the first day on the lake. After one year it still won't run right, so it's going back to the dealer. If the dealer gives me grief then I will buy some ores and take the motor for scrap.

Yes, mine is very hard to start and will stall for no good reason. Throttle will bog down then stall out. The carb is a poor design and I'm sure that is the issue. Somehow there is not enough air getting into the engine to keep it running.

Do any of these smaller outboard engines have a small charging system built into them (say under 5hp)? would be nice to have it topping up the battery for the trolling motor while in transit.

no they do not have output, just barely enough to run the ignition system. like on a lawn mower or a weed trimmer.

Yamaha used to make Mercury 4 stroke outboards now they no longer do bad mistake for Mercury

Chris, check out my update below. This engine is heavy and doesn't like to idle. I sold mine and got an older 2-stroke (lighter and more reliable). For a 10' you may want more power if you don't mind the weight of a heavier engine. If looking for a small engine check out the Honda, the are louder (air cooled 2.3hp), but lighter and have much better reviews than the small Mercury/Tohatsu ones.

I happy pay little more go for Yamaha !

Does it also start in forward position or is than a gear save engaged?

I don't remember, probably has a safety.

two problems, it needs fuel filter to be placed as fast as possible, and newer start it out of water, not even for second as impeller is weak and will crack instant upon dry start.. For rest is fine litle engine..

@timothybrown1763

I've had one for about 12 years....I've never used a fuel filter but I think it's a good idea. Since I've taken it out of the box it starts easy (I have changed the spark plug) but it takes awhile to warm up. It's kind of inconvenient to have to gradually push the choke in and give it throttle but once its warm it's not a problem. One thing about the impeller: I've never replaced it but I live in a cold climate and before storing it for winter I pull the safety lanyard so it wont start and I pull the rope a few times to cycle out any excess water. If theres water in the transom and it freezes it could cause damage.

Had mine back to the dealer for a new carb but it is still having trouble getting started. Will run a for a bit, but then dies and will not restart. Just what you need when out on the water. American made junk.

It runs well, but is not as forgiving as 2-strokes. For example, when warm a 2-stroke will start at basically any throttle setting, with this engine you have to pay attention to the throttle position... choose "restart" when warm, if not it will not start..

your mercury outboard needs a valve adjustment it hase bad valve ticking noise.
