2012 Mercury 75 hp 4-stroke
Not wanting to start a debate at all, just looking for some general input on this era motor.
I'm am about to pull the trigger on a major (to me) boat upgrade. 2012 Lowe 175 Stinger w a 75 hp 4-stroke. I've been trying to find solid info on the reliability or major known issues for these models of 4-stroke motors and I'm coming up short.
Just wanted to throw this out and ask if the pre 2015 Merc 4-strokes have any major drawbacks? Anything in particular I should inspect specifically on this motor? The specific motor on the boat I'm considering has less than 50 hrs on it, boat is immaculate. Service records look good too.
no matter what I'm doing, I've got hunting or fishing on my mind...
