[QUOTE="Rrider, post: 291514, member: 7456"] I have the Mercury 40 HP 4 stroke jet, which is the 60 HP power head. I have 120 hours on mine and it has been a great engine with no problems. It starts every time, even on those 15 degree duck hunting mornings. At idle the it is super quite and the basic maintenance is also extremely easy. Mercury did a great job in making things like changing the oil, replacing the fuel filters and even swapping out the throttle cable very simple. I would say the only downfall is the weight. I have it on a 1648 Grizzly and it took a little while to get the weight distributed correctly so the boat will easily jump up on plane in shallow water. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
