Re: mercury trouble

How long had you being driving before alarm?
Did it let you idle back to port?

Re: mercury trouble

We drove it for the 10 hour break-in on the engine. Pulled it out of the water to do an oil change.Basicly it was sitting without any oil for the winter. This engine is a 2012 model. Just to clarify, it was a continous alarm for 6 seconds. was driving for about 5 minutes before the alarm came on. Then the engine power was reduced and died. The model number is 1115F23EB.

Re: mercury trouble

Have a look at the spark plugs, see if they are even.
Is the paint on the head cracked like it has overheated?
If you can do a compression test thatd be handy.
I suppose it is not seized

Re: mercury trouble

If its still in break in, take it back to the dealer, it should be under warranty.
