garfield28 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Hi all, Just wondering if any of you members have a new Mercury 75HP 4 stroke, and if so give some feedback on them please. I am close to purchasing a new boat and it has a Merc 4 stroke so would just like to know how they perform and what they are like with fuel economy etc. It would be pushing a 484 Alloy Side Console. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I think the 75 is the smallest in that configuration, and is quite heavy (I think it shares the 90/115 basic powerhead) but I haven't checked for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Just to add, the motor will be fine, they are all good, just saying it might be heavy, not trying to say I don't like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browncrab Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Some of my mates had the exhaust burn through the manifold and did a fair bit of damage just after warranty ran out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatbastard Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I've got a 2017 80hp and on a trip to Jervis Bay we went 130k's and used 33 litres of fuel if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have still been covered by warranty under the reasonable durability provisions of the Australian Consumer Law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onearmedfisho Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I have a 2015 model Mercury 90hp and its been great. They use the same block from the 75hp up to the 115hp. Its a 2.1L so it has a lot of torque. Mines done about 350 hours and its never missed a beat. They weigh 163kgs. so not the lightest motors but more displacement than other motors in the same HP categories... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
