Well i just sold my 2011 15hp stroke yamaha for $1800 which is $400 less then i paid for it,then went out and bought a 2003 25hp 2stroke merc in near mint condition.I have a question about the tiller.It is very loose as far as going up and down almost like there is a washer missing between the tiller and the motor itself.Can that be fixed by a dealer?I wouldn't think it would be an expensive fix.Also i have 2 new spark plugs that are made for this motor but i over gaped them by a hair.The specs call for .040 and they are closer to .045.
My dealer said it won't hurt anything but i just wanted to make sure from some of the smart outboard users here.Will it be a problem?These 25hp 2stroke mercs and yamahas are hard to find near mint and when u can find one jump on it.They are also getting very pricey because people know there is none left to get.I paid a little more then i wanted to but it will be a good investment for a long time.
Any help on the few questions would be great,thanks.
