Hey Guys and Gals, I’m new here, searching and reading a lot. It’s my first post. This is a great site.
So I’m about to pull the trigger on a 2006 Merc F25 ELH Jet outboard. Does anyone have any experience with this outboard? Good or bad? It has the same displacement as the 30 hp powerhead (prop model) in the same series. So if it’s really putting out 25 hp at the jet it must be a very efficient jet or the powerhead is putting more than 30 hp.
I was looking through the Mercury spare parts site and the prices are crazy. You would think that everything is made of gold. With that in mind, I just want to make sure that this motor series doesn’t have a bad reputation. It will power a 1448 Jon with the intent of accessing some local rivers. Thanks for any advice.
