Recalls and some technical service bulletins sometimes far outlast the manufactures warranty.I spoke to Mercury this morning and they do not have a record any work being done on my engines, unfortunately. They were very quick to point out that the engines were out of warranty but did mention that I should have the regulator checked by a mechanic for any paint remnants. I will also take Nick70’s recommendation and have the fuel rails and injectors checked. Since I’m a newer boater and not a mechanic I have to ask…How involved is it to have the regulator checked. Is this a multi hour/day/week project? Does the boat have to be pulled to have regulator checked?
Thanks to the forum members…Extremely great resource!
Did they ask for your engine serial #S and was this actually Mercury Marine division or someone at an authorized Mercury Marine repair shop?
