2012 Mercury outboard junk

[cameronwhite]

This probably belongs in a different catagory, however i wanted as many reads as possible. I know my title doesnt sound very professional but there is know other way to put it. I exhausted hundreds of hours reading these fishing reports, talking to people, studying maps, try to come up with a game plan. Spent thousands of dollars on equipment,gps, ship to shore, rod holders, line counter combos, and so on. Stayed on S.B.I. from 8-4/8-11. I do not know the exact # of hours on the motor (hoping to find out during trouble shooting process) but i dont think there is over 3 hours on the motor.Started experiencing trouble out by green island, with mercury customer service on the phone the boat dies. I hand the phone to the wife and throw out an anchor so we do not blow into the island. By now i am in panic mode. Finally get it started and limp back to landing. No fishing the entire week, and absolutely no help or concern from Mercury. Was told all week 100% my responsibilty to do all work , research , phone calls, transportation to dealer etc.. Mercury slogan is #1 on the water? Not in my book. There customer service is a joke. Wish i could share more about some of the phone conversation etc, it would just take to long.

Does anyone know if this is spam? His posts never make sense.

Sure sounds like it's spam.

Back on topic...
I have a pic somewhere I took last year of a Merc outboard shipping crate, a big ol "MADE IN CHINA" stamped on the side. I guess some, but not all are made there.

I think he just writes stuff to make you curious enough to click on the provided link. Probably gets a few $.01 for each hit/click on the provided link. Then again it may be the owner of a business trying to drum up business. It is most likely an advertising gimick.

Ive had a yamaha for years and never had one problem, knock on wood. Mercury was once the only motor to have, now i hear nothing but problems with them. So go ahead and scream it, Mercurys are junk and i want my money back!!!
