I just bought this new Mercury engine. It is ready for its 20 hour service. I want to know, what will be done during the 20 hour service?

BogybudWelcome to the board. That info is usually in your owners manual and the service manual. If you have a new motor I would get both manuals. Your dealer should be happy to tell your also.I do not know but on 4 strokes I would expect to see engine oil changed with filter. The valves adjusted and the lower unit oil changed.They may also check timing .Anyway I would ask your dealer. Some dealers at this years boat show said they do 20 hr service for free. That was a Honda/Merc/Yamaha dealer.

I'm bringing my 2002 150HP carbureted Merc to the dealer tomorrow for it's free 20hr check. I was told it's basically just changing the lower unit oil and the fuel filter. I never saw this 20 hr check up mentioned in my owners manual.
